Assume that a meiotic-nondisjunction event causes trisomy 8 in a newborn. If two of the three copies of chromosome 8 are absolutely identical, at what point during meiosis did the nondisjunction event take place?
The chromosome constitution number of this individual is 2=6. This drawing represents: a. mitotic metaphase. b. meiotic metaphase I. c. meiotic metaphase II. d. a gamete. e. sixnonhomologous chromosomes.
Figure 13.6 Which of the following statements about nondisjunction is true? Nondisjunction only results in gametes with n+1 or n-1 chromosomes. Nondisjunction occurring during meiosis II results in 50 percent normal gametes. Nondisjunction during meiosis I results in 50 percent normal gametes. Nondisjunction always results in four different kinds of gametes.
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?
For each of the following types of chromosomalaberrations, tell: (i) whether the chromosomes of anorganism heterozygous for the aberration will formany type of loop during prophase I of meiosis;(ii) whether a chromosomal bridge can be formedduring anaphase I in a heterozygote, and if so, underwhat conditions; (iii) whether an acentric fragmentcan be formed during anaphase I in a heterozygote,and if so, under what conditions; (iv) whether theaberration can suppress meiotic recombination; and(v) whether the two chromosomal breaks responsible for the aberration occur on the same side or on opposite sides of a single centromere, or if the two breaksoccur on different chromosomes.a. Reciprocal translocationb. Paracentric inversionc. Small tandem duplicationd. Robertsonian translocatione. Pericentric inversionf. Large deletion
An individual heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation possesses the following chromosomes: A B • C D E F G A B • C D V W X R S • T U E F G R S • T U V W X Q. Draw the pairing arrangement of these chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis.
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?
Let’s suppose a pea plant is heterozygous for three genes, Tt Yy Rr, and each gene is on a different chromosome. How many different wayscould the three pairs of homologous chromosomes line up during metaphase of meiosis I?
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)?
In Figure 4-3, would there be any meiotic products thatdid not undergo a crossover in the meiosis illustrated? Ifso, what colors would they be in the color conventionused?
A person is born with one X chromosome, zero Y chromosomes,trisomy 21, and two copies of the other chromosomes. How manychromosomes does this person have altogether? Explain whetherthis person is euploid or aneuploid.
An individual is heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, with the following chromosomes: A • B C D E F A • B C V W X R ST • U D E F R ST • U V W X Q. Draw a picture of these chromosomes pairing in prophase I of meiosis.
