Question 6: If individuals IV-4 and IV-5 mate and have a child, what is the probability that the child will have the genetic condition? Assume people mating into the pedigree do not carry the abnormal allele unless information given in the pedigree suggests otherwise. Write the probability as a fraction without any spaces, answers given as a decimal will be marked incorrect. (For example write your answer as 5/72 – note that is NOT the correct answer).

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.
