Assume for a moment that a child has a autosomal recessive disorder, but both parents appear normal. What is the genotype of both parents? : one parent must be homozygous dominant : both parents must be homozygous recessive : both parents are heterozygous : both parents nust be homozygous dominant
Two parents learn they are each carriers for Cystic Fibrosis, each having the genotype (Aa). Using a punnett square, perform a genetic cross to determine the probability that their children will inherit two recessive alleles and have Cystic Fibrosis (aa). In your answer, explain the probability using either percentages (%) or odds out of 4 (1/4, 3/4, etc).
