Title: Calculating probabilities in pedigrees
Post by: Yaday on Apr 22, 2014
Part D - Calculating probabilities in pedigrees
The pedigree from Part C is shown below.

Individuals III-3 and III-4 are expecting their first child when they become aware that they both have a family history of this recessive condition. As their genetic counselor, you can calculate the probability that they are carriers and that their child will be affected with the condition.
Complete each statement by dragging the correct label to the appropriate location. Labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all.
