Repetitive sequences -Misaligned в Ас crossover А в с D Duplication Deletion в с Nonallelic homologous recombination, leading to a duplication and a deletion. Repetitive sequences, shown in red, have promoted the misalignment of homologous chromosomes. A crossover has occurred at sites between genes C and D in one chromatid and between genes B and C in another chromatid. After crossing over is completed, one chromatid contains a duplication, and the other contains a deletion.

A colleague e-mails you saying that she has identified an interesting chromosome variation at 21q13. In discussing this discovery with a friend who is not a cytogeneticist, explain how you would describe this location, defining each term in the chromosome address 21q13.
Analyzing Karyotypes 1. Originally, karyotypic analysis relied only on size and centromere placement to identify chromosomes. Because many chromosomes are similar in size and centromere placement, the identification of individual chromosomes was difficult, and chromosomes were placed into eight groups, identified by the letters A to G. Today, each human chromosome can be readily identified. a. What technical advances led to this improvement in chromosome identification? b. List two ways this improvement can be implemented. c. What clinical information does a karyotype provide?
Equalizing the Expression of X Chromosome Genes in Males and Females Individuals with an XXY genotype are sterile males. If one X is inactivated early in embryogenesis, the genotype of the individual effectively becomes XY. Why will this individual not develop as a normal male?
In an in situ hybridization experiment, a certain clonebound to only the X chromosome in a boy with no diseasesymptoms. However, in a boy with Duchenne musculardystrophy (X-linked recessive disease), it bound to theX chromosome and to an autosome. Explain. Could thisclone be useful in isolating the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy?

I. In humans, chromosome 16 sometimes has a heavilystained area in the long arm near the centromere. Thisfeature can be seen through the microscope but has noeffect on the phenotype of the person carrying it.When such a “blob” exists on a particular copy ofchromosome 16, it is a constant feature of that chromosome and is inherited.A couple conceived a child, but the fetus hadmultiple abnormalities and was miscarried. When thechromosomes of the fetus were studied, it was discovered that it had three copies of chromosome 16 (it wastrisomic for chromosome 16), and that two of thethree chromosome 16s had large blobs. Bothchromosome 16 homologs in the mother lacked blobs,but the father was heterozygous for blobs. Which parent experienced nondisjunction, and in which meioticdivision did it occur?

In an electrophoretic gel across which is applied a powerful electrical alternating pulsed field, the DNA of thehaploid fungus Neurospora crassa (n = 7) moves slowlybut eventually forms seven bands, which represent DNAfractions that are of different sizes and hence havemoved at different speeds. These bands are presumed tobe the seven chromosomes. How would you show whichband corresponds to which chromosome?
