Answer:

The chances are 100 percent for the three children

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, it is obvious that both Matthew and Jane are achondroplastic dwarfs. This implies that they are both carriers of the dominant traits. Hence the chances that their third child will be an achondroplastic dwarf is 100 percent because Matthew and Jane both carry dominant genes.
