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?

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?
A 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?
Two phenotypically normal parents produce a phenotypicallyabnormal child in which chromosome 5 is missing part of its longarm but has a piece of chromosome 7 attached to it. The child alsohas one normal copy of chromosome 5 and two normal copies ofchromosome 7. With regard to chromosomes 5 and 7, what do youthink are the chromosomal compositions of the parents?
A normal mother has translocations on chromosomes 14:21. With respect to chromosomes 14:21, how many combinations of chromosomes are possible? How many gametes are viable? If the woman has children with an normal father, what is the probability that there is a daughter with Down Syndrome or a son with an unaffected phenotype?
Two phenotypically unaffected parents produce two children withfamilial Down syndrome. With regard to chromosomes 14 and 21,what are the chromosomal compositions of the parents?
Two phenotypically unaffected parents produce two children with familial Down syndrome. Regarding chromosome 14 and 21, what are the chromosomal composition of the parents?
Two phenotypically normal parents produce a phenotypically abnormal child in which chromosome 5 is missing part of its long arm but has a piece of chromosome 7 attached to it. 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?
A boy with Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) is born to a mother who is phenotypically normal and a father who has the X- linked skin condition called anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The boy has patches of normal skin and patches of abnormal skin. Which of the following statemnets likely explains these observations? The father contributed the extra X chromosome in the son as a result of a non-disjunction in meiosis I during spermatogenesis. The mother contributed the extra X chromosome in the son as a result of a non-disjunction in meiosis II during oogenesis. The mother contributed the extra X chromosome in the son as a result of a non-disjunction in meiosis I during oogenesis. The father contributed the extra X chromosome in the son as a result of a non-disjunction in meiosis II during spermatogenesis. Either parent could have contributed to the extra X chromosome in the son as a results of disjunction in either meiosis I or meiosis II during…
A phenotypically abnormal individual has a phenotypically normalfather with an inversion on one copy of chromosome 7 and a phenotypicallynormal mother without any changes in chromosomestructure. The orders of genes along the two copies of chromosome7 in the father are as follows: R T D M centromere P U X Z C (normal chromosome 7)R T D U P centromere M X Z C (inverted chromosome 7) The phenotypically abnormal offspring has a chromosome 7 withthe following order of genes: R T D M centromere P U D T R Using a sketch, explain how this chromosome was formed. In youranswer, explain where the crossover occurred (i.e., between whichtwo genes).
Familial Down syndrome is similar to primary Down syndrome in that it is caused by trisomy 21. However, in familial Down syndrome, all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21 has translocated onto another autosome, typically chromosome 14. In cases of familial Down syndrome, one of the parents of the affected child is often a carrier of a translocated chromosome. The translocation carrier parent does not have Down syndrome because he or she has a total of two copies of chromosome 21. Suppose that a woman is a translocation carrier of chromosome 21 on chromosome 14. She conceives six zygotes with a man who carries no aneuploidies. Match the description of the chromosomes inherited by each zygote with the viability and phenotype of the zygote. ✓ Two normal copies of 14, two normal copies of 21 two normal copies of 21, one normal copy of 14 ✓one normal copy of 14, one 21 to 14 translocation, one normal copy of 21 ✓two normal copies of 14, one normal copy of 21, on 21 to 14…
A phenotypically normal individual has the following combinations of normal and abnormal chromosomes:The normal chromosomes are shown on the left in each pair.Suggest a series of events (breaks, translocations, crossovers, etc.)that may have produced this combination of chromosomes.
A woman with an abnormally long chromosome 13 (and a normalhomolog of chromosome 13) has children with a man with anabnormally short chromosome 11 (and a normal homolog of chromosome 11). What is the probability of producing an offspringthat will have both a long chromosome 13 and a short chromosome11? If such a child is produced, what is the probability that thischild will eventually pass both abnormal chromosomes to one ofhis or her offspring?
