1) suppose that two parents are both heterozygous for sickle cell anemia, which is an autosomal recessive disease. they have eight children. use the binomial theorem to determine the probability that three of the children have sickle cell anemia and four of the children are healthy. round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
2) huntington's disease is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder that can affect both men and women. imagine a couple has had seven children, and later in life, the husband develops huntington's disease. he is tested and it is discovered he is heterozygous for the disease allele, hh. the wife is also genetically tested for the huntington's disease allele, and her test results show she is unaffected, hh.
a. what is the percent probability that the first child of this couple will have huntington's disease?
b. what is the probability that any six of the seven children will have huntington's disease?
