a.
To determine:
The genotypes of the Sally, her mother, her father, and her brother when Sally's brother and his father are suffering from alkaptonuria.
Introduction:
The inheritance of traits shows patterns used for the prediction of the reappearance of the traits in the offspring. The patterns of inheritance are classified based on their relation to the autosomes or sex chromosomes and with dominant and recessive inheritance patterns.
b.
To determine:
The probability that another child of Sally' parents will have alkaptonuria.
