- X and Y chromosomes have some genes in common. These genes are inherited in a pseudoautosomal pattern. With this phenomenon in mind, discuss whether or not the X and Y chromosomes are really distinct linkage groups. Give answer?Humans and many other complex organisms are diploid, possessing two sets of genes, one inherited from the mother and one from the father. However, a number of eukaryotic organisms spend most of their life cycles in a haploid state. Many of these eukaryotes, such as Neurospora and yeast, still undergo meiosis and sexual reproduction, but most of the cells that make up the organism are haploid. Considering that haploid organisms are fully capable of sexual reproduction and generating genetic variation, why are most complex eukaryotes diploid? In other words, what might be the evolutionary advantage of existing in a diploid state instead of a haploid state? And why might a few organisms, such as Neurospora and yeast, exist as haploids?Discuss whether or not the X and Y chromosomes are really distinct linkage groups?Hint(X and Y chromosomes have a few genes in common. These genes are inherited in a pseudoautosomalpattern.)
- A diploid species has 3 pairs of chromosomes in its somatic cells. In males, the first pair is large submetacentric[1]; the second is medium acrocentric[2], and the third is small telocentric[3]. In females, the first two pairs are like those of the males while the third is large metacentric[4][5], with satellite4 Illustrate the karyograms (drawing/picture of the chromosome) of the following: A triploid cell in females tetrasomic cell in males tetraploid cell in females [1] submetacentric --centrosome is just above the middle of the chromosome [2] acrocentric --centrosome is much higher location than submetacentric so that the “p” arm of the chromosome is much shorter than the q arm [3] telocentric --the centromere is at the end of the chromosome [4] metacentric --centrosome is in the middle of the chromosome; thus the “p-arm” and the “q-arm” or both arms of the chromosome are equal in length [5] satellite-a constriction in an arm of a chromosome, aside…In the following schematic drawing of a Holliday junction,one chromatid is shown in red, and the homologous chromatidis shown in blue. The red chromatid carries a dominant allelelabeled A and a recessive allele labeled b, whereas the blue chromatidcarries a recessive allele labeled a and a dominant allelelabeled B. Where would the DNA strands have to be cut to produce recombinantchromosomes? Would they be cut at sites 1 and 3, or at sites2 and 4? What would be the genotypes of the two recombinantchromosomes?Variations in Chromosome NumberAneuploidy Describe the process of nondisjunction and explain when it takes place during cell division.
- In a human genetic study, a family with five phenotypicallynormal children was investigated. Two children were “homozygous”for a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes19 and 20 (they contained two identical copies of the fusedchromosome). They have only 44 chromosomes but a completegenetic complement. Three of the children were “heterozygous”for the translocation and contained 45 chromosomes,with one translocated chromosome plus a normal copy of bothchromosomes 19 and 20. Two other pregnancies resulted instillbirths. It was later discovered that the parents were firstcousins. Based on this information, determine the chromosomecompositions of the parents. What led to the stillbirths? Whywas the discovery that the parents were first cousins a key pieceof information in understanding the genetics of this family?In a germline progenitor cell before DNA replication (2N), a translocation occurred between a telocentric and submetacentric chromosome resulting in a translocation heterozygote. The location of the translocation is illustrated below. Draw the Prophase I pairing conformation that would result from this translocation. The four types of chromosomes you have now can be labeled as follows: T-WT (telocentric wild type), T-TL (telocentric translocation), SM-WT (submetacentric wild type), and SM-TL (submetacentric translocation). Using these labels, list (please do not draw) the possible outcomes of Anaphase I and the possible phenotypes for each outcome. Please explain your reasoning for each phenotype in a few words. asapIn rice, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Give the result(s) of the cross and explain the phenotype of the offspring.
- In an electrophoretic gel across which is applied a powerful electrical alternating pulsed field, the DNA of the haploid fungus Neurospora crassa (n = 7) moves slowly but eventually forms seven bands, which represent DNA fractions that are of different sizes and hence have moved at different speeds. These bands are presumed to be the seven chromosomes. How would you show which band corresponds to which chromosome?Somatic cells in organisms of a certain diploid plant species normally have 14 chromosomes. The chromosomes in the gametes are numbered from 1 through 7. Rarely, zygotes are formed that contain more or fewer than 14 chromosomes. A zygote that has the chromosome composition 111 22 33 44 555 66 77 is 1. A.) Anueploid or B.)Euploid , and its chromosome complement can be described as 2. A). trisomic , B.)allotriploid , C. autotriploid for chromosomes 1 and 5. Pick the correct letter for 1 and 2.Here is a depiction of the position of several genes on 2 chromosomes, with a dash "-" depicting the position of the centromere. Chromosome A has genes ABCD-EFGHIJ Chromosome B has genes 1234-56789. Please name the kind of rearrangement that would result in the following derivative chromosomes: 12D-EFGHIJ AB4-56789 O Unbalanced reciprocal translocation Unbalanced nonreciprocal translocation Balanced reciprocal translocation Balanced nonreciprocal translocation
