In a certain species of rats, black dominates over brown. Suppose that a black rat with two black parents has a brown sibling.

(a) What is the probability that this rat is a pure black rat (as opposed to being a hybrid with one black and one brown gene)?


(b) Suppose that when the black rat is mated with a brown rat, all 5 of their offspring are black. Now what is the probability that the rat is a pure black rat?
