For a species with a diploid number of 22, how many chromosomes will be present in the somatic nuclei of individuals that are haploid, tetraploid, trisomic, and monosomic.
For a species with a diploid number of 36, indicate how many chromosomes will be present in
the somatic nuclei of individuals that are triploid, tetraploid, monosomic and trisomic.
For an organism with 3 pairs of chromosomes (6 total chromosomes, 2n = 6), draw chromosome diagrams for the following phases of meiosis: prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II & telophase II. Be sure to draw the correct number of chromosomes and the correct number of chromatids per chromosome. Use a different color to represent each chromosome type (for example, use blue to indicate all copies of chromosome 1, red for all copies of chromosome 2, and green for all copies of chromosome 3).

- Consider a diploid organism that follows the XX-XO mode of sex determination. Normally, there are 7 chromosomes in its somatic cell. The chromosomal composition is as follows: Chromosome I is a large acrocentric chromosome Chromosome II is a large telocentric chromosome Chromosome III is a small telocentric chromosome Chromosome IV (X chromosome) is a medium submetacentric chromosome Aneuploidy was observed in a particular individual wherein there are three copies of Chromosome III. Diagram how aneuploidy may occur through Mitosis starting from a parent cell at G1 phase. Make sure to distinguish between chromosomes and the following phases of cell division (G1 phase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis).

- A certain species of animal has 18 chromosomes in its diploid cells (2n=18). Describe what the metaphase chromosome arrangement would look like for this species in each of the following stages: mitosis, meiosis I, and meiosis IIarrow_forwardMeiosis is characterized by the pairing of homologouschromosomes during prophase I. In many species, an elaboratestructure called the synaptonemal complex forms betweenhomologues. During this pairing, homologues may exchangechromosomal material at sites called chiasmata. In meiosis I, thehomologues separate from each other, reducing the chromosomenumber to the haploid state (thus the reductive division). It isfollowed by a second division without replication, during whichsister chromatids become separated. The result of meiosis I and IIis four haploid cells.

Therefore, there is a random “shuffle” of maternal and paternal chromosomes in the resulting gametes.The following diagram demonstrates how this works in a diploid cell with four chromosomes (2n=4) . Because there are two pairs of chromosomes and each pair can align in one of two ways during metaphase I, the number of possible variations in the gametes produced is 22 or 4.For an organism that is , there are three pairs of chromosomes, so the number of possible variations in the gametes produced due to independent assortment in metaphase I is 23 or 8. In an organism with a haploid number of 7, how many possible combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes can occur in its gametes? a. 72=49 b. 27=128 c.17=1 d. 214=16 384arrow_forwardif a species of animal has 18 chromosomes in its diploid cells (2n=18).
