Which of the following is the correct definition of a dominant allele?
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition controlled by a single gene. The dominant allele, FFF, codes for normal mucus production, while the recessive allele, fff, codes for thick, sticky mucus leading to cystic fibrosis.
Two parents who are both heterozygous for the gene (FfFfFf) have a child. Determine the probability that the child will have cystic fibrosis.
Calculate the probability that their next child will be a girl with cystic fibrosis. Use the relation: probability of a girl with cystic fibrosis=probability of cystic fibrosis×probability of being a girl\text{probability of a girl with cystic fibrosis} = \text{probability of cystic fibrosis} \times \text{probability of being a girl}probability of a girl with cystic fibrosis=probability of cystic fibrosis×probability of being a girl
