Question

Suppose the mating had occurred between homozygous recessive male for a disease and a normal female known to be heterozygous. What would the probabilities be for the following outcomes?  3 offspring in the following order: normal, with disease, normal

 

Use the factorial equation

           n!/x!(n-y)!  *  (p)x (q)n-x

 n =  number of events (offspring)

 x =  number of normal / dominant offspring

 n-y =total - number of abnormal / recessive offspring

 p =  probability of producing a normal/dom

q =  probability of producing an abnormal/rec
