- Analyzing Karyotypes 1. Originally, karyotypic analysis relied only on size and centromere placement to identify chromosomes. Because many chromosomes are similar in size and centromere placement, the identification of individual chromosomes was difficult, and chromosomes were placed into eight groups, identified by the letters A to G. Today, each human chromosome can be readily identified. a. What technical advances led to this improvement in chromosome identification? b. List two ways this improvement can be implemented. c. What clinical information does a karyotype provide?arrow_forwardGenetic application problem A couple in which the woman belongs to group 0 Rh- and the man is AB Rh + claim as theirs a baby whose blood is A Rh +.

Diagram and label this molecule, then describe how would this molecule look if it were a DNA/RNA hybrid using the AG for the DNA strand.arrow_forwardQuestion: How can methylation and acetylation of DNA and histones affect the production of a protein? Include a picture to show acetylation of histones and how it affects chromosome condensingarrow_forwardEvidence [see P. G. Shiels, A. J. Kind, K. H. Campbell, et al. (1999),“Analysis of telomere lengths in cloned sheep,” Nature 399, 316–317] suggests that Dolly may have been genetically older than heractual age. As mammals age, the chromosomes in somatic cells tendto shorten from the telomeres. Therefore, older individuals haveshorter chromosomes in their somatic cells than do younger ones.When researchers analyzed the chromosomes in the somatic cells of Dolly when she was about 3 years old, the lengths of her chromosomeswere consistent with those of a sheep that was significantlyolder, say, 9–10 years old. (Note: As described in the chapter, thesheep that donated the somatic cell that produced Dolly was 6 yearsold, and her mammary cells had been grown in culture for severalcell doublings before one of the cells was fused with an oocyte.)A. Suggest an explanation why Dolly’s chromosomes seemedolder than they should have been.B. Let’s suppose that a female sheep (like Dolly), which…arrow_forward
- Chromosomal Basis of Heredity Eukaryotic chromosomes are thousands of times longer than a typical cell. Explain how chromosomes can fit inside a eukaryotic nucleus. How are chromosomes in eukaryotic cells packaged? Chromosome abnormalities can be structural or numerical. Enumerate at least 3 examples of each, giving the numerical or structural changes in the chromosomes.arrow_forwardSynthesis - Claim, Evidence, Reasoning Consider the following question: “The Y chromosome is an accurate indicator of a person’s external sex organs.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
