Each of two parents has the genotype bluegreen which consist

Each of two parents has the genotype blue/green, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine eye color, and each parent contributes one of those alleles to a child. Assume that if the child has at least one blue allele, that color will dominate and the child\'s eye color will be blue.

a.?List the different possible outcomes. Assume that these outcomes are equally likely.

b.?What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the green/green genotype?

c.?What is the probability that the child will have blue eye color?

a.?List the possible outcomes. A. blue/blue, blue/green, green/blue, and green/green

B. blue/blue and green/green

C. blue/blue, blue/green, and green/green

D. blue/green and green/blue

b. The probability that a child of these parents will have the?

green/green genotype is?

____

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

c. The probability that the child will have blue eye color is?

___

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Solution

(a) A. blue/blue, blue/green, green/blue, and green/green

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)The probability that a child of these parents will have the green/green genotype is

1/4=0.25

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)The probability that the child will have blue eye color is

3/4 =0.75
