Answer:

Peanut allergy

Explanation:

Peanut allergy is a food allergy caused by peanuts. It is caused due to immune system's type I hypersensitivity reaction. Dendritic cells recognize peanut allergens as foreign pathogens. Immunoglobulin E acts to release histamine from mast cells which causes the symptoms of allergy.

The symptoms include hives, itchiness, vomiting, diarrhea etc. In severe cases asthma like symptoms develop, blood pressure drops and cardiac arrest might occur. Allergic exposure can occur via ingestion and also via skin contact or inhalation of peanut allergens.

In humans, a type of blindness is due to a dominant allele; normal vision is the result of a recessive allele. Migraine headache
yan [13]

Answer:

Yes.

Probability of such child = 1/2 or 50%

Explanation:

According to the question, below are the genotypes and phenotypes possibilities:

aa = normal vision & no headache

Aa = normal vision & no headache

AA = blindness & headache

                                                                      Male                       Female

                                                                        Aa                            aa

Possible genotypes of progeny:            Aa        Aa           aa         aa

So it is clear that out of the 4 probable children, 2 with 'genotype aa' will have normal vision & no headache.

Mathematical expression is as under:

2/4 = 1/2 that means 50% progeny.
