Correct answer: C. 1:1 between son and daughter
- A. 3:1 between son and daughter
- B. 1:3 between son and daughter
- C. 1:1 between son and daughter
- D. None of the above
Explanation
The chances for having a son or daughter in human birth are often estimated to be around 50% for each gender. This means that, on average, there is an equal likelihood of having a son or a daughter. However, it's important to remember that these probabilities are statistical and can vary from individual to individual. Ultimately, the gender of a baby is determined by the combination of genetic factors from both parents.

About Mendel's Laws of Inheritance
Mendelian inheritance explains how alleles separate into gametes and assort during reproduction, producing predictable genotype and phenotype ratios. Questions cover dominance, recessiveness, homozygous and heterozygous conditions, the laws of segregation and independent assortment, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, test crosses and the limits caused by linked genes.
