2) For individual III-4, one of the parents is heterozygous for the condition, so the probability of being a carrier is P2 = 1/2.
3) Now, for individual IV-1 be affected, the parents has to be carrier. So, this probability, depends on the probability of each parent being heterozygous and that the individual will be carrying the condition, which means:
P3 = 1/2 · 1/2 · 1/4 = 1/16.
The probability of having the condition is 1/16 or 6.25%.
