Generally, sex chromosomes in male mammals are XY and females are XX. Following meiosis and gamete production, and assuming there are no chromosome mutations, what is the frequency of the genotypes of all possible gametes, and what should be the sex ratio of all offspring produced within a population?

In certain salamanders, the sex of a genetic female can be altered, changing her into a functional male; these salamanders are called sexreversed males. When a sex-reversed male is mated with a normal female, approximately 23 of the offspring are female and 13 are male. How is sex determined in these salamanders? Explain the results of this cross.
A sexually reproducing animal has two genes that assort independently, 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?
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
Based on this karyotype, what proportion of this women’s gametes would produce viable embryos?
If the 2n chromosome number of an organism is 12: (a) what is the probability of having a spermatid with equal number of maternal and paternal chromosomes? (b) of a polar body containing at least two paternal chromosomes.
Plutonian Tickle-bellies have a sex determination system just like mammals. Hairy Snout is a holandric trait (carried on the Y chromosome). MyxRotcccc, a handsome male Tickle-belly, has lovely orange hair on his snout. He and his mate, OrgggWny, have six offspring, three boys and three girls. Please answer the following questions about this family. How many of MyxRotcccc’s and OrgggWny’s offspring have hairy snouts? Can you predict which ones? Their eldest son, Bob, marries and has a son. What is the chance that Bob’s son will also have a hairy snout? JoKchew, MyxRotcccc’s and OrgggWny’s youngest daughter, marries a male who has a smooth, hairless purple snout. She has eight offspring, each one lovelier than the last, and all boys. What percentage of these offspring do you expect to have hairy snouts? Explain.
A green salamander is mated with a white salamander. In the offspring, 49% of their abies are green and 51% of the babies are white. What is the genotype of the green salamander?
Provide two reasons why meiosis leads to genetic variation in diploid organisms.

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 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
The Amami spiny rat (Tokudaia osimensis) lacks a Y chromosome, yet scientists at Hokkaido University in Japan have reported that key sex-determining genes continue to be expressed in this species. Provide possible explanations for why male differentiation can still occur in this mammalian species despite the absence of a Y chromosome.
