Question #116 deals with the probability of an offspring being heterzygous for the PKU trait (autosomal recessive disease). We already know that both the parents are heterozygous and therefore I answered 1/2 probability that the offspring would also be hetero. If we cross Pp X Pp, we get 1/2 hetero....right? However, the answer is 2/3. How can we get a 2/3 probability when there are 4 possibilities? Thanks in advance
