1. Mary and Joe are both healthy individuals. Joe has a mother who suffered from cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive disorder. Mary has been genetically tested in order to find out if she has the allele responsible for this disease and her tests came out positive. They are planning on having two children together in the near future. What is the probability that she and Joe will have either 2 boys who have the disorder, OR that they have one boy who has the disorder and one boy who does not? (in other words, what is the probability that any of these two outcomes takes place? a) 1/8 b) 1/16 c) 3/32 d) 1/64 e) 9/64

3. Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant condition in humans. The disease is often not diagnosed until adulthood, sometimes after the person has had children (and possibly passed the Huntington's allele to their children). People with Huntington's disease are usually heterozygous and not homozygous dominant. Assume that a person with Huntington's disease has a child with a person who does not have Huntington's disease. What is the probability that the child will have Huntington's disease? Support your answer with a Punnett square (on next page). 1
