The likelihood that the first two offspring of the cross will have congenital analgesia would be 1/16

<h2>Autosomal Recessive Traits</h2>

For autosomal recessive traits, two recessive alleles are needed for the trait to manifest while one recessive allele means heterozygosity.

In this case, let us assume that congenital analgesia is represented by the allele b; heterozygous individuals will, thus, be Bb.

            Bb    x    Bb

          BB   Bb   Bb   bb

Probability of producing unaffected offspring = 3/4

Probability of producing affected offspring = 1/4

Likelihood of the first two offspring having congenital analgesia = probability of first having congenital analgesia and the second having congenital analgesia

    = 1/4 x 1/4

        = 1/16

“An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.”
