parents Imagine two heterozygous for cystic fibrosis come to ask you about the probability of their children having cystic fibrosis (a homozygous recessive disorder only). What is the probability if: a) If they have one child; he has cystic fibrosis? b) They have 3 children; 1 has cystic fibrosis, and 2 do not? c) If they have 5 children; 4 have cystic fibrosis, and 1 does not. d) If they have 8 children; 3 have cystic fibrosis, and 5 do not.
