Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

1-Mother:

The probability to pass the disorder to her progeny is: 1 x 1/2 = 1/2

Father:

2-The probability to pass the disorder to his progeny is: 1 x 1/2 = 1/2

Therefore, the probability to have the disorder is equal to the product of both independent events, i.e., 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 or 25%
