- For a species with a diploid number of 18, indicate how many chromosomes will be present in the somatic nuclei of individuals that are haploid, tetraploid, trisomic, and monosomic.arrow_forwardChromosomal abnormalities can interfere with pairing and segregation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis and so lead to infertility problems and unbalanced mutations in gametes. In which of the following do problems occur only when homologous regions recombine, instead of during the simple pairing and segregation of homologous chromosomes? Group of answer choices Paracentric inversions Robertsonian translocations Translocations Odd multiples of autopolyploidy Allopolyploidy with differing n numbers of chromosomesarrow_forwardIdentify the type of chromosomal aberration described in each of the following cases: a. loss of a chromosome segment b. extra copies of a chromosome segment c. reversal in the order of a chromosome segment d. movement of a chromosome segment to another, nonhomologous chromosomearrow_forward
- Variations in Chromosome NumberAneuploidy Describe the process of nondisjunction and explain when it takes place during cell division.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is false? Group of answer choices With a pericentric inversion, there is no loss in genetic material. Haploinsufficiency is caused by a duplication event causing increased expression of a gene. An effect of aneuploidy is that it changes the dosages of some genes. Pseudodominance indicates that one of the homologous chromosomes has a deletion. Sterility is a possible effect of autopolyploidyarrow_forwardFor a species with a diploid number of 22, how many chromosomes will be present in the somatic nuclei of individuals that are haploid, tetraploid, trisomic, and monosomic.arrow_forward
