24. Assume that genes A and B are not linked. If the probability of allele A in a gamete is 1/2 and the probability of allele B in a gamete is 1/2, then the probability that both A and B are in the same gamete is (A) 1/2 x 1/2 (B) 1/2 + 1/2 (C) 1/2 1/2 (D) 1/2 (E) 1/2 x 1/2 25. A couple has 5 children, all sons. If the woman gives birth to a sixth child, what is the probability that the sixth child will be a son? (A) 5/6 (B) 1/2 (C) 1/5 (D) 1/6 (E) 1/64

FI Generation Cross
F2 Generation (at least 500 flies)
Fl red-eyed females x white-eyed males 50% of females are red-eyed and 50% are white-
eyed
50% of males are red-eyed and 50% are white-eyed
21. The best explanation for the red-eyed F1 females is
(A) mutation
(B) culture contamination
(C) dominance
(D) multiple loci
(E) sex-influenced traits
22. There are white-eyed females in the F2 generation because
(A) white is a dominant allele
(B) the white allele is autosomal
(C) a mutation has occurred
(D) these F2 females have two white alleles
(E) the white allele is located on the Y chromosome
23. Which of the following best describes the mode of inheritance of eye color in the white
culture?
(A) Autosomal
(B) Dominant
(C) Located on the Y chromosome
(D) Sex-linked
(E) Lethal
24. Assume that genes A and B are not linked. If the probability of allele A in a gamete is 1/2
and the probability of allele B in a gamete is 1/2, then the probability that both A and B
are in the same gamete is
(A) 1/2 x 1/2
(B) 1/2 + 1/2
(C) 1/2 1/2
(D) 1/2
(E) 1/2 x 1/2
