Math Problem Statement

Each of two parents has the genotype blond divided by brown​, 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 blond ​allele, that color will dominate and the​ child's hair color will be blond. 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 brown divided by brown ​genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have blond hair color​? Question content area bottom Part 1 a. List the possible outcomes.
