Q1 4.6 Inheritance, variation and evolution

Two parents are both heterozygous for a recessive condition (Aa). Assume each parent passes on either allele with equal chance. What is the probability that their child will be homozygous recessive (aa)?

  1. 0
  2. 1/4
  3. 1/2
  4. 3/4
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B. The possible genotypes are AA, Aa, Aa, and aa, so one of the four equally likely outcomes is aa.
