- 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. Question 1: How many chromosomes are observed during anaphase?arrow_forwardAn equational division of mitosis is occuring for a diploid organism that has three heterologous chromosomes.

Question 2: For cells of this organism that undergo meiosis, how many tetrads are observed during metaphase I?arrow_forwardWhy are aneuploidies in autosomal chromosomes likely to cause more severe phenotypes compared to aneuploidies in sex chromosomes?arrow_forward
- Extranuclear inheritance can involve genes that are present in: ribosomes mitochondria autosomes sex chromosomes In humans, which of the following would be phenotypically male? Question 5 options: XO individuals XX individuals XXY individuals XXX individuals Presence of an abnormal number of copies of an individual chromosome in a cell is a condition known as: triploidy heterogamy aneuploidy polyploidyarrow_forwardYou are an allele on a single uncondensed chromosome in a Yellow fever-carrying mosquito (Aedes aegypti) diploid cell (2n = 6). Demonstrate in as much detail as possible: (1) how you will get to each genetically identical diploid cell of the multicellular offspring. (2) how you will get to the next generation of sexually reproduced progeny.arrow_forwardhow can having extra copies of x or y chromosomes create genetic problems?arrow_forward
- How does a chromosomal duplication occur?arrow_forwardAssume that each gene is located on a separate chromosome. Parent 1 has the following genotype: AaBbDdEE Parent 2 has the following genotype: aaBbDdEe A) What is the probability of an offspring with genotype: aaBbDDEe B) What is the probability of an offspring with genotype: aaBBDDEEarrow_forwardWhat are the three key features used to read chromosomes? Go to using karyptypes to predict genetic disorders What is trisomy? What is monosomy? Sketch and describe: metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentricarrow_forward
- Why do some genes express themselves later in life? Why not earlier? How many chromosomes in a human that has trisomy-15? How many chromosomes in a human that is triploid?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes an individual whose genetic make-up is shown below? in () 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 The individual is male with the correct number of chromosomes. The individual is female with the correct number of chromosomes. The individual is a male with trisomy. The individual is a female with trisomy. The individual is a female with trisomy.arrow_forwardWhile working in the lab, you notice that your fruit flies all appear to have an intersex phenotype. This is most likely due to: O There being a 2:3 ratio of X chromosomes to autosomal chromosomes. O There being a 1:2 ratio of X chromosomes to autosomal chromosomes. O There being a 3:2 ratio of X chromosomes to autosomal chromosomes. O There being a 1:1 ratio of X chromosomes to autosomal chromosomes. O There being a 1:2 ratio of Y chromosomes to autosomal chromosomes.arrow_forward
