    Possible genetic combinations of offspring are:

    - A1A3

    - A2A3

    - A1A4

    - A2A4

    Therefore, each genotype has a probability of 1/4

    The probability of having thesame genotype the second time is 1/4 * 1/4

    = 1/16

    The probability that both offsprings will have the same genotype is 1/16
