Part 1

If we denote a cystic fibrosis gene with a c and a disease-free gene with a C (since the disease is recessive), then only a cc person will actually have the disease. Such persons would ordinarily die before parenting children, but a child can also inherit the disease from two Cc parents (who themselves are

healthy—that

is, have no symptoms but are "carriers" of the disease).

Suppose a child is born to one cystic fibrosis carrier parent and one non-carrier parent. Find the probability that that the child will

have the

disease.
