A couple who wishes to have children visits you, a genetic counselor. There is a history of a deleterious recessive trait in males in the womans family but not in the mans family. The couple is convinced that because his family shows no history of this genetic disease, they are not at risk of having affected children. What steps would you take to assess this situation and educate the couple?
Unattached earlobes (E) are dominant over attached earlobes (e) [Figure (a) and (b)]. If a woman with unattached earlobes and a man with attached earlobes have children, what percentage of their children has the possibility of having unattached earlobes if the mother is homozygous for the trait?
