Summary Introduction

To explain:

The cross-over between chromosomes containing genes DDbb and ddBB during meiosis and representation of chromatids and chromosomes before, during, and after crossing over, with the help of a diagram.

Introduction:

A crossing over occurs between chromosomes during meiosis. The meiosis the part of cell-cycle, during, which the genetic material from both the parents gets exchanged. A synapse is formed at the prophase 1 of the meiosis, which is followed by the cross-over between two chromosomes. During a cross-over a new type of phenotype is formed, representing recombinants that are different from either parent.

Draw and label a 2n=4 cell going through anaphase I of meiosis.
A diploid (2n) trihybrid individual with the genotype EeFfGg can make eight genetically different gametes.  Loci E/e and F/f are on chromosome 1 and locus G/g is on chromosome 2. Explain how a gamete containing the alleles e, f and g may be produced by meiosis. Refer specifically to meiotic events occurring during Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I and Anaphase II. (NB: remember to refer to the organism above).
An individual is heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, with the following chromosomes: A • B C D E F A • B C V W X R ST • U D E F R ST • U V W X Q. Draw a picture of these chromosomes pairing in prophase I of meiosis.
