The Y chromosome has been shrinking throughout mammalian evolution, but many of its remaining genes play crucial roles beyond sex determination. Let's discuss the implications. And keep in mind that many animal species do not even have proper sex chromosomes.
Assuming that such a fly would be viable, what would be the sexof a fruit fly with the following chromosomal composition?A. One X chromosome and two sets of autosomesB. Two X chromosomes, one Y chromosome, and two sets ofautosomesC. Two X chromosomes and four sets of autosomesD. Four X chromosomes, two Y chromosomes, and four sets ofautosomes
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the human X chromosomes? It is the same size as other chromosomes and has the same number of genes. It is present in every somatic cell of males and females. It carries genes that determine an individual's biological sex. It is referred to as an autosome.
All the DNA in a haploid set ofchromosomes is called a person’s ____________
In C. elegans there are two sexes: hermaphrodite and male. Sex is determined by the ratio of X chromosomes to haploid sets of autosomes (X/A). An X/A ratio of 1.0 produces a hermaphrodite (XX), and an X/A ratio of 0.5 results in a male (XO). In the 1970s, Jonathan Hodgkin and Sydney Brenner carried out genetic screens to identify mutations in three genes that result in either XX males (tra-1, tra-2) or XO hermaphrodites (her-1). Double-mutant strains were constructed to assess for epistatic interactions between the genes (see table). Propose a genetic model of how the her and tra genes control sex determination.
The diploid chromosome number for the somatic cells of a frog is 26. What would that number be after three generations if meiosis did not occur before gamete formation.
