Assume that these outcomes are equally likely. b. What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the blue/blue genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have green eye color? a. List the possible outcomes. O A. green/blue and blue/green O B. green/green, green/blue, blue/green, and blue/blue OC. green/green and blue/blue O D. green/green, green/blue, and blue/blue (…..) b. The probability that a child of these parents will have the blue/blue genotype is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. The probability that the child will have green eye color is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
