Chapter 11, Problem 4S

Aneuploid gametes are cells that contain the wrong number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy occurs as a result of nondisjunction, or lack of separation of the chromosomes during either phase of meiosis.

a. At what point in meiotic cell division would nondisjunction occur?

b. Imagine a cell had a diploid chromosome number of four. Create a diagram to illustrate the effects of nondisjunction of one pair of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I versus meiosis II.

Consider a diploid cell that has 2n = 4 chromosomes: one pair of metacentric chromosomes and one pair of acrocentric chromosomes. Suppose that this cell undergoes nondisjunction, giving rise to an autotriploid cell (3n). The triploid cell then undergoes meiosis. Draw the different types of gametes that could result from meiosis in the triploid cell, showing the chromosomes present in each type. To distinguish between the different metacentric and acrocentric chromosomes, use a different color to draw each metacentric chromosome; similarly, use a different color to draw each acrocentric chromosome.
Consider a diploid organism in which the somatic cell chromosome number is 42. Assume cytokinesis to occur in mid telophase. A. How many chromosomes at the close of telophase of mitosis? B. How many chromosomes are expected at metaphase II of meiosis?
