For a recessive condition, two normal heterozygous individuals have children. What is the likelihood of their children being affected by this condition? What is the likelihood of their children being carriers without the condition? What is the likelihood of their asymptomatic children being carriers? Suppose that an individual with the condition has children with a heterozygous individual, what is the likelihood of their children being carriers?

Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive genetic disease. Two individuals, both of whom are heterozygous for a recessive allele that causes the disease have one child who does not have the disease. What is the probability that this child has the potential to pass the disease-causing allele on to the next generation? Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive genetic disease. Two individuals, both of whom are heterozygous for a recessive allele that causes the disease have one child who does not have the disease.
