How many different combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes can be packaged in gametes by an organism with a diploid number of 6 (2n=6; n=3) A. 24 B. 8 C. 32 D. 12

What is the designation for a gamete with one copy of each homologous chromosome? Select one: a. 3n b. 46 chromosomes c. n d. 2n

What would happen to the chromosome number in gametes and offspring if ​gametes were formed by the mitotic process instead of the meiotic process?

2.4

Which of the following statements is true? Select one: a. Nondisjunction during anaphase I or anaphase II will have no effect on the gametes formed. b. More gametes will be affected if nondisjunction occurs during anaphase I than if nondisjunction occurs during anaphase II. c. More gametes will be affected if nondisjunction occurs during anaphase II than if nondisjunction occurs during anaphase I. d. Nondisjunction during anaphase I or anaphase II will have the same effect.

An individual can have an abnormal number of chromosomes as a result of nondisjunction. Identify the following example of nondisjunction that results in an abnormal number of chromosomes. A. Sister chromatids do not separate in meiosis II.   B. Homologous chromosomes move apart appropriately during meiosis I.   C. Mitosis occurs normally during embryonic development.   D. Two normal gametes fuse during fertilization.

In a diploid cell with six pairs of chromosomes, independent assortment during meiosis can generate possible different combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes in the gametes. 2 12 64
