HITCHHIKER'S THUMB: The distal (last) joint of the thumb can be bent back to form a 45 degree angle with the proximal joint (attached to your hand) if you are homozygous recessive (hh) for this trait. Michael has a well-developed hitchhikers thumb, but neither of his parents show the trait. If his parents have another child, what is the probability that he/she will also have a hitchhikers thumb?
