Given the parents' genotypes [Bb F1F1F1S1?F1F1F10 Bb], the only information relevant to determining the probability of having a child with the genotype [Bb] pertains to the Bb part of the genotype, as the rest of the genotype provided does not follow standard genetic notation and seems to be irrelevant or incorrectly formatted. Since both parents have the Bb genotype, there is a 1 in 2, or 50%, chance that they will pass on the B allele and the b allele to their child, resulting in a child with the Bb genotype. This is because each parent has a 50% chance of passing on either allele (B or b) to their offspring.
