2. How many of their female children will be carriers?

Hi,

We help with homework but we won't do it with you.

Genetic inheritance can be tricky. Please review your text about this and try to come back at your questions. If you're still stuck, explain what you don't understand and we can help.

(I have a university minor in biology which includes high level genetics courses. I can help, I am just not going to give you answers because if I did then you would learn NOTHING).
