How does probability help explain the results of a genetic cross?
Genetics often involves dominant and recessive alleles. For instance, blue eyes are recessive and brown eyes are dominant.1 Each parent contributes one allele. If you get two blues, then your eyes are blue. If you get one or two browns, then you eyes are brown. That means that, given a random contribution from your parents, you have a 25% probability of blue eyes. It also means that, even though you have brown eyes, you could be carrying the blue allele, and two parents with brown eyes could have a blue eyed child. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1Its more complicated than that, since eye color is actually polygenic, involving more than one allele. This example was simplified to answer the question.
Five women live together in an apartment Two have blue eyes If two of the women are chosen at random what is the probability that they both have blue eyes?
well lets look at the probability on your first pick you will get a blue eyed girl 2 have blue out of 5, so yo uhave a 2/5 chance, or 40% on your second pick, there are 4 girls left, and one of them will have blue eyes now 1 have blue out of 4, so 1/4 or 25% so you multiply the two probabilities to get your final sequential probability 2/5 * 1/4 find a common denominattor, for this we will use 20 8/20 * 5/20 = 40/400 simplify it you get 1/10 0.10, or 10% chance
When drawing a card randomly from a deck what is the probability that it will be either a heart or a one-eyed jack?
The probability of drawing a heart is 1/4 or 25% (i.e., 13 of 52 cards). According to Wikipedia*, the one-eyed jacks are jack of spades and jack of hearts. The probability of drawing jack of spades is 1/52 (one card of 52). Therefore drawing either a heart (including the jack of hearts) OR jack of spades is (13/52 + 1/52) = 14/52 = 7/26 = 0.269 Just under 27 percent. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-eyed_jack#One-eyed_Royals

If 2 people out of 5 are left-handed and if 1 out of 4 of those of those have blue eyes and 5 out of 8 of those are women how many blue-eyed left-handed women are there out of a total of 3200?
2/5 x 1/4 x 5/8 x 3200 = 200 of the people.
Does having a green eyed mother and blue eyed father make a child with blue eyes?
A green eyed mother and a blue eyed father can have a child with blue eyes.
What are the chances of a brown eyed mother and a green eyed father having a blue eyed child?
its impossible
Does having a green brownish eyed mother and blue eyed father make a blue eyed child?
If a child has a mother with green brownish eyes, also known as hazel, and a blue eyed father, the child could have hazel or blue eyes depending on what the dominant genes are.
Can a baby have brown eyes if the mother has brown eyes but the recessive gene for blue eyes and the father has blue eyes?
Eye color is actually not controlled by straight Mendellian genetics. However, based on your question, the probability of a brown eyed child would be 50% and the probability of a blue eyed child would be 50%.
Can a blue eyed male with both his parents having blue eyes marries a brown eyed female with her mother having blue eyes and her father having brown eyes could they have a brown eyed child?
Yes. Brown is dominant for eye color.
Can a brown-eyed father and a blue-eyed mother have a blue-eyed child?
yes, but rarely.
What the percentage of a blue eyed man n a brown eyed women having a blue eyed child?
idk but we learned this n science BUT WAS I PAYING ATTENTION lol good luck thats a hard question...
Can a blue eyed man and a brown eyed woman make a blue eyed baby?
Yes. The woman can be heterogeneous non-blue. That means she carries a blue eyed gene and a non-blue eyed gene. The blue eyed is normally recessive so he carries both blue eye genes and doesn't carry a non-blue gene.If two blue eyed parents have a child then the child will be blue eyed.
Can a blue eyed mother and a hazel eyed father have bright blue eyed child?
Yes it is possibe
Is it possible to have a blue eyed child if one of the parents has hazel eyes but both parents have the blue eyed gene?
yes it is and if they both have the blue eyed gene then the child should have blue eyes
Can someone with brown eyes and one with green eyes have a blue eyed child?
It is possible for a child with a brown-eyed parent and a green-eyed parent to have blue eyes if there is the trait for blue eyes in the child's genetics. Such as a grandparent with blue eyes.
Can a green eyed mother and blue eyed father have a brown eyed child?
Yes
