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?
WHAT IF? Propose a possible reason that the firstnaturally occurring mutant fruit fly Morgan sawinvolved a gene on a sex chromosome and was foundin a male.
WHAT IF? A chicken has 78 chromosomes in its somaticcells. How many chromosomes did the chicken inheritfrom each parent? How many chromosomes are in eachof the chicken’s gametes? How many chromosomes willbe in each somatic cell of the chicken’s offspring?

- VISUALIZE Sketch a series of diagrams showing each of the following, making sure to end each series with haploid cells: (a)How a pair of alleles for a single locus segregate in meiosis (b)How the alleles of two unlinked loci assort independently in meiosis (c)How the alleles of two linked loci undergo genetic recombinationarrow_forwardQ. A eukaryotic cell is diploid and contains 10 chromosomes (5 in each set). In mitosis and meiosis, how many daughter cells will be produced, and how many chromosomes will each one contain?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_forward
- 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.)arrow_forwardVISUALIZE Use two different colors to depict the unduplicated chromosomes of species C with larger chromosomes (2n = 8) and species D with slightly smaller chromosomes (2n = 10), and of their F1 hybrid. Is the hybrid likely to be fertile?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_forward
- VISUALIZE Sketch a roughly cuboidal cell preparing to divide. Indicate the orientation of the preprophase band and the site where the new cell walls of the daughter cells will form.arrow_forwardDiscuss 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_forward1. 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_forward

A cell has four pairs of chromosomes. Assuming that crossing over does not occur, what is the probability that a gamete will contain all of the paternal chromosomes? If n is the number of chromosomes in a set, which of the following expressions can be used to calculate the chromosomes: (1/2)^n, (1/2)^n-1, or n^1/2?arrow_forwardThink about the alignment of tetrads on the metaphase plate during meiosis I. What is meant by the statement that full siblings “ON AVERAGE” share 50% of their DNA? Could two siblings from the same parents share more or less than 50% of their DNA? How?arrow_forward
