Answer #1

Answer 23: “C” the disease is recessive and autosomal linked

Explanation: As male and female offsprings are affected equally , it is not a sex linked disease.Since both the parents are not affected by the disease but are able to pass on the allele to the offsprings means the allele is recessive.Hence the disease is recessive and autosomal linked.

Answer 24: “B” 25%

If the affected female marries a heterozygous male, the allele from the parents will be passed on to the next generation. Offsprings in this case will be the carriers of the disease or affected individuals as shown in the pedigree. Hence if there is marriage between 1 and 2 who must be the carriers of the disease then atleast one of the offsprings will show the disease out of four. The probability of the child being affected is 25%
