Grandson has 25% chance to inherit genes from his grandfather. so he has 50% chance to be carrier.

Aa--------AA(1st generation)

Aa-----------(2nd generation)

AA(third generation)...how does the probability flow..first will have 25%,2nd will have 50%,third will have 75%?????sad

kaplan says grand father=1/2

father=1/4

grand son=1/8????

It's for autosomal recessive.

If We calculate from grandfather generation, the probability of this generation is always=100%

If grandfather = 1/2, there will be generations above grandfather (grand-grandfather)
