Consider an autosomal recessive disease in which an individual must inherit two recessive alleles to display the disease phenotype. What is the probability that a woman who is a heterozygous for the trait and a man who is homozygous for the dominant allele will produce an offspring with the autosomal recessive phenotype? Assume no new mutations occur. Select one    1.) 100% 2.)25% 3.) 0% 4.)50% 5.) More information is needed

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
