Six peas are generated from parents having the​ green/yellow pair of​ genes, so there is a 0.75 probability that an individual pea will have a green pod. Find the probability that among the 6 offspring​ peas, no more than no more than 1 has ahas a green pod. Is it unusual to get no more than no more than 1 pea with a green pod when 6 offspring peas are​ generated? Why or why​ not?

Let X be number of peas has a green pod. Then X ~ Binomial (n = 6, p = 0.75)

Probability that among the 6 offspring​ peas, no more than no more than 1 has ahas a green pod = P(X 1)

= P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

= 6C0 * 0.750 * (1 - 0.75)6-0 +  6C1 * 0.751 * (1 - 0.75)6-1

= 0.0002441406 + 0.004394531

= 0.004638672

Since the probability that among the 6 offspring​ peas, no more than no more than 1 has ahas a green pod is very low (less than 0.01), it is unusual to get no more than no more than 1 pea with a green pod when 6 offspring peas are​ generated.

Probability and Genetics Lab In heredity, we are concerned with the occurrence, every time an egg is fertilized, of the probability that a particular gene or chromosome will be passed on through the egg, or through the sperm, to the offspring. As you know, genes and chromosomes are present in pairs in each individual, and segregate as they go into the gametes (egg and sperm). There are two possible genes (alleles) that the egg or sperm might obtain from each...

Simple Dominance with 2 genes A gene in cats causes them to be black (dominant) or brown (recessive). A second gene causes cats to be agouti (have stripes on their hairs) or non-agouti (solid colored hairs). If you did a dihybrid cross between two black haired agouti cats, what fraction of the offspring would be expected to have each phenotype? If a dihybrid black agouti cat mated with a brown cat that was heterozygous for the agouti gene, what fraction...
