Which statement about homologous chromosomes is FALSE? Select one: a. They contain the same genes in the same places along the length of the chromosome b. One member of the homologous pair came from your mother, the other from your father c. For a particular gene, one member of the pair may have one allele, while the other has a different allele d. They are joined together at the centromere as the two halves of the typical X-shaped chromosome

(a) A person with Down syndrome. She has 47 chromosomes rather than the common number of 46, because she has an extra copy of chromosome 21. (b) A wheat plant. Cultivated wheat is derived from the contributions of threewild species with two sets of chromosomes each, producing an organismwith six sets of chromosomes.Do these examples constitute variation in chromosomestructure or variation in chromosome number?
During meiosis, when crossing-over occurs between two homologous chromosomes, it does not happen at a single point, but rather two points with a stretch of DNA in between. What are the two junction points called?What is the region between the two points called and what is different about this region compared to how double-stranded DNA usually is?If the region described in b.) is located within a gene and the two homologues have different alleles of this gene, what might happen that is a direct violation of Mendel’s first law? (Describe the process with 2-3 sentences of detail.)
Below is a pedigree of a rare human skin disease. Who in the pedigree has the same Y chromosome as the II-3 male? Give all correct answers.
A cell has two pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, which we will call chromosomes Ia, Ib, IIa, and IIb (chromosomes Ia and Ib are homologs, and chromosomes IIa and IIb are homologs). Allele M is located on the long arm of chromosome Ia, and allele m is located at the same position on chromosome Ib. Allele P is located on the short arm of chromosome Ia, and allele p is located at the same position on chromosome Ib. Allele R is located on chromosome IIa and allele r is located at the same position on chromosome IIb.a. Draw these chromosomes, identifying genes M, m, P, p, R, and r, as they might appear in metaphase I of meiosis. Assume that there is no crossing over.b. Taking into consideration the random separation of chromosomes in anaphase I, draw the chromosomes (with genes identified) present in all possible types of gametes that might result from this cell’s undergoing meiosis. Assume that there is no crossing over.
