lucia and jared each have a sibling with cystic fibrosis, but neither lucia nor jared nor their parents have the disease. calculate the probability that if this couple has a child, the child will have cystic fibrosis. what would be the probability if a test revealed that jared is a carrier but lucia is not? explain your answers.



Answer :

The probability that a test revealed that Jared is a carrier but Lucia is not is 1/4

Mendel discovered that genes are inherited as separate, paired units, one from each parent. Its application of mathematics to illuminate observations of natural phenomena.

Given that lucia and jared each have a sibling with cystic fibrosis, but neither lucia nor jared nor their parents have the disease

Mendel theory is a technique used to estimate the probability of getting specific characteristics.

Lucia and Jared have a probability of both carrier and non carrier

If both of them are non carrier then the children born to their family have no chances of getting disease.

If any one of them is carier, then there is a chance of getting one child as a carrier. That is ¼ or the ratio is 1:4

If both of them are carriers then the ratio will be 1:2:1

If Jared is carrier then the probability will be ¼

Therefore the probability if a test revealed that jared is a carrier but lucia is not is ¼
