A specific human individual with a male sex has the same sex chromosome complement as a metafemale Drosophila fly. Both individuals have a diploid set of autosomes.i) What is the sex chromosome complement of these two individuals? ii) If these individuals were produced from a fertilization event involving an abnormal egg and abnormal sperm cell, provide the genetic make-up of the two gametes? Clearly indicate the male and female gametes.
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…

EC1. In drosophila the cw (curly wings) gene and eb (ebony body) genes are found on the same chromosome 20 map units apart. A cross was made between an ebony bodied parental strain and a curly winged parental strain and the F1’s were test crossed. a) What are the genotypes of the parental strains? b) What are the genotypes of the F1’s? c) What is the genotype of the tester strain? d) What progeny phenotypes and genotypes do you expect, and in what proportions? For phenotypes use the mutant phenotype for any that the flies have, and wild-type if they have none. EC2.

Look at map units here. b) Test your hypothesis with a chi-squared test.
Explain why inversions and reciprocal translocations do not usually cause a phenotypic effect. In a few cases, however, they do. Explain how.
