Question
Chapter 10, Problem 8WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
“Whether the condition of Y chromosome infertility is inheritable or not”.
Concept introduction:
The female carries two X chromosomes whereas male carry one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome contains the testis determinant gene (SRY gene). The Y chromosome also contains other genes which are necessary for the production of sperm.

- Normally you cant inherit both copies of a homologous chromosome from the same parent. Why? Assuming that no crossing over has occurred, how likely is it that one of your non-sex chromosomes is an exact copy of the same chromosome your maternal grandmother had? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA woman gives birth to monozygotic twins. One boy has a normal genotype (46, XY), but the other boy has trisomy 13 (47, +13). What eventsand in what sequenceled to this situation?arrow_forwardIf you ignore the effect of crossing over, would you expect the genetic information in the two secondary spermatocytes derived from a primary spermatocyte to be identical? Explain your answer completely.arrow_forward

Why does this happen more in females? How does maternal age change the outcome? Why?arrow_forward
- If a woman is a carrier of a certain x linked disease and one of her X chromosomes is turned off in each cell how is it she doesn't have the disease?arrow_forwardIf the gene is linked to the "Y" chromosome, women will not have the disorder. Why?arrow_forwardExplain why a person with Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) still exhibits abnormal phenotypes despite the fact that one of the extra X Chromosome is inactivated practically leaving an XY active sex chromosomes similar to a normal male?arrow_forward
- Fetuses whose cells are triploid, that is, contain three full sets of chromosomes, develop to term and die as infants, whereas fetuses with individual chromosome trisomies tend not to fare as well. How can you explain this observation?arrow_forwardA karyotype shows that a child has Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY). If the child is also colorblind (due to a recessive X-linked allele), despite his parents having normal color vision, in which parent and stage of meiosis did nondisjunction occur? And explain why .arrow_forwardClark Kent and Lois Lane Kent are about to have a (Super) baby. As Superman, Clark possesses amazing traits, including heat-ray vision. Assume that this is: a) a dominant trait, and b) carried on the X chromosome. If Clark and Lois have a boy or a girl, what is the probability that they will possess their father's amazing abilities? (Remember: females have XX chromosomes, while males have XY chromosomes. The Y chromosome doesn’t carry any of the genes on the X chromosome). X H = Superman’s heat-ray vision allele on his X chromosome Y = Superman’s Y chromosome X h = Lois’s normal vision allele on her X chromosomearrow_forward
