The probability that a parent carrying a dominant trait will pass that trait on is a 50% chance with each pregnancy

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.

The chance of the child having schizophrenia when both parents have schizophrenia is about 37%. There is no data available for other combinations of illnesses, for example if one parent has schizoaffective disorder and the other has schizophrenia.

No probability. Neither parent has an "A" for the child to inherit to make an "AB".
The probability of a child having wet earwax depends on the genetics of the parents. Wet earwax is typically governed by a dominant allele, while dry earwax is recessive. If both parents have wet earwax (and are either homozygous or heterozygous), the child will likely inherit the wet earwax trait. However, if one parent has dry earwax, the probability varies based on the genetic makeup of both parents.
The chance that any child will inherit the dominant allele in this scenario is 50%. If one parent does not carry the allele, they can only pass on the recessive allele. The parent who is heterozygous for the dominant allele can pass on either the dominant or recessive allele, resulting in a 50% chance for each allele to be inherited by the child.
The dominant parent is most likely homozygous dominant, and the recessive parent has only the homozygous genotype. So the dominant parent can pass on only dominant alleles for this trait, and the recessive parent can pass on only recessive alleles for this trait. So all of the offspring would be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
Assuming that each parent is a carrier for cystic fibrosis (has the genotype Ff), the probability that their second child will develop cystic fibrosis is one fourth. The probability doesn't change with the number of children they have. For each pregnancy, the chance that the child will have cystic fibrosis (have the genotype ff) is exactly the same.
With a dihybrid cross, there are 9 possible genotypes and 4 possible phenotypes. The ratio of phenotypes expected is 9 LR : 3 Lr : 3 lR : 1 lr. The probability of a homozygous dominant for both traits is 1/16 or 6%. The probability of having a dominant phenotype for both traits is 9/16 or 56%. 9/16 is roughly equal to 3/5 - so this is the expected ratio.
Transmitted by a dominant gene. If that gene is inherited from either parent, the offspring will develop HD. If the gene is NOT inherited, then the offspring will not have HD- AND cannot pass the gene to their offspring.
A child gets half of its DNA from each parent. This is why you can see characteristics of both parents in a child. --truckbroker-- More importantly, some traits are recessive in the parent. Or dominant in a dominant recessive trait. In which they may skip generations.
The dominant trait for eye color in humans is brown, which means that if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes, the child is more likely to inherit brown eyes due to the dominant trait.
It depends on the two alleles the man carries; if he is carrying HH- it is a 100% chance, because HD is autosomal dominant. If his allele is Hh, it is a 50% chance.
No. A and B are dominant blood types and O is recessive. A parent with blood type AB can only donate a dominant A or dominant B. A child with blood type O would need to come from parents with one of the following combinations: A-A, A-B, A-O, B-O, O-O
