(a) AB (b) A (c) B 10.4 Suppose that a family has five children. Find the probability that there are four girls and one boy. 10.5 Suppose that a family has five children. Find the probability that there are exactly three girls and two boys. 10.6 Using only four genes denoted by (N-P-M-G), how many different gene orders are there? 10.7 Suppose that you want to plant four trees in a plot and can choose from 10 different species. How many ways can be chosen to plant the trees in the plot? 10.8 Suppose that there are five types of toppings to put on a certain pizza. If you want to have only two toppings, how many choices do have? you 0.9 In plants and animals that sexually reproduce, each parent gives half of its genes to the offspring. Somatic cells contain two unique copies of each chromosome, and the two copies of each chromosome form a chromosome pair, or homologous chromosomes. Diring the process of meiosis, the somatic cell will divide into gametes, or sex cells, each of which contains only one copy of each chromosome. (a) The common fruit fly has four different chromosomes; thus, in each somatic cell, there ac egnt chromosomes arranged in four pairs. How many unique gametes can one fruit fly form? (b) Humans have 23 different chromosomes; thus, in each somatic cell, there are 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 chromosome pairs. How many unique gametes ca one human form? A
