Mohamed is a carrier for diastrophic dysplasia, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Mohamed also has a mutation in one copy of his APC gene. Mutations in the APC gene predispose a person to colon cancer, and colon cancer is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. His chromosome 5 pair looks like this: SLC26A2 АРС d Chromosome 5 inherited from his father D Chromosome 5 inherited from his mother Recombination or crossing-over between the SLC26A2 gene and the APC gene occurs 10% of the time. What is the probability of Mohamed producing a DQ gamete (sperm)?
