Assignment:

In certain populations of the Jewish population (descending from Eastern Europe) there is a genetic disease called, Tay Sachs, which is caused by a recessive allele (t) and it follows a 'normal' inheritance pattern (complete dominance). Two parents who are heterozygous for the disease (meaning they don't have it) get married and have children. What is the likelihood that they will have a healthy child (carrier or non-carrier).
