Dentinogenesis imperfect, Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a | Quick Homework Help

1) Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a tooth disorder involving the production of dentin sialophosphorprotein, a bone-like component of the protective miIDle layer of teeth. The trait is inherited as an autosomal (i.e. traits are inherited regardless of the sex) dominant allele located on chromosome 4 in humans and occurs in about 1 in 8000 people. Assume that a man withDentinogenesis imperfect, whose father had the disease but whose mother had normal teeth, married a woman with normal teeth. They have three children.

(a) Estimate the probability that their first child will be a male with Dentinogenesis imperfect? (b) What is the probability that two of his children will have the disease?
