Choice C may be correct, but syndromes generally refer to a set of symptoms that occur together, and not specifically a genetic condition. Choice D refers to a chart showing the genetic relationships between individuals in a family, but does not specifically refer to a medical condition. Choice E refers to an individual who has one copy of a gene for a genetic disease, but does not necessarily indicate the presence of medical problems.
