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?
For a certain chromosomal region, the mean number of crossovers at meiosis is calculated to be two per meiosis. In that region, what proportion of meioses are predicted to have (a) no crossovers? (b) one crossover? (c) two crossovers?
A diploid organism produces four gametes from one parent cell through the process of meiosis. Two gametes are found to have 7 chromosomes and two gametes are found to have 5 chromosomes. A) Is this the expected number of chromosomes that would be found in each gamete following a normal cycle of meiosis? If yes, explain why. If no, explain why not and describe how the gamete situation described above occurred. B) Determine the number of homologous chromosome pairs that the original parent cell contained, before meiosis began. Explain how you determined this value.
In fruit flies, chromosomal crossing over does not occur in meiosis in males, whereas crossing over does occur in meiosis in females. In fruit flies that are heterozygous at many genes (i.e. many maternal and paternal versions of the genes differ), at what stage would cells no longer be heterozygous for any gene during the process of meiosis? a)After the second meiotic division in males, and after the first meiotic division in females. b)After the second meiotic division in both males and females. c)After the first meiotic division in both males and females. d)After the first meiotic division in males, and after the second meiotic division in females.
In a testcross for two genes, what types of gametes are produced with (a) complete linkage, (b) independent assortment, and (c) incomplete linkage?
(d) With the random segregation of dyads, how many possible combinations are there at the end of meiosis for a diploid number of 10? (e) If half the chromosomes of a human primary oocyte segregate into the first polar body, which degenerates, why aren't some of the different kinds of chromosomes of the diploid chromosome complement absent from the egg? (f)What is the significance of the formation of polar bodies?
An organism has a diploid number of 16 in a primary oocyte. (a) How many tetrads are present in the first meiotic prophase? (b) How many dyads are present in the second meiotic prophase? (c) How many monads migrate to each pole during the second meiotic anaphase?
In garden peas, yellow seeds (Y)(Y) are dominant to green seeds (y)(y), and inflated pods (I)(I) are dominant to constricted pods (i)(i). Suppose you have crossed YYIIYYII parents with yyiiyyii parents. What would be all the genotype(s) of gametes produced by F1F1 individuals?
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?
If two loci are 10 cM apart, what proportion of the cells in prophase of the first meiotic division will contain a single crossover in the region between them?
