17.Which among the following statement is NOT TRUE about the theory of inheritance? A. The paternal and maternal chromosomes assort randomly during meiosis. B. Genes are transmitted from parent to offspring via chromosomes. C. Gametes contain either a maternal set of chromosomes only or a paternal set of chromosomes only. D. An offspring receives one allele from the first parent and another allele from the other parent, giving the offspring two alleles.

1. A mother with blood type A has a child with blood type O, and she claims that Mister X is the father. Mister X denies that he could possibly be the father, because he has blood type B. If you were the judge presiding over this case, which of the following arguments would you find most convincing? a. Mr. X could be the father if his blood genotype is IBIB, and the mother’s blood genotype is IAIA b. Mr. X cannot be the father because a child with blood type O cannot have a parent with blood type B c. Mr. X could be the father if his blood genotype is IBi, and the mother’s blood genotype is IAi d. Mr. X cannot be the father because a parent with blood type B cannot have a child with blood type O e. Mr. X cannot be the father because the human ABO blood types are sex-linked traits 2.

2.In dogs, there is a hereditary deafness caused by a recessive allele, d. A kennel owner has a male dog that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can hear, but the owner is unsure of the genotype. She does a testcross (crosses it to a homozygous recessive dog), and two of the five offspring are deaf. This means that the male dog A.has the genotype DD B.has the genotype Dd C.is still of unknown genotype since there were offspring of both deaf and hearing phenotypes. D.has the genotype dd
