Lois Lane Kent's husband has passed on three unusual traits to their daughter; X-ray vision, sensitivity to kryptonite and muscles of steel. A book given to Mr. Kent by his mother states that the genes for these traits are dominant, and that the vision and muscle loci are located 16 map units apart on the same autosome, while the kryptonite locus is located on another autosome.  

Assuming that an average human male eill someday marry this "Super Girl", Lois is worried about the chances that her grandchildren will inherit the same genes that have made her daughter such a difficult child to raise. What is the possibility of Lois Lane Kent's grandchildren will have:

A) All three dominant traits

B) X-ray vision and sensitivity to kryptonite, but normal muscles?

Catherine (wife) and Peter (husband) Mallen had lived together unmarried for some four years when Catherine got pregnant and a marriage was arranged. Peter asked Catherine to sign a prenuptial agreement. Although his financial statement attached to the agreement did not state his income at $560,000 per year, it showed he was wealthy, and she had lived with him for four years and knew from their standard of living that he had significant income. Catherine contends that failure to disclose Peter’s income was a nondisclosure of a material fact when the agreement was drawn up and that accordingly the agreement is not valid. Peter contends that he fully disclosed his net worth and that Catherine was well aware of his significant income. Further, he contends that disparities in the parties’ financial status and business experience did not make the agreement unconscionable.

Please answer ALL of the following questions in your discussion:

Was the agreement obtained through fraud?

Was the agreement obtained through duress?

Was the agreement obtained through nondisclosure of material facts?

Was the agreement unconscionable?
