Question
Do genetic combination of mothers play a significant role in determining the sex of a new born?
Solution
Mothers have two X chromosomes as sex chromosomes so, they produce eggs with X chromosome. All of her children (both girl and boy) receive X chromosome from their mother. So, genetic combination of mothers do not play a significant role in determining the sex of a new born.

In a dihybrid cross, F2 phenotypic ratio is 13 : 3. It is case of ______.
