Need help with the diagram
The STR DNA marker DS11 is located on the p arm of the chromosome #8 in humans. Molecular analysis has shown that Charlie Chaplin is a heterozygote for the STR marker (genotype DS11A and DS11B)
Using this knowledge, provide a diagram of meiosis showing only the movements of chromosome 8 (assume no nondisjunction). Throughout, indicate where the marker may be found (in other words, label the chromosome to show where the STR markers can be found. please only show the chromosomes at interphase, metaphase 1, end of meiosis 1, metaphase 2, and end of meiosis 2.
In Drosophila, an X-linked recessive mutation, scalloped (sd),causes irregular wing margins. Diagram the F1 and F2 resultsif (a) a scalloped female is crossed with a normal male; (b) ascalloped male is crossed with a normal female. Compare theseresults to those that would be obtained if the scalloped gene wereautosomal.
. Genomes A, B, and C all have basic chromosomenumbers (x) of nine. These genomes were derivedoriginally from plant species that had diverged from each other sufficiently far back in the evolutionarypast that the chromosomes from one genome can nolonger pair with the chromosomes from any other genome. For plants with the following kinds of euploidchromosome complements, (i) state the number ofchromosomes in the organism; (ii) provide terms thatdescribe the individual’s genetic makeup as accurately as possible; (iii) state whether or not it is likelythat this plant will be fertile, and if so, give the number of chromosomes (n) in the gametes.a.

- Discuss Concepts One of the human chromosome pairs carries a gene that influences eye color. In an individual human, one chromosome of this pair has an allele of this gene that contributes to the formation of blue eyes. The other chromosome of the pair has an allele that contributes to brown eye color (other genes also influence eye color in humans). After meiosis in the cells of this individual, what fraction of the nuclei will carry the allele that contributes to blue eyes? To brown eyes?arrow_forwardLinkage Mapping Using a Trihybrid Testcross in Fruit Flies Remember the black, purple, and vestigial genes from Exercise 1? Now you're going to have to construct a map of the same region from trihybrid testcross data. The new map should be similar to the one from Exercise 1, but it won't be identical because we're starting with a new, independent data set. BLACK PURPLE VESTIGIAL TRIHYBRID TESTCROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (bl+/bl*pu*/pu+vg+/vg+ with a pure-breeding black, purple, vestigial male (bl/bl;pu/pu vg/vg) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (bl/bliput/pu;vg+/vg). Note that the F1 flies are all trihybrid. Next, you mate several F1 trihybrid females (bl/bl:put/pu;vg+/vg) with tester males, which are black, purple, vestigial (bl/bl;pu/pu;vg/vg). The offspring of this trihybrid testcross are: Phenotype Wild-type Black, purple, vestigial Vestigial Black, purple Purple, vestigial Black Purple Black, vestigial bl pu vg bl pu…arrow_forwardNeed help with question: - if a nucleus has 12 chromosomes when it begins meiosis, how may chromosomes dose it have after telophase I ?

- consider the metaphase (mitosis) chromosome spread of the following related animal species. The first meiotic division in the hybrid animal shows a mixture of paired and single chromosomes. Why do you suppose this occurs?

The three genes are located close together on the same chromosome. Your task is to use data from three dihybrid testcrosses to (1) calculate recombination frequencies, (2) convert recombination frequencies into map distances, and (3) build a map of the chromosome interval covered by the three genes, indicating their order and distances between them. BLACK PURPLE DIHYBRID CROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (bl+/blt;put/pu+) with a pure-breeding black, purple male (bl/bl;pu/pu) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (bl+/bl;pu*/pu).
