A company that offers PGD terms an embryo “normal and healthy” if it has 46 chromosomes. Why is this statement misleading? , Two famous male actors had twins using a surrogate mother who carried two embryos that hadbeen fertilized in vitro, one with one man’s sperm and the other with the other man’s sperm. In terms of genetics, how closely are the babies, a boy and a girl, related to each other if they have different fathers?
If each gene is located on a specific chromosome and that chromosome has two pairs (homologous chromosomes), how does each chromosome represent one allele and why do you label each chromatid with the same allele?
A cat is born with two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome. One of the X chromosomes carries the black fur allele and the other carries the orange fur allele. Would you expect this cat to be a male or female? Would it be calico?
Let’s say there is an organism with two pairs of alleles, W/w and Z/z, each pair is located on a different pair of chromosomes in the organism’s somatic cells. During Prophase, what will you observe in the somatic cells?
In the classic "X" figure of the chromosome, is the whole X from one parent, or is one side of the X from the mother and the other side from the father?
Let’s say there is an organism with two pairs of alleles, W/w and Z/z, each pair is located on a different pair of chromosomes in the organism’s somatic cells. During Metaphase, what will you observe in the somatic cells?
A cell has four pairs of chromosomes. Assuming that crossing over does not occur, what is the probability that a gamete will contain all of the paternal chromosomes? If n equals the number of chromosomes in a set, which of the following expressions can be used to calculate the probability that a gamete will receive all of the paternal chromosomes: (1/2)n, (1/2)n–1, or n1/2?
Imagine a germ cell for an animal that is 2n=4. Gene A and B are found on chromosome one, and the cell is homozygous for A(AA) and heterozygous for Bb. Gene D is found on chromosome 2 and the germ cell is heterozygous for the Allee of the gene (Dd). Meiosis for this germ cell results in the following four gametes, and one crossing over event during meiosis ABD, ABd, AbD, Abd. Draw the chromosomes in cell during metaphase of meiosis 1. Make sure to include chromosomes, the allele in the correct locations on the chromosomes AFTER the crossing over event, and spindle fibers.
A woman with an abnormally long chromosome 13 (and a normalhomolog of chromosome 13) has children with a man with anabnormally short chromosome 11 (and a normal homolog of chromosome 11). What is the probability of producing an offspringthat will have both a long chromosome 13 and a short chromosome11? If such a child is produced, what is the probability that thischild will eventually pass both abnormal chromosomes to one ofhis or her offspring?

An organism has two chromosomes only. Chromosome 1 has its centromere near one end and carries the A-locus. Chromosome 2 has its centromere at the centre and carries the B-locus. Consider a heterozygous with alleles A and B inherited from one parent and alleles a and b from the other parent. What does the following figure represent? a. Metaphase of meiosis I b. Metaphase of meiosis II c. Metaphase of mitosis d. Metaphase of mitosis or meiosis II
In a diploid organism, two homologous chromosomes synapse at prophase 1 of meiosis. One of the homologous chromosomes carries a sequence of four genes named A, B, C, and D. They get capital letters because each gene is dominant. On the two chromatids of the homologous chromosome, the same sequence of genes are all recessive. They are denoted a, b, c, and d. During prophase I of meiosis, when the homologous chromosomes synapse with one another, there is a crossover between two of the non-sister chromatid. These two chromatids break between genes B and C, as shown in the diagram below. They then reattach to the non-sister chromatid. What will each of these 2 chromatids carry after they separate from their sister chromatid in meiosis 2?
