Summary Introduction

To explain: The possibility of genetic variation if crossing over is between paternal and maternal chromatids having the exactly similar alleles for every gene.

Concept introduction:

Crossing over is the process of exchange of gene segments among non-sister homologous chromatids. It forms recombinant chromosomes that contain genetic materials from both parents that generate genetic variation.

Students have asked these similar questions
. What is the total number of chromosomes this organism has? • What is the haploid number (n) of this organism? ID each unique shape with a number.... • Is this organism haploid, diploid, triploid, or tetraploid? Put the letter "a" by those chromosomes from one parent and the letter "b" by those from another. 11 • Draw in duplicated chromosomes now....imagine we're in prophase of mitosis... • What is the difference between • 5A vs. 5B? ● 5A vs. 5A copy?
MAKE CONNECTIONS Look at Figure 12.7 and imagine the twodaughter cells undergoing another round of mitosis, yielding four cells.Compare the number of chromosomes in each of those four cells, aftermitosis, with the number in each cell in Figure 13.8, after meiosis. Whatis it about the process of meiosis that accounts for this difference, eventhough meiosis also includes two cell divisions?
MAKE CONNECTIONS The ABO blood type locus hasbeen mapped on chromosome 9. A father who has typeAB blood and a mother who has type O blood have achild with trisomy 9 and type A blood. Using this information, can you tell in which parent the nondisjunctionoccurred? Explain your answer. (See Figures 14.11and 15.13.)
