DAT Destroyer 2011 Bio Q#185

The question is really simple, but I think there is an error on the answer choice.

The qeustion asks: A man with type A blood has children with a woman of type B. If both are assumed to be heterozygous, what is the probability of an AB child?

My answer was 25% and the Destroyer is saying 100% even though they clearly state that probability of an AB is 25%.

I am just double checking with you guys.
Thanks

25% chance sounds about right to me as well. It's probably just a typo, though I hope there are only a few of them since I plan on buying destroyer as well. ^_^

Good Luck with future studying!

Yeah! 25% seems right to me. i think there is some mistake in the answer. because 100% is absolutely impossible since they mentioned that both parent are heterozygous.

it says A, but right underneath it says 25% AB, the answer "A" must be from the 2010 question that was there and they never changed the letter answer

I have the 2010 version and you're right, the answer is 25%. In the 2010 version, 25% is choice C and the answer is listed as C. So I guess it's just a type in the 2011 version.

*typo...lol how appropriate that I made a typo typing the word typo 😀

bio 145 is the same deal also. says the answer is D because but then goes into the explanation of why the answer is E.

they are charging us so much for these silly mistakes, which make us to waste our time!!!

the chem section has some just terribly worded problems also. #111 how many grams are in 800ml of a .2M solutions of sulfuric acid?

the answer to the question they actually posed is .8L* 1019.2g/L(the density of the .2 molar solution) which is ~800g. a little off from what he was trying to ask:

if the answer is 16 grams then they must mean how many grams of acid
so .8L * .2mole/L * 96g/mole h2so4 ~~ 16g h2so4

i love and hate this book, we will see how it pays off i guess

wall, I feel exactly the same way, the wording is a bit weird on some questions which easily throws you off. but lets see what will happen, im taking the exam in june and your taking it shortly. I look forward to your breakdown, hopefully you will slaughter it.

Yeah, I remember doing this few days ago. I got it right from guessing since I did not memoized how to name compounds. I just guessed since it's acid it there should be either one or two hydrongen(s) attached to SO4

Used this formula molarity= moles/L soln

we got molarity and Lsoln so I multiplied these two numbers and got moles and multiplied (moles)(MW of sulfuric acid) to get grams
