Answer :
The probability that their first child will have kidney disease is 1/8.
What is probability?
The proportion of favorable cases to all possible cases is used to determine how likely an event is to occur.
Here, we have
Both parents must be heterozygous to have a 1/4 chance of having an
affected child. Parent 2 is heterozygous (her father was homozygous recessive, but she has unaffected).
For the child to have the disease, both Parent 1 and Parent 2 would need to be heterozygous
There is a 50% chance of this for Parent 1 and a 100% chance of this for Parent 2 and then, there is a 25% chance that their first child will be affected:
50%× 100% × 25% = 12.5%
1/2 × 1/4 = 1/8
Hence, the probability that their first child will have kidney disease is 1/8.
