Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a family in which a parent has cystic fibrosis (genotype ff), and the other is a carrier (genotype Ff). If they have four children, calculate the likelihood of at least one child having cystic fibrosis.

💡 Hint: Think about the probabilities of independent events.

Question 2

A researcher finds an unusual allele associated with a new autosomal recessive disorder. If two affected individuals have children with a carrier, what might this mean for the inheritance pattern?

💡 Hint: Draw a Punnett square to help clarify the inheritance.
