The following diagram shows the genetic map of an individual in the region of a gene that has a dominant allele D which causes Marfan's syndrome. The DNA probe hybridizes to a segment of DNA that is known to be about 4 map D d units away from the D/d gene. probe If this person has a child with a normal individual who has been shown to be homozygous for the short DNA fragment and the child is also heterozygous DNA restriction fragments, what is the likelihood that the child will have have Marfan's syndrome?

which causes Marfan's syndrome. The DNA probe hybridizes to a segment of DNA that is known to be about 4 map
d
units away from the D/d gene.

If this person has a child with a normal individual who has been shown to be homozygous for the short DNA
fragment and the child is also heterozygous DNA restriction fragments, what is the likelihood that the child will have
have Marfan's syndrome? ( Please express your answer as a percentage.)
