Getting the probability for each event can easily be done using Punnett Square (say, Hh x Hh for the couple since they are both carriers of the disease). Doing so will result to: 0.25 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is not a carrier of the gene, 0.50 probability of an offspring not having the disease and is a carrier of the gene, and a 0.25 probability of an offspring having the disease. The probability of these events apply to each offspring, and will not depend on how many children they want to have. This means each offspring has a 0.25-0.50-0.25 chance of not being a carrier, being a carrier, and having the disease, respectively.

What are two techniques used to restore biodiversity
Zarrin [17]

Two techniques that are used in order to restore the biodiversity are the sawing of native seeds or planting individual plants, and the reintroduction of animal species native to the ecosystem.

The restoration of the biodiversity is practically trying to get an ecosystem in its initial, pre-destruction condition, and help it function without any human assistance after certain amount of time.

All restorations of the biodiversity are hard and take time, and there's no guarantee that the outcome will be as planned and wanted. Initially, there the sawing of native seeds and planting individual plants, which is crucial as the plants are the basis of the ecosystems. After that animal species are introduced, small and large, herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores. The people initially have to assist the functioning of the ecosystem, but the idea is to make it function properly over time on its own.
