SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY The diagram in quest ion 6 represents just a few of the chromosomes of a meiotic cell in a certain person. Assume the freckles gene is located at the locus marked F, and the hair-color gene is located at the locus marked H, both on the long chromosome. The individual from whom this cell was taken has inherited different alleles for each gene ("freckles" and "black hair" from one parent, and "no freckles" and "blond hair" from the other). Predict allele combinations in the gametes resulting from this meiotic event. (It will help if you draw out the rest of meiosis and label the alleles by name.) List other possible combinations of these alleles in this individual’s gametes.

- Meiosis Explains Mendels Results: Genes Are on Chromosomes The following diagram shows a hypothetical diploid cell. The recessive allele for albinism is represented by a, and d represents the recessive allele for deafness. The normal alleles for these conditions are represented by A and D, respectively. a. According to the principle of segregation, what is segregating in this cell? b. According to Mendels principle of independent assortment, what is independently assorting in this cell? c. How many chromatids are in this cell? d. Write the genotype of the individual from whom this cell was taken. e. What is the phenotype of this individual? f. What stage of cell division is represented by this cell (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, or telophase of meiosis I, meiosis II, or mitosis)? g. After meiosis is complete, how many chromatids and chromosomes will be present in one of the four progeny cells?arrow_forwardMeiosis Explains Mendels Results: Genes Are on Chromosomes Discuss the pertinent features of meiosis that provide a physical correlate to Mendels abstract genetic laws of random segregation and independent assortment.arrow_forwardThe chromosome constitution number of this individual is 2=6.

- In human spermatogenesis, mitosis of a stem cell gives rise to one cell that remains a stem cell and one cell that becomes a spermatogonium. Draw four rounds of mitosis for a stem cell and label; the daughter cells. For one spermatogonium, draw the cells it would produce from one round of mitosis followed by meiosis. Label the cells, and label mitosis and meiosis. What would happen if stem cells divided like spermatogonia?arrow_forwardGerm cells are specialized cells that develop into gametes. Gametes are produced through the process of meiosis. If the haploid number for monkeys is 27 chromosomes, how many chromosomes does a cell undergoing division have at each of the following phases?
