CASE STUDY | Timing is everything
A man in his early 20s received chemotherapy and radiotherapy as treatment every 60 days for Hodgkin disease. After unsuccessful attempts to have children, he had his sperm examined at a fertility clinic, upon which multiple chromosomal irregularities were discovered. When examined within 5 days of a treatment, extra chromosomes were often present or one or more chromosomes were completely absent. However, such irregularities were not observed at day 38 or thereafter.
What is the obvious advice that the man received regarding fertility while he remained under treatment?

- Chromosomes and Genetics Name 1. Edward and Jenna had 4 children together. They have a few "interesting" traits, shall we say! Look at the chromosome combinations that each child received and list their genotype and phenotype. Key: D= long eyelashes B = brown eyes F= freckles G = vampire teeth T= tall W = werewolf fur d = short eyelashes b = red eyes f= no freckles g = no vampire teeth t = short w = no werewolf furarrow_forward. Hydatiform moles are growths of undifferentiated tissues that form within the uterus during an abnormalmolar pregnancy. These moles are usually made up ofXX diploid cells, although some can be XY diploids.Surprisingly, all of the DNA in the nuclei of the cellsin the mole is paternal in origin. Most hydatiformmoles are benign, but because they sometimes candevelop into cancers, these moles should be removedsurgically when they are detected.a. What kinds of events could lead to the generationof a hydatiform mole?b. Hydatiform moles are diploid cells with the normalnumbers of genes and chromosomes.

A diploid organism with 2N=8 would have 4 chromosomes in each gamete. b.) Homologous chromosomes do not pair up during asexual cell division. c.) Gametes have the same number of chromosomes as a somatic cell. d.) Cell division would not be possible without the work of DNA Polymerase. Pick one of the FALSE statements from the 4 previous questions and explain why it is incorrect.arrow_forwardHi! I would love to get some help on the box-and arrow model question! :) A male individual who is XYSRY has the following genotype for the AMH gene on chromosome 19: AMH1 AMH2. The AMH1 allele codes for a protein that is capable of binding to the receptor for AMH. The AMH2 allele codes for a protein that is unable to bind with the receptor for AMH. Based on your understanding of biology, what is the likely phenotype of this individual? Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes of which 22 pairs are autosomal and the 23rd pair is sex-linked.In a human female, the sex chromosome pair is represented as XX, whereas, in a human male, it is represented as XY.AMH is an anti-Mullerin hormone produced by the Sertoli cells in males and helps in the development of the sex organs. Each pair of chromosomes has a pair of genes called alleles at the same loci representing a single character. Each gene of an allele represents the expression of the character.A gene can either show expression or…arrow_forward
