Solutions For An Introduction to Genetic Analysis Chapter 2 Problem 58P

The cross between the genotypes yields the progeny of genotypes Cc and cc. in the ratio 1:1. As it is given that the allele C causes the mice to be black, therefore, 50% of the progeny will be black in color. Thus, the probability of obtaining black progeny is.

As the genotype of each progeny is independent of other individuals, the probability of all the 10 progeny being black is.
