What is the probability that each child born to two carriers of a recessive disorder allele will have the disorder?
The child will have the disorder, only if the recessive allele from both the parents is transferred to the child. Therefore, the probability is 1/4.
What is the probability of a child being a boy?
It depends on the context: if you select a child at random from a girls' school, the probability is 0, while if it is at a boys' school it is 1!
What is the probability of two healthy people where one is a carrier being parents to a child born with cystic fibrosis?
If only one person is a carrier of cystic fibrosis than there is no chance of having a child with it. Both parents have to be carriers and even then there is only a 25% chance. If only one carries than there is a 50% chance that their children will carry but will not have cystic fibrosis.
What is the probability that the 6 child family has exactly two girls?
The probability is 2 - 6
What is the probability of having a normal child?
The probability is zero! There is no such thing as "normal". Every child (and adult) has some unique characteristics and that makes them not normal - in that respect.
What is the probability that each child born to two carriers of a recessive disorder allele will have the disorder?
The child will have the disorder, only if the recessive allele from both the parents is transferred to the child. Therefore, the probability is 1/4.
If husband and wife is AS genotype what is d probability that the first child will not be sickel cell?
First child will always prevail from being SS. Some even have AA, but most of the time. Its AS.
Probability of your first child being male?
50%

What is the probability that parents that have 2 boys and one girl will have a girl next?
There is not enough information on the propensity for the parents to have a child of either gender and so it is necessary to assume that the probability of the gender of the next child is independent of the genders of preceding children. In that case the probability of the next child being a girl is 1/2.There is not enough information on the propensity for the parents to have a child of either gender and so it is necessary to assume that the probability of the gender of the next child is independent of the genders of preceding children.

What is the probability of after six girls born the next child being a girl?
There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes. Unfortunately there is no readily available research into the genders of seven or more children to establish the experimental probability for such an outcome. However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a girl is approx 0.48, then the probability of the seventh child being a girl is 0.48.
A woman and her husband both show the normal phenotype for pigmentation but both had one parent who was an albino what is the probability that their first child will be an albino?
25%
Legally If wife has had another child while still being married and its not the husband what can be done?
Nothing. the law recognizes the legal husband as the legal father of the child.

If you and your husband are carriers of sickle cell and has has 3 kids one is a affected female one is a female carrier and one is a normal male what is the percent of having a child that develops it?
By Mendalian principle, one more child will be healthy.
A couple who are both carriers of the gene for cystic fibrosis have two children who have cystic fibrosis What is the probability that their next child will be phenotypically normal?
If both parents are carriers on cystic fibrosis, just because two children may have the disease it doesn't mean that say,a further 3 children in future will be "normal". Inheriting genes is like a lottery. I can say though that because cystic fibrosis is recessive, every offspring born under carriers will always have a 75% chance of being phenotypically normal.
If both heterozygous parents are carriers of a recessive allele for phenylketonuria the probability that a given child of these parents will have PKU is?
Pp x Pp yields PP, Pp, Pp, pp. PP is the only genotype which will cause the phenotypic expression of the gene - symptoms of PKU. Therefore the probability is 1/4 or 25%
