Explanation / Answer

1) in genetics, we prepare Punnett square which allows a geneticist to calculate the probability of phenotype and genotype of the offspring efficiently

2) The product rule of probability tells that to determine the chances of two independent events, such as the likelihood of inheriting certain allele, probabilities are multiplied.

3) In this problem chances of inheriting E is 50% and chances of inheriting e are 50% as well that means the chance of inheriting Ee is (50% x 50% ) = 25%.

4) the sum rule of probability state that when the same event can occur more than one way the results are added.

5) In figure, it's clear that "EE" and "ee" can occur in one way so their probability of occurrence is (50%x50%) = 25%

however, Ee can occur in two way (and we have calculated the probability of Ee occurrence in problem e as 25%)

so overall probability of Ee = 25%+25% = 50%
