In diploid yeast strains, sporulation and subsequent meiosis can produce haploid ascospores, which may fuse to reestablish diploid cells. When ascospores from a segregational petite strain fuse with those of a normal wild-type strain, the diploid zygotes are all normal. Following meiosis, ascospores are petite and normal. Is the segregational petite phenotype inherited as a dominant or a recessive trait?

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?

An equational division of mitosis is occuring for a diploid organism that has three heterologous chromosomes. One acrocentric, one metacentric and one telocentric. The organism is tetrahybrid and heterozygous for dominant and recessive alleles at four different loci. The parental genotypes were AAbbCCDD and aaBBccdd. Locus A and B are on the telocentric chromosome. Locus C is on a metacentric chromosome. Locus D is on the acrocentric chromosome. Part A: How many chromosomes are observed during anaphase? Part B: For cells of this organism that undergo meiosis, how many tetrads are observed during metaphase I? Part C: What is the n value for this organism?
