Question

If parents with genotypes gg have one child with a recessive genetic disorder, gg, what is the chance that their second child will develop the genetic disorder?

Answer 1

When the parents have recessive genetic disorder with the genotype gg, there are 100% chances that their second child will develop the disorder.

Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual. It tells about the set of alleles a person exhibits for a particular trait. Recessive genetic disorder is an autosomal kind of disorder in which both the alleles inherited from the parents should be recessive. Sickle cell disease is an example of recessive genetic disorder.

When both parents are recessive for a trait, only one type of gamete is formed that can give rise to offspring with only the homozygous recessive trait.
