MAKE CONNECTIONS The ABO blood type locus hasbeen mapped on chromosome 9. A father who has typeAB blood and a mother who has type O blood have achild with trisomy 9 and type A blood. Using this information, can you tell in which parent the nondisjunctionoccurred? Explain your answer. (See Figures 14.11and 15.13.)

- MAKE CONNECTIONS Look at Figure 12.7 and imagine the twodaughter cells undergoing another round of mitosis, yielding four cells.Compare the number of chromosomes in each of those four cells, aftermitosis, with the number in each cell in Figure 13.8, after meiosis. Whatis it about the process of meiosis that accounts for this difference, eventhough meiosis also includes two cell divisions?arrow_forwardWHAT IF? After the synaptonemal complex disappears,how would any pair of homologous chromosomes beassociated if crossing over did not occur? What effectmight this have on gamete formation?arrow_forwardWHAT IF? In 2005, Icelandic scientists reported findinga large chromosomal inversion present in 20% of northern Europeans, and they noted that Icelandic womenwith this inversion had significantly more children thanwomen without it. What would you expect to happento the frequency of this inversion in the Icelandicpopulation in future generations?arrow_forward
- 1. What happens during crossing over? Why is “recombination” an alternative term for what happens during the process of crossing over? Does it occur during mitosis? If so, when? If not, explain why not. Does crossing over occur during meiosis? If so, when? If not, explain why not. How does crossing over influence the genetic diversity of gametes?arrow_forwardWHAT IF? If the parental (P generation) flies had been true-breedingfor gray body with vestigial wings and black body with normal wings, whichphenotypic class(es) would be largest among the testcross offspring?arrow_forwardQ1: Which chromosome contains the gene for cystic fibrosis? For Tay-Sachs disease? For sickle-cell disease? Q2: No known genetic disorders are encoded on the Y chromosome. Why do you think this is? Q3: In your own words, explain why most single-gene disorders are recessive rather than dominant.arrow_forward
- WHAT IF? Suppose males in the first mating had a mutant allele thatresulted in smaller eyes as a dominant trait (see Concept 14.1). What fractionof the females would produce some offspring with smaller eyes?arrow_forwardObservation 1: 1 out of 2 first trimester abortuses show abnormal karyotypes with 96% caused by numerical abnormalities and 4% with structural abnormalities. At live birth, 1 out of 160 has abnormal karyotypes with 60% caused by numerical changes. This number increases with fetuses of mothers over 35 years old to 1/50 for total incidence and 85% for numerical changes. Questions: Think of reasons why it is important to maintain the number and structure of chromosomes. Why is maternal age so important?arrow_forwardWHAT IF? What would the human life cycle be likeif we had alternation of generations? Assume that themulticellular diploid stage would be similar in form to anadult human.arrow_forward
- Discuss Concepts One of the human chromosome pairs carries a gene that influences eye color. In an individual human, one chromosome of this pair has an allele of this gene that contributes to the formation of blue eyes. The other chromosome of the pair has an allele that contributes to brown eye color (other genes also influence eye color in humans). After meiosis in the cells of this individual, what fraction of the nuclei will carry the allele that contributes to blue eyes? To brown eyes?arrow_forwardQ. What are the possible changes in chromosome number and structure that will occur in a living species with six haploid chromosomes ? You can give the phenotypic changes that will occur on a real and / or hypothetical sample.arrow_forwardConsider an animal with six pairs of chromosomes; one set of six chromosomes is from this animals male parent, and the homologous set of six chromosomes is from this animals female parent. How many combinations of chromosomes are possible in the gametes of an individual of this species if we look onlyat independent assortment of chromosomes, disregarding the effect of crossing-over?arrow_forward
