August's deformity is due to:

• A problem at birth

• A genetic problem

• A fluke

• Human error

When August was born with his deformity, Mum and Dad both had genetic testing. What is genetic testing?

• Tests which identify changes in the ability to learn.

• Tests which identify issues with the brain

• Tests which identify issues with blood.

• Types of tests which identify changes in chromosomes, genes or proteins.

The genetic tests identified that:

• Mum carries the mutant gene that caused Augie's deformity

• Both Mum and Dad carry the mutant gene that caused Augie's deformity

• Dad carries the mutant gene that caused Augie's deformity

• Neither Mum nor Dad carry the gene that caused Auggie's deformity.

What is Via's problem at the end of the chapter?

• She also carries the mutant gene.

• She thinks Auggie's deformity will get worse.

• She thinks she should be tested for the mutant gene.

• She is happy that she doesn't have a deformity like Auggie.
