Title: Part D - Adjusting probabilities based on new information
Post by: hotthot12 on Mar 30, 2014
Individual IV-3 is born as a male affected with condition B but not condition A. His parents are bred again, and an ultrasound shows that the fetus is another male. The relevant portion of the pedigree is shown below.

Use this new information to determine the parents’ genotypes (indicated by red arrows). Then calculate the probabilities that the second male offspring will have each condition.
