Eye Color Genetics: Predicting Baby's Eye Color - Probability & Genotypes
Possible Genotypes:
Grandfather 1: Bb (since he has blue eyes)
Grandfather 2: Bb (since he also has blue eyes)
Parents:
Father: Bb (since his parent have blue eyes)
Mother: Gg Bb (since she has green eyes and brown eyed parents)
Possible Offspring:
BBGG: Brown eyes
BBGg: Brown eyes
BG GG: Green eyes
BG Gg: Green eyes
BBGg: Brown eyes
BBgg: Brown eyes
BGGg: Green eyes
BG gg: Green eyes
Calculating Probability:
Probability of brown eyes = (BBGG + BBGg + BBGg + BBgg) / 8 = 2/8 = 1/4
Probability of green eyes = (BG GG + BG Gg + BGGg + BG gg) / 8 = 6/8 = 3/4
Therefore, the chances of a baby having brown eyes are 1/4, while the chances of having green eyes are 3/4.
