Answer:

There is a 1 in 4 (25 percent) chance that the child will inherit both normal copies of a gene, and be unaffected and not a carrier. If only one parent is a carrier and the other is not, none of the children will have the condition. But each child will have a 50 percent chance of being a carrier
