Biology- Probability and Punnett Squares

Show all work

Probability:

1. A couple already has two daughters.  What is the probability their third child will be a boy?


2.  What is the probability the couple will have 3 sons?

3.  What is the likelihood of a family having 6 daughters?

Punnett Squares:

4.   Nematodes( round worms) normally move in a snake-like motion. rr worms move only in circles and are called rollers.  Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring when you cross heterozygous rolling (Rr) worms with worms taht are homozygous rollers (rr).

5.  A recessive allele in tigers caused the white tiger (ww).  If two normally pigmented tigers (W) are mated and produce a white offspring, what percentage of their remaining offspring would be expected to have normal pigmentation?
