- What is the number of sex chromosomes in male honey bees? We know that the chromosome set of males in honey bees is 1n and the chromosome set of female honeys is 2n, and based on this, the number of autosomal chromosomes in male honeybees is 16 chromosomes, and the number of autosomal chromosomes in female honey is 32 chromosomes, but if The male was haploid (1n) Will this make the number of autosomes equal to the number of sex chromosomes? Please clarify the answerwhat is the significance of chromosomal aberration? what are the different types of chromosomal abberations based on the structure and number of chromosomes? give examples for each. what environmental factors may increase in the incidence of chromosomal aberrations?Consider a Droscophilia fly with a genotype of Nn XqYY. The dominant allele of the sex-linked gene specifies a black body and the recessive a white body. The recessive autosomal allele specifies hairy bristles while the dominant allele specifies smooth bristles. i)What is the ploidy of this fly? ii) What would the sex of this fly be? iii)What would the phenotype of this fly be with respect to these two loci?
- From 2 to 6 percent of people with autism have an extra chromosome that consists of two long arms of chromosome 15. It includes two copies of the chromosome 15 centromere. Two normal copies of the chromosome are also present. What type of chromosome abnormality in a gamete can lead to this karyotype, which is called isodicentric 15?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…Human sex chromosomes are XX for females and XY for males. a. With respect to an X-linked gene, how many different types of gametes can a male produce? b. If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele? c. If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele?

- A boy with Down syndrome (trisomy 21) has 46 chromosomes. One parent and his two older sisters have a normal phenotype, but each have 45 chromosomes. a)Explain how this is possible. b)How many chromosomes do you expect to see in karyotypes of the parents? c)What term best describes this kind of chromosome abnormality? d)What is the probability the next child of this couple will have a normal phenotype and have 46 chromosomes? Explain your answer.Females heterozygous for the recessive second chromosome mutations px, sp, and cn are mated to a male homozygous for all three mutations. The offspring are as follows: Must show all work 1.) What gene is in the middle? and what are the map distances between the genes in centimorgans? 2.) What is the interference?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.
