- Karl and Hally Sax crossed Aegilops cylindrica (2 n = 28), a wild grass found in the Mediterranean region, with Triticum vulgare (2 n = 42), a type of wheat . The resulting F1 plants from this cross had 35 chromosomes. Examination of metaphase I in the F1 plants revealed the presence of 7 pairs of chromosomes (bivalents) and 21 unpaired chromosomes (univalents). a. If the unpaired chromosomes segregate randomly, what possiblechromosome numbers will appear in the gametes of the F1 plants?arrow_forwardWe have discussed meiosis in yeast. One ascus e one melotic event. Two haploid yeast strains are crossed together, one wild type, the other mutant for 2 linked genes. The resulting diploid strain undergoes melosis eventually (=many meiotic events > many asci). A. What will the results be if the 2 genes are very far away from each other (certainly more than 50 map units)? B. What will the results be if the two genes are right next to each other, "no distance at all, zero distance"? (Explain your answers). Results here are patterns of asci and their percentages. Like for example "50% tetratypes, 0% ditypes", etc. If you forgot what a ditype or a tetratype is, you can illustrate them like that.arrow_forwardA young couple is planning to have children. Knowing that there have been a substantial number of stillbirths, miscarriages, and fertility problems on the husband’s side of the family, they see a genetic counselor. A chromosome analysis reveals that, whereas the woman has a normal karyotype, the man possesses only 45 chromosomes and is a carrier of a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes 22 and 13. a. List all the different types of gametes that might be produced by the man. b. What types of zygotes will develop when each of gametes produced by the man fuses with a normal gamete produced by the woman? c. If trisomies and monosomies entailing chromosomes 13 and 22 are lethal, approximately what proportion of the surviving offspring are expected to be carriers of the translocation?arrow_forward
