1. Determine the ultimate effect in an XY human with its SRY gene mutated?

2. In humans, the allele for brown eye (B) is dominant to blue (b) eye color. If two heterozygous parents produce children, what is the probability that:

a. The first child has brown eyes, and the next two children have blue eyes?

b. If the couple above eventually produces a total of six children, what is the probability that three of them will be boys with brown eyes, and three of them girls with blue eyes?

Man #1 = type A

Man #2 = type B

Man #3 = type O

Man #4 = type AB
