Chapter 5, Problem 34ESP
(a)
Summary Introduction
To describe: The conclusion which is obtained from the nondisjunction and recombination frequencies and the way by which trisomic frequencies are influenced by the recombination frequencies
Introduction: The chromosomes are small structures which carry genes. These chromosomes transfer from one generation to another and show the similarity in the progeny. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes found in a cell.
(b)
Summary Introduction
To describe: The selective advantage of positive chromosomal interference
Introduction: The chromosomes carry genetic information of an organism. These are thread-like structures which are found in the nucleus of the cell. The traits of an organism are carried by the chromosomes from one generation to another.

In the past, the IOC has employed two genetic sex-
determination tests. The Barr body test screens for
the presence of two X chromosomes. In XX somatic
cells, one copy of the X chromosome condenses into
a largely inactive structure called a
Barr body, which can be seen using a light
microscope. In more recent years, a polymerase
chain reaction-based screen has been used to
amplify the DNA sequence of the SRY gene, which is
found only on the Y chromosome.
Based on their karyotypes, what would be the
outcome of these two tests for each of the four
individuals? Drag the labels to indicate the presence
or absence of a Barr body and the SRY gene
sequence.
The normal sequence of markers on a certain Drosophila chromosome is
ABCDE*FGHIJK, where the asterisk represents the centromere. Some flies were
isolated with a chromosome aberration that has the following structure:
ABCDE*FIJK . This represents a
O a) deletion of GH segment
O b) inversion of GH segment
O c) deletion
O d) deletion of centromere
4) Explain why you can NOT typically have a Male Calico cat.
5) Can you think of any unusual situation where you might be able to have a Male Calico cat? Explain how this might occur
6) Explain how X chromosome inactivation takes place in mammals at the chromosomal and molecular level.
B. What genes are involved in inactivating a human X chromosome?
C. What role does X chromosome-specific inactivating transcript --XIST-- non coding RNA play in the inactivation of the human X chromosome.

If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker (L long or S short) were unlinked, what proportion of the test-cross progeny would be black flies that are heterozygous for the molecular marker? What proportion would be flies with normal body color, which are homozygous for one form of the molecular marker? D. If the gene for black body and the locus for the molecular marker were linked, how would the proportion of flies be different?arrow_forwardShown here is PCR-based analysis of mouse pups from an experiment designed to evaluate the phenotypic impact of the sex-reversed Y chromosome gene (SRY).

Explain.arrow_forwardSelect the best process listed below for each of the following statements. Note that you need to know that the sequence of amino acids directly reflects the sequence of genes that coded for their placement. Homologous sets of genes ABCDEF and aBCdEF are located on - vnonhomologous chromosomes. Crossing over between them is suppressed because their locations are the result of this. Homologous sets of genes ABCDEF and AEDCBF are located on homologous chromosomes. A small region of a protein from three species is sequenced and found to be as follows: species X is alanine, glycine, glycine, threonine, alanine v species Y is alanine, glycine, threonine, alanine species Z is alanine, glycine, glycine, threonine, alanine The difference in the amino acid sequence of species Y is most likely due to this. a.

B) Crossover suppression occurs when no recombinant progeny are observed between two genes located within a homozygous paracentric inversion. C) The ends of each chromosome are replicated by an RNA-protein complex called telomerase. D) When a mismatched base pair occurs during DNA replication, mismatch repair corrects the mismatch by replacing the nucleotide on the template strand. E) Mutations occur spontaneously and so may be pre-existing in a population when a selective pressure arises.

Researchers trying to maintain bobbed stocks have often documented their tendency to revert to wild type in successive generations. Propose a mechanism based on meiotic recombination which could account for this reversion phenomenon. Why would wild-type flies become more prevalent in Drosophila cultures?arrow_forwardIn corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of the corn plants (i.e the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile corn plants.
