Question

Cystic fibrosis is inherited through an autosomal recessive allele. A normal woman marries a normal man. Neither knows their family history. What are the couple's possible genotypes? If the couple produces a child with cystic fibrosis, can you now determine their exact genotypes? What is the likelihood (in percent or fraction) that their second child will also have cystic fibrosis?
