Question

What is the probability of having a child with a recessive trait if both parents are heterozygous for the trait

Answer 1

If you are born to parents who both carry the same autosomal recessive gene, you have a 1 in 4 chance of inheriting the abnormal gene from both parents and developing the disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a 50% (1 in 2) chance of inheriting one abnormal gene. This would make you a carrier.
