Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
The autosomal recessive disorder occurs when both the copies (alleles) of a gene are defective. E.g. Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder.
Thalassemia occurs by the mutation in the genes that make haemoglobin present in the red blood cells. It is an inherited autosomal recessive blood disorder . It leads to the weakening and destruction of red blood cells. It involves formation of abnormal form of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Let us take both the parents as carriers for this disease. The genotype of carrier parents will be Aa and Aa. The cross between them can be depicted as:
Parents Aa x Aa
(Carrier man) (carrier woman)
Gametes A, a A, a
Progeny AA Aa Aa aa
(Unaffected) (Carrier) (Carrier) (Affected)
Hence, if both the parents are carriers for thalessemia, then 25% new born children will be unaffected, 50% will be carriers and 25% will be affected.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
