Chapter 7, Problem 24PDQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The importance of cytological markers (chromosomal knob and translocated segment) in Creighton and McClintock’s experiment.
Introduction:
A cytological marker is the one which can be readily detected by cytological techniques. Harriet Creighton and Barbara Mcclintock demonstrated in 1932 that the recombination of the genes which are linked to a chromosome needs the actual physical exchange of parts or segments of the chromosome with its homologue.

In Creighton and McClintock’s experiment demonstrating thatcrossing over involves physical exchange between chromosomes, explain the importance of the cytological markers(the translocated segment and the chromosome knob) in theexperimental rationale.
. 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?
Assume that the Holliday junctions resolve so that there is no crossing over (that is, there is no recombination). For the maternal chromosome list all of the possible base identities at the three positions after the cell repairs any mismatches. Do the same for the paternal chromosome.”
