The chances of having a boy for the second, third or subsequent child are the same, regardless of whether the first child was a boy or girl.

Slightly more girls than boys are born, so, strictly speaking, the chance of having a son is never 50/50.

Yes, the sex of each child is independent of the other. So, the second child of parents who already have a son has an equal chance of being either a boy or a girl.

If parents who already have a son decide to have a second child it will have an equal chance of being either sex?

Yes, each child's sex is determined independently, so having a son previously does not affect the probability of having a son or daughter in the future. The chance of having a son or daughter each time is about 50%.


The offspring of two parents that are heterozygous for a given trait have a percent chance of being homozygous for that trait?

There is a 25% chance (1 in 4) that the offspring will be homozygous for the trait. This is because when both parents are heterozygous (Aa), they can pass on either the dominant allele (A) or the recessive allele (a) to their offspring, resulting in a 1 in 4 chance of the offspring receiving the recessive allele from both parents and becoming homozygous (aa) for that trait.


Ifa woman and man both have brown eyes but their first child has blue eyes what are the chances that their second child will have blue eyes?

If both parents have brown eyes, it means they both carry the dominant brown eye color gene. However, if their first child has blue eyes, it indicates that both parents carry the recessive blue eye color gene. The chances of their second child having blue eyes would be 25%, as both parents would have to pass on the recessive gene for blue eyes.
