2 answers:
<span>B) 50% The reason for this is because if the mother and the father, one is infected, and the other not, then it would be a 50/50 chance. </span>
B)50%
Explaination:
The child receives 23 chromosomes from each parent because the child required 46 chromosomes. Each parent also gives genetic information to the child (DNA) . Therefore, if one parent is sickly and the other is not, there is a 50/50 chance that the child could get sick or not.
