Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 48P
Figure 5.29 shows mitotic recombination leading to single spots or twin spots occurring in the G2 stage of the cell cycle (after the chromosomes have replicated). However, because it usually is initiated by rare, random events of chromosome breakage, mitotic recombination can also take place in G1, prior to S phase. Redraw Fig. 5.29 with mitotic recombination taking place in G1 rather than G2, and demonstrate why any such event could not yield single spots or twin spots.

If anticrossover helicase disentangles the invading strand, the likely outcome would be A) two C D and two c d gametes. B) two C d and two c D gametes. C) one C D, one C d, one c D, and one c d gamete. D) four C D gametes. E) four c d gametesarrow_forwardWhy do eukaryotic cells need to go through the elaborate procedure of mitosis rather than simply dividing during interphase? Select as many answers as apply. 1.Daughter cells must be genetically identical to the mother cell, for homeostasis and ordered tissue growth. 2.Bivalent chromosomes must condense and be separated in an orderly fashion, to allow equal distribution of copies into daughter cells 3.Physically dividing the nucleus during interphase would likely lead to gross chromosome breakage and highly unequal assortment of genetic information into daughter cells. 4.Dividing the nucleus during interphase would have the same outcome as mitosis 5.Daughter cells must have half the number of chromosomes after mitosis than the mother cells 6.The homologous pairs of chromosomes need to be separated, to ensure copies go to the daughter cells.arrow_forward
