- Assume that a meiotic-nondisjunction event causes trisomy 8 in a newborn. If two of the three copies of chromosome 8 are absolutely identical, at what point during meiosis did the nondisjunction event take place?arrow_forwardVariations in Chromosome NumberAneuploidy Describe the process of nondisjunction and explain when it takes place during cell division.arrow_forwardIndividuals with trisomy 21 are more likely to survive to adulthood than individuals with trisomy 18. Based on what you know about aneuploidies from this module, what can you hypothesize about chromosomes 21 and 18?arrow_forward
- People with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21, for a total of 47 chromosomes. However, in a few cases of Down syndrome, 46 chromosomes are present. This total includes two normal-looking chromosomes 21, one normal chromosome 14, and a longer-than-normal chromosome 14. Interpret this observation. How can these individuals have 46 chromosomes?arrow_forwardin metaphase 1 of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes line up side by side along the equator so that crossing over can occur between the homologous pairs and the homologous chromosomes can be pulled to opposite poles during anaphase 1. in mitosis, by contrast, homologous chromosomes line up single file along the equator. what benefits are derived from these two different ways that homologous chromosomes are positioned at metaphase in meiosis and mitosis?arrow_forwardWithin the sperm and egg cells of a frog, there are 13 chromosomes.

- A sperm cell from the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster contains four chromosomes. How many chromosomes would be present in a spermatogonial cell about to enter meiosis? How many chromatids would be present in a spermatogo- nial cell at metaphase I of meiosis? How many would be present at metaphase II?arrow_forwardAssuming all of the chromosomes present during Meiosis II are shown in the figure above, how many chromosomes (counting homologous pairs as two chromosomes) does a cell from this organism have immediately after fertilization?arrow_forwardWhy are the homologous regions of the X and Y chromosome important during meiosis?arrow_forward
- For an organism with a diploid number of 6, how are the chromosomes arranged during metaphase?arrow_forwardDuring meiosis, cells undergo two rounds of nuclear and cell division, but only one round of DNA synthesis. Describe the main differences between anaphase of mitosis and anaphase I in meiosis. Why are these differences important for meiosis to occur correctly?arrow_forward. With regards to the grasshopper testes experiment, diakinesis is an ideal stage to determine chromosome number due to the degree of condensation of the chromosomes? Count the chromosomes at this stage. Does it represent a diploid or a haploid number?arrow_forward
