In genetic counseling, it is difficult to directly test if an individual has a recessive allele that is associated with an inherited disease. However, the individual many be tested for the marker that is located at a known distance from the disease gene. It is often possible to calculate the probability that the individual possesses the disease allele. presence of a particular DNA One recessive mutation in human chromosome 12 can cause a rare disease that leads to death within the first year. This is located approximately 20 cM from the centromere. A RFLP marker is identified to gene Father Mother Sister Sister2 Sister3 Mary RFLPS be as close as 8cM to this lethal The RFLP gene. Skb markers results from the presence or absence of a BamHI restriction presence of the BamHI site results in the production of 5 kb and 3 kb restriction fragment that can be visualized on an site.

One of Mary sisters (sister1) passed away in her 6-month age. Mary is now~ about passing this recessive allele to her child. So she collected DNAS from all her families to do the RFLP test.

Question
#2.) Mary wants to further confirm if she is a carrier for this lethal gene. She was told that a new SNP marker was identified RFPL marker. She requested to do SNP test for all the DNA samples. The results are: her parents are heterozygous for SNPs (that is to say, one chromosome is wild-type and another one contains the SNP). The sister who passed away is homozygous for the SNP. Mary does not have this SNP. So now what is the probability of Mary as a carrier of the death gene?
