Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder caused by a mutation in the ATP7B gene. Individuals lacking a functional ATP7B protein accumulate too much copper in the body's tissues. Above are pedigrees from two families of which some members have Wilson's disease (these are shaded black). Neither Hillary nor Foen has Wilson's disease. If they have a child together, what is the probability that this child will have Wilson's disease?     1/4   2/3   2/5   1/9   1   3/4   1/2   1/3   4/9   1/36   1/16
