Question

Each of two parents has the genotype brown/red​, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine hair color​, and each parent contributes one of those alleles to a child. Assume that if the child has at least one brown ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's hair color will be brown. 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 red/red ​genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have brown hair color​? a. List the possible outcomes.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. In image attached.

b. 25% or a 1 in 4 chance.

c. 75% or a 3 in 4 chance.

Explanation:

B = Dominant (brown gene)

r = Recessive (red gene)

If two parents both have Br genes, they will both have brown hair.
