Assume that a meiotic-nondisjunction event causes trisomy 8 in a newborn. If two of the three copies of chromosome 8 are absolutely identical, at what point during meiosis did the nondisjunction event take place?
Variations in Chromosome NumberAneuploidy Describe the process of nondisjunction and explain when it takes place during cell division.
On Neurospora chromosome 4, the leu3 gene is just to theleft of the centromere and always segregates at the firstdivision, whereas the cys2 gene is to the right of the centromere and shows a second-division segregation frequency of 16 percent. In a cross between a leu3 strain anda cys2 strain, calculate the predicted frequencies of thefollowing seven classes of linear tetrads where l = leu3 andc = cys2. (Ignore double and other multiple crossovers.)
A woman who sought genetic counseling is found to be heterozygousfor a chromosomal rearrangement between the second andthird chromosomes. Her chromosomes, compared to those in anormal karyotype, are diagrammed on the next page:(a) What kind of chromosomal aberration is shown?
The normal sequence of nine genes on a certainDrosophila chromosome is 123 • 456789, where the dotrepresents the centromere. Some fruit flies were foundto have aberrant chromosomes with the followingstructures:a. 123 • 476589 c. 1654 • 32789b. 123 • 46789 d. 123 • 4566789Name each type of chromosomal rearrangement, anddraw diagrams to show how each would synapse withthe normal chromosome.
In Neurospora, his2 mutants require the amino acidhistidine for growth, and lys4 mutants require theamino acid lysine. The two genes are on the samearm of the same chromosome, in the ordercentromere - his2 - lys4.A his2 mutant is mated with a lys4 mutant.

A woman who sought genetic counseling is found to be heterozygousfor a chromosomal rearrangement between the second andthird chromosomes. Her chromosomes, compared to those in anormal karyotype, are diagrammed on the next page:(a) This woman is phenotypically normal. Does thissurprise you? Why or why not? Under what circumstancesmight you expect a phenotypic effect of such arearrangement?
A wild-type chromosome has the following segments: A B C • D E F G H I Researchers have found individuals that are heterozygous for each of the following chromosome mutations. For each mutation, sketch how the wild-type and mutated chromosomes would pair in prophase I of meiosis, showing all chromosome strands. Q. A B C • D H I
The a, b, and c loci are all on different chromosomesin yeast. When a b+ yeast were crossed to a+ b yeastand the resultant tetrads analyzed, it was found thatthe number of nonparental ditype tetrads was equal tothe number of parental ditypes, but there were no tetratype asci at all. On the other hand, many tetratypeasci were seen in the tetrads formed after a c+ wascrossed with a+ c, and after b c+ was crossed withb+ c. Explain these results.
In general, why do changes in chromosome structure or numbertend to affect an individual’s phenotype? Explain why somechanges in chromosome structure, such as reciprocal translocations,do not.
