Question 10

In a species of moth, wing colour is controlled by a single gene. The allele G G\,G for green wings is dominant to the allele g g\,g for grey wings.

A green-winged moth has one grey-winged parent. The green-winged moth mates with a grey-winged moth.

The inheritance of wing colour by each offspring is independent.

The pair produces four offspring.

What is the probability that at least one offspring is green-winged and at least one offspring is grey-winged?
