For the most likely mode of inheritance:
What is the genotype of individual 1-2? (be sure to include proper nomenclature
punctuation)
What is the probability that individual III-5 is heterozygous? (enter as a fraction in
lowest terms - i.e. 1/3 not 2/6)
If individuals II-5 and II-6 had a third child, what is the probability that it would have
hairy toes? (enter as a fraction in lowest terms)
