Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.

In a sample of 1000 patients with Down syndrome, a geneticist discovers that 95% of them are trisomic, while 5% have diploid number of chromosomes. Explain this discrepancy.

Jeff's spermatogonium (precursor sperm cell before meiosis) looks like the cell on the left (only four chromosomes are shown. Assume all the other chromosomes behaved normally). After meiosis, Jeff makes a sperm that looks like the cell on the right. Assume the A/a and F/f genes are near the centromere where crossing over is suppressed. When did a nondisjunction event occur to create this sperm?
What kind of chromosomal mutations is/are produced by unequal crossing over?
A tomato geneticist attempts to assign five recessivemutations to specific chromosomes by using trisomics.She crosses each homozygous mutant (2n) with each ofthree trisomics, in which chromosomes 1, 7, and 10 takepart. From these crosses, the geneticist selects trisomicprogeny (which are less vigorous) and backcrosses themto the appropriate homozygous recessive. The diploidprogeny from these crosses are examined. Her results, inwhich the ratios are wild type:mutant, are as follows:Which of the mutations can the geneticist assign towhich chromosomes? (Explain your answer fully.)
A phenotypically abnormal individual has a phenotypically normalfather with an inversion on one copy of chromosome 7 and a phenotypicallynormal mother without any changes in chromosomestructure. The orders of genes along the two copies of chromosome7 in the father are as follows: R T D M centromere P U X Z C (normal chromosome 7)R T D U P centromere M X Z C (inverted chromosome 7) The phenotypically abnormal offspring has a chromosome 7 withthe following order of genes: R T D M centromere P U D T R Using a sketch, explain how this chromosome was formed. In youranswer, explain where the crossover occurred (i.e., between whichtwo genes).
