A man possesses one copy of an allele for an autosomal dominant genetic condition. His wife does not possess the allele. What are the chances that their first daughter would inherit the condition?
The chances that their first daughter would inherit the genetic condition would be 50%. This is because the man has one copy of the dominant allele for the condition, so there is a 50% chance that he would pass on the allele to his daughter. Since the wife does not possess the allele, she would not be able to pass it on to their daughter. Therefore, the daughter would have a 50% chance of inheriting the condition.
