Each of two parents has the genotype brown / blond, 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 brown allele, that color will dominate and the child's hair color will be brown. 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 blond / blond genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have brown hair color? a. List the possible outcomes. O A. brown / brown, brown / blond, and blond/blond O B. brown / brown, brown / blond, blond/ brown, and blond / blond O C. brown / blond and blond / brown O D. brown / brown and blond / blond b. The probability that a child of these parents will have the blond /blond genotype is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. The probability that the child will have brown hair color is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
