Black skin color is dominant to pink skin color in pigs Two
Black skin color is dominant to pink skin color in pigs. Two heterozygous black pigs are crossed.
If these pigs produce a total of three piglets, what is the probability that one will be pink and two will be black?
Solution
Answer:
Let, Black = B and Pink = b
So, the cross Bb * Bb = BB, Bb, Bb, bb
Therefore, probability of black = 3 / 4
probability of pink = 1 / 4
A total of three piglets are produced. The probability that one will be pink and two will be black can be calculated as under:
Probability = 1/4 * 3/4 * 3/4
= 9/64
= 14.0625 %
