Answer: Mary's parents' genotype are Aa and AA.

Explanation: Suppose the recessive blood disorder has a genotype of aa.

Mary's husband's genotype, as he has the trait, is aa. Both of their children also have it, so they are aa as well. To have a child with this genotype, Mary must have been a carrier, so her genotype is Aa.

Now, for Mary to be a carrier and since none of her siblings has the disorder,  one of her parents must be heterozygous for the trait (Aa), while the other is homozygous for the trait (Aa).

In other words, Mary's parents' genotypes are Aa and AA.

How do you show the probability of the genotype for a male and a female if they decide to have children?
lisov135 [29]

Answer: The genotype of a female is XX while that of a male is XY. The probability of them having a male child is 1/2 while the probability of having a female child is 1/2.

Explanation: Normally, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY). In a cross between a man and a woman, there is fifty percent chances of having a female child and also fifty percent chances of having a male child. Therefore, the probability of having a female child is 1/2 while the probability of having a male child is also 1/2.
