- Variations in Chromosome NumberAneuploidy Describe the process of nondisjunction and explain when it takes place during cell division.arrow_forwardIn the following schematic drawing of a Holliday junction,one chromatid is shown in red, and the homologous chromatidis shown in blue. The red chromatid carries a dominant allelelabeled A and a recessive allele labeled b, whereas the blue chromatidcarries a recessive allele labeled a and a dominant allelelabeled B. Where would the DNA strands have to be cut to produce recombinantchromosomes? Would they be cut at sites 1 and 3, or at sites2 and 4? What would be the genotypes of the two recombinantchromosomes?arrow_forwardIn rice, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Give the result(s) of the cross and explain the phenotype of the offspring.arrow_forward
- An individual heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation possesses the following chromosomes: A B • C D E F G A B • C D V W X R S • T U E F G R S • T U V W X Q.

- An initial crossover event will occur between A and B, as indicated in the corresponding image. After this initial event occurs, a second crossover event occurs (not illustrated) involving the products of the first crossover event. a. Given this chromosome organization, A B c, A b c, a B C, and a b C, which two chromatids of the bivalent were involved chromatid 1 chromatid 2 chromatid 3 chromatid 4 and between which genes gene A gene B gene C did the second crossover event occur to produce the indicated chromosomes? b.

What is the lowest number in the table? What is the highest number? Most cells in plants are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes,so the number per nucleus should be doubled. How many chromosomes are present in each diploid potato nucleus? If a potato plant has 1 million cells, each with one diploid nucleus, how many chromosomes are present in the entire plant?arrow_forwardA diploid individual is heterozygous for a chromosome rearrangement. The original chromosome and its rearranged homolog have the following segments, where ∙ represents a centromere: A B ∙ C D E F G A B ∙ C F E D G While paired in prophase I, a single crossing-over occurs between segment E and segment D of the paired chromosomes. Describe the unusual crossing-over structure that forms as a result.What gamete types will result from crossing over when meiosis is complete? please asaparrow_forward
- In the plant, Haplopappus gracile there is one long pair and one short pair of chromosomes. In the diagrams below, anaphase of individual cells in meiosis or mitosis in a plant that is heterozygous for the genes, A and B (which are on separate chromosomes) are shown. The lines represent chromosomes or chromatids and the points of the "V" are the centromeres. For each case, indicate if the cell represents meiosis I, meiosis II, mitosis, or impossible situation.
