#Question id: 3252

 The unaffected brother of a cystic fibrosis affected girl is referred for genetic counseling. Assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Which of the following is correct?  (Cystic fibrosis is an autosomes recessive inheritance with an incidence of 1 in 2500).

#Section 3: Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology

  1. The probability that the brother is a carrier is 1/2)

  2. If the brother has a child with a healthy unrelated partner the probability that the child will be affected is 1 in 150.

  3. If the brother has a child with his first cousin the probability that the child will be affected is 1 in 12)

  4. If the affected sister has a child with her first cousin the probability that the child will be affected is 1 in 4)
