Dominant versus Recessive Traits
An individual's genetic makeup is determined by the genes obtainedform each parent. For very genetic trait, each parent possesses agene pair, and each parent contributes one-half of this gene pair,with equal probability, to his or her offspring, forming a new genepair. The offspring's traits (eye color, baldness, etc.) come fromthis new gene pair, each gene of which possesses somecharacteristic.
For the gene pair that determines eye color, each gene trait may beone of two types: dominant brown (B) or recessive blue (b). Aperson possessing the gene pair BB or Bb has brown eyes, whereasthe gene pair bb produces blue eyes.

a. Suppose both parents of an individual are brown eyed, each witha gene pair of type Bb. What is the probability that a randomlyselected child of this couple will have blue yes?

b. If one parent has brown eyes, type Bb, and the other has blueeyes, what is the probability that a randomly selected child ofthis couple will have blue eyes?

c. Suppose one parent is brown eyed with a gene pair of typeBB. What is the probability that a child has blue eyes? c. Suppose one parent is brown eyed with a gene pair of typeBB. What is the probability that a child has blue eyes?
