A disease is caused by homozygosity for the g allele (Gis the corresponding wild-type allele). However, the penetrance of the disease is 75%. Two individuals known to be heterozygotes have a child. What is the probability that the child exhibits the disease? 1/4 3/4 1/8 3/16 9/16

Shown above is a family pedigree tree in which family members afflictedwith the disease Haemophilia are shown with filled-in squares (male) or circles (females). A couple is trying to determine the likelihood of passingon the disease to their future children (represented by the ? symbolabove) because the hemophilia runs in the woman’s family.

Would this child have the disease?
