Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 29ESP
A 3-year-old child exhibited some early indication of Turner syndrome, which results from a 45,X chromosome composition. Karyotypic analysis demonstrated two cell types: 46,XX (normal) and 45,X. Propose a mechanism for the origin of this mosaicism.

- A chromosome of genotype C D recombines with a homolog of genotype c d during meiosis when Spo11 produces a double-strand break between genes C and D. If anticrossover helicase disentangles the invading strand, the likely outcome would be A) two C D and two c d gametes. B) two C d and two c D gametes.

The lines represent the chromosomes themselves. The letters indicate the location of a particular version of a gene. a) T/F An individual’s offspring are more likely to inherit a D1 and R together than a D1 and T9 together. b) T/F About 50% of the egg cells from this individual will have both T9 and BA5. c) T/F Because r is recessive, the frequency at which the r version of the gene occurs in a population is lower than the frequency at which the R version occurs in the population. d) T/F If the protein produced by the BA gene is involved in the formation of ovaries, then the BA gene is likely located on a sex chromosome. e) T/F Because the genes shown here are found in skin cells, these genes code for proteins required for skin cell function.arrow_forward
