25% would have tay-sachs disease, 25% normal, 50% carriers
Answer:
28 units
Explanation:
This disorder follows quantitative inheritance. It is controlled by three genes which do not show the usual dominant-recessive relationship . The six alleles individually contribute to the effect which add up to produce the cumulative phenotype. Dominant allele contributes 6 units of risk whereas recessive allele contributes 2 units of risk.
Individual with genotype AABbCc has four dominant alleles (AABC) and two recessive alleles (bc). So their total risk units =
(6*4) + (2*2) = 24 + 4
= 28 units
