A Drosophila male is heterozygous for a reciprocaltranslocation between an autosome and the Y chromosome. The part of the autosome now present onthe Y chromosome contains the dominant mutationLyra (shortened wings); the other (normal) copyof the same autosome is Lyra+. This male is nowmated with a true-breeding, wild-type female. Whatkinds of progeny would be obtained, and in whatproportions?
A cytogeneticist is studying the cells from an abnormal female monkey. In some cells, she finds that both X-chromosomes are active (i.e. not packaged into a Barr body), although one of the X-chromosomes appears shorter. She also finds that one of the autosomes are packaged as a Barr body, and she suspects that a translocation event might have been involved. By referring to the mechanism of X-chromosome inactivation, explain the observations made by the scientist
A male Drosophila melanogaster has the genotype A/a; B/b; C/c; XD/Y (all genes are on separate chromosomes). How many different sperm genotypes can it produce through meiosis of one single pre-gametic (2n) cell? (remember, there is no crossing over in male Drosophila)
Explain.

- A female Drosophila with the mutant phenotype 'notched wings' was mated to a wild type male. Two-thirds of the progeny were female. Half of the females had notched wings and the other half had wild type wings and all the male progeny had wild type wings. When the notched progeny were mated to their wild type brothers, the same results were obtained. Explain.arrow_forwardA specific human individual with a male sex has the same sex chromosome complement as a metafemale Drosophila fly. Both individuals have a diploid set of autosomes.i) What is the sex chromosome complement of these two individuals? ii) If these individuals were produced from a fertilization event involving an abnormal egg and abnormal sperm cell, provide the genetic make-up of the two gametes? Clearly indicate the male and female gametes.arrow_forward8.18 Irradiatioh of Drosophila sperm produces transloca- tions between the X chromosome and autosomes, between the Y chromosome and autosomes, and between different autosomes. Translotations between the X and Y chromosomes are not produced. Explain the absence of X-Y translocations. The birth of this child prompted the Dentons' physician to order a chromosome study of parents and child. The results of the study are shown in the accompanying fig- ure. Chromosome banding was done, and all chromo- somes were normal in these individuals, except some copies of number 6 and number 12. The number-6 and number-12 chromosomes of mother, father, and child are shown in the figure (the number 6 chromosomes are the larger pair): Child Mrs. Denton Mr. Denton a. Does either parent have an abnormal karyotype? If so, which parent has it, and what is the nature of the abnormality? b. How did the child's karyotype arise?

- The genotype of a Drosophila with a heterozygous translocation between chromosome 2 and chromosome 3 is shown below, where bw = brown eyes and e = ebony body: bw+ bw e Assume there is no crossing over in the female and that alternate = adjacent 1 = adjacent 2 disjunction. [Yes, these assumptions are incorrect, but they make the problem much easier!] Two individuals of the above genotype, i.e. both heterozygous for this 2;3 translocation and both heterozygous for bw (on chromosome 2) and e (on chromosome 3) are crossed. A (Only zygotes with balanced genomes will survive to adulthood. What proportion of F1 zygotes have a balanced genome? B. Draw the genotype(s) and state the phenotype(s) of the surviving progeny you mentioned in part A above. For each different genotype/phenotype indicate it's frequency among the surviving progeny.arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the X chromosomes may become attached to one another (XXn ) such that they always segregate together. Some flies thus contain a set of attached X chromosomes plus a Y chromosome. (a) What sex would such a fly be? Explain why this is so. (b) Given the answer to part (a), predict the sex of the off-spring that would occur in a cross between this fly and a normal one of the opposite sex. (c) If the offspring described in part (b) are allowed to interbreed, what will be the outcome?arrow_forwardA male Drosophila from a wild-type stock is discovered to have only 7 chromosomes, whereas normally 2n = 8. Close examination reveals that one member of chromosome IV (the smallest chromosome) is attached to (translocated to) the distal end of chromosome II and is missing its centromere, thus accounting for the reduction in chromosome number. (a) Diagram all members of chromosomes II and IV in the male fly during synapsis in meiosis I. b) If this male mates with a female with normal chromosomes composition, what chromosomes compositions will occur in their progeny? Describe the type of chromosomal aberration that may occur in their progeny and indicate chromosome number for each progeny produced.arrow_forward
- In a turtle species, a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell cycle contains 22 picograms of DNA (picogram is a measure of the total mass of the DNA present). How much DNA is present in a cell of the same species at prophase II of meiosis (prophase of the second meiotic division)?arrow_forwardIn rice, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Give the result(s) of the cross and explain the phenotype of the offspring.arrow_forwardIn Drosophila,, the curled mutation (cu, chromosome 3, position 50.0) results in wings that curl up, while ebony (e, chromosome 3, position 70.7) results in a dark body. True breeding, wild type females are mated with true breeding males with curled wings and ebony bodies. Considering Drosophila notation, which of the following correctly diagrams the P1 cross?

- In Drosophila, the genes for withered wings (whd), smooth abdomen (sm) and speck body (sp) are located on chromosome 2 and are separated by the following map distances:whd ----------(30.5)----------sm-----(15.5)-----spA female with withered wings and a smooth abdomen was mated to a male with a speck body.The resulting phenotypically wild-type females were mated with males that had the mutant phenotype for all three traits, producing 1000 offspring. Calculate the number of expected double crossover progeny. Express your answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forwardColchicine is a chemical mutagen that inhibits the spindle formation and prevents anaphase, which retains the cell’s single restitution nucleus (doubled chromosome number). Suppose that an onion (2n=16) is subjected to three consecutive rounds of colchicine treatment, what will be the resulting chromosome number of the treated onion?arrow_forwardIn Drosophila, the X-linked recessive mutation vermilion (v) causes bright red eyes, in contrast to the brick-red eyes of wild type. A separate autosomal recessive mutation, suppressor of vermilion (su-v), causes flies homozygous or hemizygous for v to have wildtype eyes. In the absence of vermilion alleles, su-v has no effect on eye color. Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypic ratios from a cross between a female with wild-type alleles at the vermilion locus, but who is homozygous for su-v, with a vermilion male who has wildtype alleles at the su-v locusarrow_forward
