The Oregon creeping vole, Microtus oregoni, has a very unusual meiosis?. In this rodent, males are XY, while females are XØ (that is, females have only a single X chromosome). During female meiosis, eggs that receive no maternal X chromosome do not mature, so females only produce eggs with exactly one X chromosome. As chromosome content is unchanged from generation to generation, M. oregoni males (who are XY) must deliberately nondisjoin their sex chromosomes. la) What types of sperm would M. oregoni have to produce (considering only their sex chromosome content) so that progeny get the right chromosomes? Remember, no inviable combinations are normally produced.

We are following the progress of human chromosome 1 during meiosis. At the end of prophase I, how many chromosomes, chromatids, and centromeres are present to ensure that chromosome 1 faithfully traverses meiosis?
Compare meiotic anaphase I with meiotic anaphase II. Which meiotic anaphase is most similar to the mitotic anaphase?
Suppose that meiosis occurs in the transient diploid stageof the cycle of a haploid organism of chromosome number n. What is the probability that an individual haploidcell resulting from the meiotic division will have a complete parental set of centromeres (that is, a set all fromone parent or all from the other parent)?
Meiotic nondisjunction is much more likely than mitotic nondisjunction.Based on this observation, would you conclude that meioticnondisjunction is usually due to nondisjunction during meiosisI or meiosis II? Explain your reasoning?
in the experiment of following chromosomal dna mvement througgh meiosis, why. do you use non-sister chromatids to demobstrate crossing over? what combinatiobns of alleles could result from a crossover between BD and bd chromosomes? Identify two ways that meiosis contributes to genetic recombination. Why is it necessary to reduce the number of chromosomes in gametes, but not in other cell?
During zygotene stage of meiosis I, a remarkable pairing of chromosomes occurs. Look at the bottom part of As shown in which “mitosis: growth of the body” has produced cells with four different types of chromosomes. The black ones came from the sperm nucleus. The red ones came from the egg nucleus. If one of these nuclei were to undergo meiosis, which chromosomeswould pair during zygotene (which are homologous)— the long black one with the short black one or the long black one with the long red one?
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?
In Neurospora, his2 mutants require the amino acidhistidine for growth, and lys4 mutants require theamino acid lysine. The two genes are on the samearm of the same chromosome, in the ordercentromere - his2 - lys4.A his2 mutant is mated with a lys4 mutant. Draw all ofthe possible ordered asci that could result from meioses in which the following events occurred, accountingfor the nutritional requirements for each ascospore.Ascospores without any copy of a chromosome willabort and die, turning white in the process.a. A single crossover between the centromere and his2b. A single crossover between his2 and lys4c. Nondisjunction during the first meiotic divisiond. Nondisjunction during the second meiotic divisione. A single crossover between the centromere andhis2, followed by nondisjunction during the firstmeiotic divisionf. A single crossover between his2 and lys4,followed by nondisjunction during the firstmeiotic division
Meiosis is characterized by the pairing of homologouschromosomes during prophase I. In many species, an elaboratestructure called the synaptonemal complex forms betweenhomologues. During this pairing, homologues may exchangechromosomal material at sites called chiasmata. In meiosis I, thehomologues separate from each other, reducing the chromosomenumber to the haploid state (thus the reductive division). It isfollowed by a second division without replication, during whichsister chromatids become separated. The result of meiosis I and IIis four haploid cells. If sister chromatids separated at the first division, would meiosis still work?
A sperm cell from the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster contains four chromosomes. How many chromosomes would be present in a spermatogonial cell about to enter meiosis? How many chromatids would be present in a spermatogo- nial cell at metaphase I of meiosis? How many would be present at metaphase II?
