Two diploid species of closely related frogs, which we will callspecies A and species B, were analyzed with regard to the genesthat encode an enzyme called hexokinase. Species A has two distinctcopies of this gene: A1 and A2. In other words, this diploidspecies is A1A1 A2A2. Species B has three copies of the hexokinasegene, which we will call B1, B2, and B3. A diploid individualof species B would be B1B1 B2B2 B3B3. These hexokinase genesfrom the two species were subjected to DNA sequencing, and thepercentage of sequence identity was compared among these genes.The results are shown here.

In an in situ hybridization experiment, a certain clonebound to only the X chromosome in a boy with no diseasesymptoms. However, in a boy with Duchenne musculardystrophy (X-linked recessive disease), it bound to theX chromosome and to an autosome. Explain. Could thisclone be useful in isolating the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy?

The human genome consists of 23 pairs of chro-mosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chro-mosomes). During meiosis, the maternal and paternal setsof homologs pair, and then are separated into gametes, sothat each contains 23 chromosomes. If you assume thatthe chromosomes in the paired homologs are randomlyassorted to daughter cells, how many potential combina-tions of paternal and maternal homologs can be gener-ated during meiosis? (For the purposes of this calculation,assume that no recombination occurs.)
