Addition rule: If an event can occur in more than one way, the probability of the event in the sum of the probability of each event. Example: the probability of getting a normal baby = … + = Multiplication rule: The probability of several independent events occurring together is the product of the probability of each event. Example: the probability of getting the 1st child normal, 2nd child albino and the 3rd child normal = x … x =9/64

Key Points • Most organisms have sex chromosomes but sex genes may also be found on autosomes. • Evidence for sex determination in Drosophila comes from study on Drosophila genetics and gynandromorph. • Evidence for sex determination in human comes from the study on human sex anomalies, sex mosaics and Sry genes.
