A) The scientists in this study have correctly accused the mother.
B) A grandparent likely was heterozygous for blood type 0 (null).
C) The mutated gene was x-linked and the first child was male.
D) The first child is heterozygous for blood type 0 (null)
E) None of the above are correct.

A one-pod, wrinkled leaf à one-pod, normal leaf cross gave a progeny of 654 one-pod, normal leaf plants and 224 three-pod, normal leaf plants. What are the likely genotypes of the parents in this cross?

3.) Honeybees have a haplo-diploid sex determination system where females develop from a fertilized egg (they are diploid, having one allele from the female queen and one allele from the male), and males develop from unfertilized eggs (they are haploid, having only one allele from the queen). Assuming that the queen is heterozygous for a particular gene, what is the probability that a female will inherit the recessive allele from her mother? What is the probability that a male will inherit a recessive allele from his mother?
