Answer:

There's 25% probability that their next child will be normal, and 75% of it being a dwarf.

Explanation:

Achondroplasia (A) is a dominant trait.

Two achondroplastic dwarfs (A_ x A_) have a dwarf child (A_) and a normal child (aa). The second child must be aa because if it had a dominant allele it would also be dwarf.

The only way for two achondroplastic parents to have a normal child is that <u>they are both heterozygous (Aa) for this gene.</u>

The cross Aa x Aa would produce the following offspring probabilities:

  • 1/4 AA - dwarf
  • 2/4 Aa - dwarf
  • 1/4 aa - normal

So there's 1/4=25% probability that their next child will be normal, and 3/4=75% of it being a dwarf.
