Answer 1

Answer:

A. Their genotype is Ee.

B. They have a 25% or 1 out of 4 chance of having an offspring with emerald eyes.

A. If one of the babies has emerald eyes, it means it has 2 recessive alleles. so, its genotype is ee. If the parents have diamond eyes, they have to have at least one dominant allele, but they cannot have 2 dominant alleles because one of their offspring have diamond eyes. So, their genotype is Ee.

B. The parents have a 25% or 1 out of 4 chance of having an offspring with emerald eyes, and 75% or 3 out of 4 chance of having offspring with diamond eyes.
