In aliens, the genes A, B, C, D and E are dominant to their respective alleles a, b, c, d and e: A = one eye a = two eyes B = pointed ears b = round ears C = red skin c = green skin D = two antennae d = three antennae E = square head e = triangular head An alien with genotype AA bb Cc dd Ee marries an alien with genotype Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee. If the genes segregate independently, what is the probability that they will have a child with one eye, pointed ears, red skin, three antennae and a triangular head?
