Question
Chapter 20, Problem 10CONQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The likelihood of gene conversion taking place either nearby or far away from the break-pointin recombinant chromosomes.
Introduction:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a genetic material that is found in almost all living organisms. DNA was discovered by Francis Crick and James Watson. This genetic material is responsible for the passing of traits from one generation to another. It has a double-stranded helical structure.

Colchicine 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?
Describe two forms of genetic recombination. What functions do they fulfill?
In a germline progenitor cell before DNA replication (2N), a translocation occurred between a telocentric and submetacentric chromosome resulting in a translocation heterozygote. The location of the translocation is illustrated below.
Draw the Prophase I pairing conformation that would result from this translocation.
The four types of chromosomes you have now can be labeled as follows: T-WT (telocentric wild type), T-TL (telocentric translocation), SM-WT (submetacentric wild type), and SM-TL (submetacentric translocation). Using these labels, list (please do not draw) the possible outcomes of Anaphase I and the possible phenotypes for each outcome. Please explain your reasoning for each phenotype in a few words.

- what is Mitotic Recombination?arrow_forwardIn each of the illustrations below, a segment of a chromosome has two copies of a transposable element. In panel a, they are oriented in the same direction, whereas in panel b they are in opposite directions. A double strand break occurs in element A and is repaired by homologous recombination using element B as a repair template. For each case, what will the chromosome look like after homologous recombination occurs? Choose one of the five options below, 1-5.arrow_forwardWhy is the entire donor chromosome seldom transferred?arrow_forward
- What is a chromosome walking?arrow_forwarda) Are the genes linked? Please explain SPECIFICALLY how you can distinguish between linked and unlinked genes in this instance. b) If the two genes are linked, calculate the % recombination between ser and thr. Show the formula used, as well as all of your calculations. c) Draw a single map illustrating the arrangement of the two genes on the chromosome with respect to each other and to the centromere of the chromosome. Make sure to map ALL three distances.arrow_forwardWhat is the advantage of genetic recombination, which is depicted in part (b)?arrow_forward
- Based on the attached image, if we are using the Holliday junction model of recombination, where exactly would be the positions where DNA is cut? Would it be to the right because of branch migration?arrow_forwardThe work of McClintock showed that the presence of a transposoncan create a mutable site or locus that is subject to frequent chromosomebreakage. Why do you think a transposon creates a mutable site? If chromosome breakage occurs, do you think the transposon has moved somewhere else? How would you experimentally determine if it has?arrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of chromosome painting?arrow_forward
