This practice exam contains 51 multiple choice questions, approximately the same number of questions as on the real exam. You will have 110 minutes to complete the exam. Generation iii: a and d, a, b, and c, b, c, and e, a, b, c, d, and e, none of above, a mule is the f1 offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Mules are almost always sterile, failing to make viable eggs or sperm. Donkeys have 62 chromosomes and horses have 64. It has a fan-shaped tail that is composed of 30 to 40 feathers, many more than the standard pigeon, which have 12 to 14 tail feathers. For the parental generation, a pigeon breeder breeds a pair of standard pigeons and observes the following f1 offspring: 7 fan tails and 21 standard tails. He then breeds the f1 birds in the following combinations and observes the f2 offspring:
