This will lead to chaos with the Krogan alliance in Mass Effect 3. When Mordin chooses to go to the tower you will have time to intervene. You have to shoot Mordin before he enters the lift. He dies and the Genophase remains the same. Wrex will find this out later and attack the commander. He also dies in the process and you will lose your alliance with Krogan. This will reduce your war asset by 150 in Mass Effect 3.
