Fitz was found to be a carrier for the deltaF508 mutation in cystic fibrosis (autosomal recessive). His wife, Oliva, screens negative for cystic fibrosis mutations. The carrier frequency in Olivia’s ethnic group is 1/60, and you know that this carrier screening only identifies 80% of mutations in her ethnic group. The couple has one child without cystic fibrosis, what is the risk for their next child to have cystic fibrosis? 1/1577 1/1184 1/296 Need answer in short and ASAP .

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.
