Bb = brown hair phenotype
bb = black hair phenotype
we see that B = brown hair is the dominant gene while b = black hair is the recessive gene
----------------------------------
ll = short hair, this is a lowercase L
Ll = long hair
In this case, l = short hair is the recessive gene while L = long hair is the dominant gene.
----------------------------------
Check out the diagram below to see the dihybrid crosses for each of the hair color and hair length genotypes. From there, I show all of the genotypes possible for any offspring. Those genotypes are
- LlBb = long brown hair (comes up 4 times)
- Llbb = long black hair (comes up 4 times)
- llBb = short brown hair (comes up 4 times)
- llbb = short black hair (comes up 4 times)
-----------------------------------
If we are talking about 1 offspring, then it is not possible for him/her to have both "long black hair AND short brown hair" as the instructions state. So let's consider two offspring instead.
The probability of having long black hair is 4/16 = 1/4 as there are 4 cases of Llbb out of 16 cases total. Similarly, the probability of getting llBb is 4/16 = 1/4 as well, for pretty much the same reasons.
The probability of having both events occur is (1/4)*(1/4) = 1/16
The multiplication of probabilities is valid because the two events are independent.

<h3>Final Answer: A) 1/16</h3>
