Answer #1

There are two possibilities to this answer.

First, let us consider the trait to be autosomal recessive, the diseased allele would be aa. Since out of 4 progeny, two are showing recessive allele then one of the parent must be recessive i.e aa and the other must be heterozygote i.e Aa.

Second, let us consider the trait to be autosomal dominant, where the diseased allele would be Aa or AA. In that case, one of the parents would be Aa and the other would be aa for the pedigree to fit.
