- What is the probability that the child will be affected and the parents will be carrier?
- Relevant Equations
- N.A.
My Attempt: For the child to be affected, both the parents must be carriers.
Hence P(child)= Probability of the father of passing down an affected allele x Probability of the mother of passing down an affected allele
= 1/2 x 1/2
=1/4
The answer is (a).
I'm completely lost. Please help.
