proposed marriage to a nonpolydactylous, astigmatic, blue-eyed, and curly-haired lady whose mother has normal vision. However, the lady is worried about the proposal since sickle-cell anemia has been known to run in both their families. If it turned out that the lady is a carrier and the man has normal RBC, what would be their COMPLETE genotypes? Based on their genotypes, what is the probability that they would have: 1. nonpolydactylous child with normal vision? 2. polydactylous, astigmatic child and sickle-trait carrier? 3. a boy with his father’s genotype? 4. a girl with her mother’s genotype?
