Recessive mutations in some rare genetic disorders can manifest as disease. A couple had four sons and four daughters, of which two sons developed such a genetic disorder. The parents did not manifest disease symptoms. Further studies showed that this disease affects only males. If genes P (dominant allele) and p (recessive allele) are involved in this disorder, identify the correct statement from the options given b
