A phenotypically normal woman has an abnormally structured chromosome 2, along with a normal homologue. She marries a phenotypically normal man with an abnormally structured chromosome 16 and a normal homologue. What is the probability of their child will have an abnormal chromosome 2 and 16? What is the probability that this child, having inherited both abnormal chromosomes, will now pass both abnormal chromosomes to its children?
An individual that is heterozygous for an inversion has the following chromosomes(∗ is the centromere):M N O P Q • R S T Um n o t s r • q p u Assume that a crossover occurred between P and Q. Starting with “M” allele, list the remaining genes in order (NO spaces between the letters) of the chromosome resulting from crossing over. You must use upper and lower-case letters correctly and the * symbol for the centromere(s).

The child also has one normal copy of chromosome 5 and two normal copies of chromosome 7. With regard to chromosomes 5 and 7, what do you think are the chromosomal compositions of the parents? Would it most likely be reciprocal translocation? It wouldn't be simple translocation because then the child would have the entirety of one chromosome and only some of the other, but in this case, there is only partial chromosome 5 and chromosome 7?arrow_forward

- A young couple is planning to have children. Knowing that there have been a substantial number of stillbirths, miscarriages, and fertility problems on the husband’s side of the family, they see a genetic counselor. A chromosome analysis reveals that, whereas the woman has a normal karyotype, the man possesses only 45 chromosomes and is a carrier of a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes 22 and 13. Q. If trisomies and monosomies entailing chromosomes 13 and 22 are lethal, approximately what proportion of the surviving offspring are expected to be carriers of the translocation?arrow_forwardA man who is a carrier of a translocated 15/21 chromosome marries a genotypically normal woman. (1). Show the possible gametes that will be formed by this man if the translocated 15/21 chromosome synapses with chromosome 21 at Prophase I. (2). What is the probability that the first child of the couple will be a phenotypically normal girl? (3). What is the probability that the first child of the couple will be a genetically normal boy?arrow_forwardA normal mother has translocations on chromosomes 14:21.
