Being born with six fingers is actually a dominant trait and the probability of the children would be 75% with six

fingers and 25% with five fingers if both parents were heterozygous for that trait. If both parents were homozygous dominant for that trait then there is a 100% probability of the children being born with six fingers.

It will depend on the genotype of the parents.

If both parents have the same genotype, say BB - then all of their children should also be BB.

If both parents are heterozygous, Bb - then 50% of their children should also be heterozygous (Bb), 25% BB and 25% bb.

If one parent is BB and the other bb - then all of their children will be heterozygous (Bb).

If the trait for six fingers is dominant then the odds are 3/4, if the trait is recessive then the odds are 1/4
