A sexually reproducing animal has two unlinked genes, one for head shape (H) and one for tail length (T). Its genotype is HhTt. Which of the following genotypes is possible in a gamete from this organism? HhTt T HT Hh
Describe how nondisjunction in human female gametes can give rise to Klinefelter and Turner syndrome offspring following fertilization by a normal male gamete.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the alternation between fertilization and meiosis in sexually reproducing organism?
Butterflies have an X-Y sex-determination system that is different from that of flies or humans. Female butterflies may be either XY or X0, while butterflies with two or more X chromosomes are males. This photograph shows a tiger swallowtail gynandromorph, which is half male (left side) and half female (right side). Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, propose a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the first mitosis might have produced this unusual-looking butterfly. Question is also in the picture.
A diploid organism has five pairs of chromosomes in each somatic cell. Assuming that no crossing over occurs, how many genetically distinct gametes can this organism produce?
An individual with XY chromosomes produces gametes where 50% have an extra sex chromosome and 50% have no sex chromosomes. Given this information, what is the probability a fertilized egg will have the genotype XO? Assume that the egg has the expected 23 chromosomes prior to fertilization. 1/3 1/2 1/8 1/4 It is not 1/3 or 1/4
