(C) It underscores the importance of a trait mentioned earlier in the passage. (D) It supports an assertion made earlier in the passage. (E) It questions the evidence for a tradition mentioned earlier in the passage. Questions 19~20 are based on the following passage. Founder mutations are a class of disease-causing genetic mutations, each derived from its own ancestral “founder” in whom the mutation originated. While most disease-causing mutated are found in humans at a rate of one in a few thousand to one in a few million people, founder mutation can occur at much higher rates. This apparent anomaly is partially explained by the fact that most founder mutations are recessive: only a person with copies of the affected gene from both parents becomes ill. Most people with only one copy of the gene—“carriers”—survive and pass the gene to offspring. Furthermore, the single copy of a founder mutation often confers a survival advantage on carriers. For example, thehemochromatosis mutation protects carriers from iron-deficiency anemia because the mutated gene allows increased efficiency of iron absorption. 19. The passage indicates which of the following about founder mutations? (A) Carriers of founder mutation may receive certain benefits from the mutated gene. (B) People
