There are two traits not shown in the pedigree: albinism (autosomal recessive) and Marfan syndrome (autosomal dominant). Along with the trait Cai inherited shown in the pedigree, he is also a carrier for albinism, but does not have Marfan syndrome. Seema is also a carrier for albinism and has Marfan syndrome, which she inherited from her father (her mother did not have Marfan). What is the probability their child will be affected by either the trait in the pedigree, OR by albinism and Marfan syndrome? NOTE: Consider all three traits while solving this problem!

There are two traits not shown in the pedigree: albinism (autosomal recessive) and Marfan
syndrome (autosomal dominant). Along with the trait Cai inherited shown in the pedigree,
he is also a carrier for albinism, but does not have Marfan syndrome. Seema is also a carrier
for albinism and has Marfan syndrome, which she inherited from her father (her mother did
not have Marfan). What is the probability their child will be affected by either the trait in
the pedigree, OR by albinism and Marfan syndrome? NOTE: Consider all three traits while
solving this problem!
