Suppose that extra fingers and toes are caused by a recessive trait, but it appears in only 9% of homozygous recessive individuals. Two heterozygotes conceive a child. What is the probability that this child will have extra fingers and toes? Write your answer as a frequency to the nearest 0.01.

Suppose you do a cross between two parents who are both heterozygous for two traits, such as petal shape (narrow or wide, narrow is dominant) and flower color (red or white, red is dominant). If there are 160 offspring, how many would you expect to have wide petals with red flowers?
