A child has been diagnosed as having a genetic disorder based on a mosaic trisomy. The nurse recognizes that the mother understands the significance of this diagnosis when she states:
 
  1. Because my child has a mosaic trisomy, he will have some normal cells in his body, which means his disorder may not be as severe as in other children.
  2. Children born with mosaic trisomy do not pass the disorder on to their children.
  3. Mosaic trisomies are inherited from the father's side of the family.
  4. Mosaic trisomies occur in an ovum from an older woman.
