Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the b-globin gene.Heterozygotes for the Hbs disease allele have someprotection from malaria relative to wild-type, but Hbshomozygotes rarely live to produce offspring. 50 individualshomozygous for the normal (non-disease) allele produced a total of47 children. 50 heterozygous individuals produced a total of 55children. 50 Hbs homozygous individuals produced a totalof 0 children. What is the average fitness per individualof the heterozygotes? What is the relative fitness of thehomozygous normal individuals?

Cystic fibrosis in an autosomal recessive disease in humans. Mr. and Mrs. Doe are both heterozygous for a low penetrance disease allele, CFTR Arg117His. The estimated penetrance of the disease is 10%. What is the likelihood that their first child will not be affected?

The answer is 97.5% but I do not understand how. Please show me!
