The following pedigree shows the inheritance of a recessive trait. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, assume that the individuals who have married into the family do not carry the recessive allele. What is the chance that the offspring of the following matings will show the trait: (a) III-1 × III-12; (b) III-4 × III-14; (c) III-6 × III-13; (d) IV-1 × IV-2?

The following pedigree shows the inheritance of a recessive trait. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, assume that the individuals who have married into the family do not carry the recessive allele. What is the chance that the offspring of III-1 and III-12 will show the trait? a) 1/32 b) 1/4 c) 1/8 d) 1/64 e) 1/16
Adi S.
Consider the following pedigree. Assume individuals marrying in do not carry the trait – but also note that individuals in the first generation are NOT marrying in (I-1, I-2) and may be any genotype. A. What is the most likely mode of inheritance for this pedigree? B. What is the probability that III-6 and III-7 had those children (in order left to right)? C. What is the probability that II-1 and II-2 have 4 more children – 3 unaffected daughters and one affected son?
