Members of the Poaceae family, which includes all of the cereal crops, use benzoxazinoids, these alkaloids shows;

a) Alkaloids are derived from the tryptophan as constitutively produced defensive secondary metabolites

b) These benzoxazinoids such as DIBOA and its derivative DIMBOA are usually stored in the peroxisome

c) Upon damage, the inactive glycosides are hydrolyzed, generating glucosinolate, which are toxic not only to insect herbivores but also against pathogens

d) DIBOA and DIMBOA perform insecticidal and pesticidal activities

e) It can be inactivated by hydroxylation and N-glycosylation reactions

You are running a human assisted reproduction clinic and providing state-of-the-art genetic diagnostic services. A married couple who already had a child with cystic fibrosis approach you because they wish to have another child, but only if they can be assured that the child will not have cystic fibrosis. You genotype the woman and discover that she is a heterozygote for Del508, the most common mutation causing cystic fibrosis. You suggest that the couple consider first polar body testing, in which several unfertilized oocytes (each with its first polar body) are retrieved from the woman, the first polar bodies are removed, and PCR tests are conducted on DNA from each of the first polar bodies. The couple agrees, and you obtain the following results:
 
the observation that the polar bodies for oocytes #1 and #5 test positive for both Del508 and the wild type sequence, because
