The Oregon creeping vole, Microtus oregoni, has a very unusual meiosis?. In this rodent, males are XY, while females are XØ (that is, females have only a single X chromosome). During female meiosis, eggs that receive no maternal X chromosome do not mature, so females only produce eggs with exactly one X chromosome. As chromosome content is unchanged from generation to generation, M. oregoni males (who are XY) must deliberately nondisjoin their sex chromosomes. la) What types of sperm would M. oregoni have to produce (considering only their sex chromosome content) so that progeny get the right chromosomes? Remember, no inviable combinations are normally produced.

A sexually reproducing organism has the following phenotype DdEeAaTt: The D and E loci are on the same arm of a metacentric chromosome in cis configuration. The A locus is on the long arm of an acrocentric chromosome and the T locus is on a telocentric chromosome. There are no other chromosomes. 1. What is the haploid number of this organism? 2. Using diagrams, show a cell at metaphase of mitosis and show the results of mitosis. Ensure you show the location of the gene loci on the different chromosomes.
Somatic cells in organisms of a particular diploidplant species normally have 14 chromosomes. Thechromosomes in the gametes are numbered from 1through 7. Rarely, zygotes are formed that containmore or fewer than 14 chromosomes. For each of thezygotes below, (i) state whether the chromosomecomplement is euploid or aneuploid; (ii) provideterms that describe the individual’s genetic makeupas accurately as possible; and (iii) state whether ornot the individual will likely develop through theembryonic stages to make an adult plant, and if so,whether or not this plant will be fertile.a. 11 22 33 44 5 66 77b. 111 22 33 44 555 66 77c. 111 222 333 444 555 666 777d. 1111 2222 3333 4444 5555 6666 7777
Meiosis is characterized by the pairing of homologouschromosomes during prophase I. In many species, an elaboratestructure called the synaptonemal complex forms betweenhomologues. During this pairing, homologues may exchangechromosomal material at sites called chiasmata. In meiosis I, thehomologues separate from each other, reducing the chromosomenumber to the haploid state (thus the reductive division). It isfollowed by a second division without replication, during whichsister chromatids become separated. The result of meiosis I and IIis four haploid cells. If sister chromatids separated at the first division, would meiosis still work?
Suppose that meiosis occurs in the transient diploid stageof the cycle of a haploid organism of chromosome number n. What is the probability that an individual haploidcell resulting from the meiotic division will have a complete parental set of centromeres (that is, a set all fromone parent or all from the other parent)?
During zygotene stage of meiosis I, a remarkable pairing of chromosomes occurs. Look at the bottom part of As shown in which “mitosis: growth of the body” has produced cells with four different types of chromosomes. The black ones came from the sperm nucleus. The red ones came from the egg nucleus. If one of these nuclei were to undergo meiosis, which chromosomeswould pair during zygotene (which are homologous)— the long black one with the short black one or the long black one with the long red one?
in the experiment of following chromosomal dna mvement througgh meiosis, why. do you use non-sister chromatids to demobstrate crossing over? what combinatiobns of alleles could result from a crossover between BD and bd chromosomes? Identify two ways that meiosis contributes to genetic recombination. Why is it necessary to reduce the number of chromosomes in gametes, but not in other cell?
Consider and individual with 3 pairs of homologous chromosomes labeled as: A/a B/b D/d(where the slash line separates one chromosome from its homologues). How many differentmeiotic products (sperm or egg) can this individual produce? What are these?
Meiotic nondisjunction is much more likely than mitotic nondisjunction.Based on this observation, would you conclude that meioticnondisjunction is usually due to nondisjunction during meiosisI or meiosis II? Explain your reasoning?
In a particular dihybrid the two genes of interest, “A” and “B,” are located on different chromosomes. Which of the following diagrams does not represent a stage of meiosis in this organism? (Note: For each answer only some chromatids may be represented.)
The repeat expansion appears to occur during meiosis but not mitosis. Why mightthis be true?
The given picture is a homologous chromosome pair that shows this behavior pachytene: a. what is the specific type of chromosomal aberrations shown in the figure? b. Draw how these chromosomes behave during Anaphase I. c. Provide all the gametes that will be formed after meiosis II and identify whether those gamete will be fertile or sterile.
Though an individual with abberations such as Robertsonian translocation may be phenotypically normal, they can generate gametes through meiosis that have atypical organizations of chromosomes, resulting in recurrent fetal abnormalities or miscarriages. Why, despite these Robertsonian translocations, are affected cells still able to generate typical gametes through meiosis?
