Given that the passing of alleles into gametes is random, if we observe one gamete (egg or sperm) of an individual at a specific gene/locus: What is the probability that the allele in that gamete is the one from the father of the individual making the gametes? 2. What is the probability that the allele in that gamete is the one from the mother of the individual making the gametes?

A cell has three pairs of chromosomes, assuming that crossing over does not occur, what is the probability that a gamete will contain all of the maternal chromosomes?

Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes. Ignoring the effects of crossing over, what is the probability of a woman producing an egg that would contain only chromosomes she inherited from her mother?
