The allele responsible for cystic fibrosis is recessive in humans: A woman with cystic fibrosis has children with a man who does not have this disorder but whose mother did If they had two children, what would be the probability that their children have the disorder? 100% 50% 25% 0%

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. A man who is heterozygous for cystic fibrosis has a child with a woman who has cystic fibrosis. What is the probability that if they have a child, the child does NOT have cystic fibrosis? a. 50% b. 0% c. 75% d. 25%

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?
