Wild-type giraffes have long necks. Below is a pedigree of a family of giraffes that has a history of neckless disease. This autosomal recessive disorder causes a giraffe to have little or no neck. What is the probability that the male giraffe with the question mark (?) in the third generation will have neckless disease? There are no new mutations in this family. ?
