The mini-pedigree below illustrates a pair of expectant parents. One of them is
heterozygous for a dominant allele causing a fully penetrant, autosomal trait
(filled square). The other is unaffected and lacks the dominant allele (open circle).
The unborn child of this couple is represented by the diamond; the child's
phenotype is not yet known. A SNP locus 10 map units from the gene
determining this trait has 3 alleles: A, G and C; the genotype of each individual
for this SNP is shown below their pedigree symbol. If the G allele of the SNP
locus is on the same chromosome as the dominant trait allele in the affected
parent, what is the probability that the child will eventually express the trait?
