| 2. | Male fruit fly is heterogametic. |
| 3. | In male grasshoppers, 50% of sperms have no sex chromosome. |

A woman receives her X chromosomes from:
1. her mother only
2. her father only
3. both her mother and her father
4. extranuclear DNA in her mother's egg
The sex of the fetus is determined:
| 1. | at the time of fertilization by the type of sperm fertilizing the ovum. |
| 2. | at the time of fertilization by the female parent as she always produces an egg with an X chromosome. |
| 3. | at the time of implantation due to the secretion of TDF by the fetal testes. |
| 4. | at the time of implantation due to the secretion of ODF by the fetal testes. |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the various methods of sex determination in living organisms:
| 1. | A male grasshopper has an odd number of chromosomes in its somatic cells. |
| 2. | A person with Klinefelter syndrome will be genotypically female. |
| 3. | In butterflies the female flies are diploid while the male flies are haploid. |
| 4. | A fruit fly with two X chromosomes and two sets of autosomes will be a fertile female. |
A woman has four daughters. The chance that her next child will be a son is:
| 1. | 1 | 2. | 0 |
| 3. | \(1 \over 2\) | 4. | \(1 \over 4\) |
