In couples where each person is heterozygous for the sickle-cell gene, there is a probability of
0.25 that a child of the couple will actually have the disease, and a probability of 0.75 that a child
will not have the disease.
For a family with 6 children in which both parents are heterozygous, what is the probability that
none of the 6 children have the disease?

In couples where each person is heterozygous for the sickle-cell gene-.docx

  • 1. In couples where each person is heterozygous for the sickle-cell gene, there is a probability of 0.25 that a child of the couple will actually have the disease, and a probability of 0.75 that a child will not have the disease. For a family with 6 children in which both parents are heterozygous, what is the probability that none of the 6 children have the disease?
