a. What is the probability that a randomly sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant?
b. What is the probability that a randomly sampled individual, gene 2 is dominant?
c. Given that gene 1 is dominant, what is the probability that gene 2 is dominant?

(d) Yes. P(Gene 2 dominant|Gene 1 dominant) = P(Gene 2 dominant)
