Question

In dogs, brown fur color (B) is dominant to white (b). A cross is made between two heterozygous brown dogs. If a litter of puppies from these parents contains 5 puppies, what is the probability that 3 out of the 5 will be white? (Note, this is an unordered outcome and each puppy is independently fertilized).  Give your answer as a percentage (do NOT type the % sign). Type only the number rounded to the nearest whole percentage point (thus your answer should be a whole number with no decimal). There is a range of accepted answers so you do not have to worry about rounding variabilities.

Explanation / Answer

0.09375

Probability for 5 offsprings:-1/2×1/2×1/2×1/2×1/2=1/32

For white:-3/32=0.09375
