What is the probability of tossing a coin and getting heads five times in a row?
Suppose in outer space there exist creatures in which blue antennas (B) are dominant over yellow antennas (b). Two creatures with blue antenna mate and have seven offspring. Five of the offspring have blue antenna and two have yellow antenna. What are the probable genotypes of the parents and offspring?

(1/2)^5 = 1/32

the parents must be heterozygotes (Bb)
the two that have yellow antenna are bb
the five that have blue antenna can be BB or Bb
