Please answer all the questions correctly and in details. 1. Assuming that no other African American immigrate to the island, CALCULATE the probability that a great granchild of this male will have polydactyly and BRIEFLY EXPLAIN your answer and PLEASE DRAW A PEDIGREE TO HELP FIGURE THIS OUT
Polydactyly is a rare dominant trait found frequently in people of African American
descent in which the hand has one or more extra fingers. A male with polydactyly,
who has a mother with non-polydactyly, moves to an island that is inhibited by
people who are not of African American descendant. Assuming that no other
African American immigrate to the island, calculate the probability that a great-
grandchild of this male will have polydactyly and briefly explain your answer.
(Hint: You may want to draw a pedigree to help you figure this out.)
