Sickle-cell anaemia is caused by mutation of the gene controlling β-chain of haemoglobin. Due to this mutation, glutamic acid present at 6th position of the β-chain is replaced by amino acid valine.

With the help of given pedigree, find out the probability for the birth of a child having no disease and being a carrier (has the disease mutation in one allele of the gene) in $F_3$ generation. 
What is the pattern of inheritance for polygenic trait?
Genes $R$ and $Y$ follow independent assortment. If RRYY produce round yellow seeds and rryy produce wrinkled green seeds, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?
