Common red clover, Trifolium pratense, is a diploidwith 14 chromosomes per somatic cell. What wouldbe the somatic chromosome number of:a. a trisomic variant of this species?b. a monosomic variant of this species?c. a triploid variant of this species?d. an autotetraploid variant?
Karl and Hally Sax crossed Aegilops cylindrica (2 n = 28), a wild grass found in the Mediterranean region, with Triticum vulgare (2 n = 42), a type of wheat . The resulting F1 plants from this cross had 35 chromosomes. Examination of metaphase I in the F1 plants revealed the presence of 7 pairs of chromosomes (bivalents) and 21 unpaired chromosomes (univalents). a. If the unpaired chromosomes segregate randomly, what possiblechromosome numbers will appear in the gametes of the F1 plants?
In Drosophila, the X chromosomes may become attached to one another (XXn ) such that they always segregate together. Some flies thus contain a set of attached X chromosomes plus a Y chromosome. (a) What sex would such a fly be? Explain why this is so. (b) Given the answer to part (a), predict the sex of the off-spring that would occur in a cross between this fly and a normal one of the opposite sex. (c) If the offspring described in part (b) are allowed to interbreed, what will be the outcome?
a. What letters are used to represent the short andlong arms of human chromosomes?b. Sketch a schematic diagram of a hypothetical chromosome 3 that has 3 regions with 2 bands each on the short arm and 5 regions with 3 bands each onthe long arm. Label the arms, regions, and bandsand indicate a gene at position 3p32.
A chromosome of genotype C D recombines with a homolog of genotype c d during meiosis when Spo11 produces a double-strand break between genes C and D. If anticrossover helicase disentangles the invading strand, the likely outcome would be A) two C D and two c d gametes. B) two C d and two c D gametes. C) one C D, one C d, one c D, and one c d gamete. D) four C D gametes. E) four c d gametes

A species of cereal rye (Secale cereale) has a chromosome number of 14, while a species of Canadian wild rye (Elymus canadensis) has a chromosome number of 28. Sterile hybrids can be produced by crossing Secale with Elymus. (a) What would be the expected chromosome number in the somatic cells of the hybrids? (b) Given that none of the chromosomes pair at meiosis I in the sterile hybrid (Hang and Franckowlak, 1984), speculate on the anaphase I separation patterns of these chromosomes.
Consider the following "pericentric" ("around the center") inversion. In one an individual, a simplified 8-gene sequence along one chromosome is 1234 5678 while a pericentric inversion occurred on their other homologous chromosome, resulting in the sequence 1265 4378 (the dot represents the centromere). Draw these homologous chromosomes lined up (as during crossing over, in Prophase l). If a crossover event occurred between gene locus 3 and 4 (slicing between them) on the original chromosome, what would the crossover products look like? What would be the "problem" with each of the chromosomes that result?
In Drosophila, a heterozygous female for the X-linkedrecessive traits a, b, and c was crossed to a male that phenotypically expressed a, b, and c. The offspring occurred inthe following phenotypic ratios.+ b c 460a + + 450a b c 32+ + + 38a + c 11+ b + 9 No other phenotypes were observed.(a) Determine the correct sequence and construct amap of these genes on the X chromosome ?
