Genetics question...help please!?

I believe this is homework you should be doing yourself, so just to make sure I'm not lying to you, you better check my work yourself. The woman would be Pp, her father Pp and his mother pp. The woman's mother could be pp or Pp. Her children would have a 1 in 2 chance of being afflicted. That doesn't mean every other one would, in reality maybe all would or none would. Just a roll of the dice every time. For instance, you can flip a coin and there's a 50-50 chance of it landing on heads. You can flip heads 99 times and on the 100th flip, you still have a 50-50 chance of getting heads. What happened on the previous 99 flips has absolutely no bearing or effect on the 100th flip.
