a.
To explain:
The number of chromosomes in individual with allotriploidy including species I and II.
Introduction:
The chromosomal mutations not only involve the change in the structure of chromosome rather it also includes a change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy is the gain or deletion of one ormore individual chromosome. Polyploidy refers to a gain of the whole set of chromosomes. Polyploidy is of two types, namely- autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy.
a.

Explanation of Solution
Allotriploidy arises when a diploid gamete fuses with haploid gamete. There are two possibilities through which allotriploid can form. One possibility is that it inherits 1n from species I and 2n from species II, then the number of chromosomes will be as follows:
Number of chromosomes in species I, 2n=8n=82n=4
Number of chromosomes in species II, 2n=14Number of chromsomes in allotriploid species=(1n of species I+2n of species II)=4+14=18
The number of chromosomes in allotriploid individual including species I and species II if it inherits 1n from species I and 2n from species II is 18.
Another possibility is that it inherits 2n from species I and 1n from species II, then the number of chromosomes will be as follows:
Number of chromosomes in species I, 2n=8Number of chromosomes in species II, 2n=14n=142n=7
Number of chromsomes in allotriploid species=(2n of species I+n of species II)=8+7=15
The number of chromosomes in allotriploid individual if it inherits 2n from species I and 1n from species II is 15.
b.
To explain:
The number of chromosomes in individual with autotetraploidy in species II.
Introduction:
The chromosomal mutations not only involve the change in the structure of chromosome rather it also includes a change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy is the gain or deletion of one orthe more individual chromosome. Polyploidy refers to a gain of the whole set of chromosomes. Polyploidy is of two types, namely- autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy.
b.

Explanation of Solution
Autotetraploidy results when there occurs four copies of the whole set of chromosomes in individuals. The autotetraploid individual in species II will have a following number of chromosomes.
Number of chromosomes in species II, 2n=14n=74n=4×7Number of chromosomes in autotetraploid individual of species II=28
The number of chromosomes in autotetraploidindividual of species II will be 28.
c.
To explain:
The number of chromosomes in an individual with trisomy in species I.
Introduction:
The chromosomal mutations not only involve the change in the structure of chromosome rather it also includes a change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy is the gain or deletion of one ormore individual chromosome. Polyploidy refers to a gain of the whole set of chromosomes. Polyploidy is of two types, namely- autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy.
c.

Explanation of Solution
Trisomy is the addition of a single chromosome in the whole set of chromosomes. Addition of single chromosome refers to the gain of one extra homologous copy of individual chromosome. Trisomy is represented as 2n+1. The number of chromosomes in trisomicindividual of species I will be:
Number of chromosomes in species I, 2n=8Number of chromosomes in trisomic individual of species I=2n+1=8+1=9
The number of chromosomes in trisomicindividual of species I will be 9.
d.
To explain:
The number of chromosome in individual with monosomy in species II.
Introduction:
The chromosomal mutations not only involve the change in the structure of chromosome rather it also includes change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy is the gain or deletion of one ofmore individual chromosome. Polyploidy refers to gain of whole set of chromosomes. Polyploidy is of two types, namely- autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy.
d.

Explanation of Solution
Monosomy is the loss of one of the copies of the homologous chromosome. It is represented as 2n−1. So the number of chromosomes in individual with monosomy in species II will be as follows:
Number of chromosomes in species II, 2n=14Number of chromosomes in monosomic individual of species II=2n−1=14−1=13
The number of chromosome in individual with monosomy in species II will be 13.
e.
To explain:
The number of chromosome in individual with tetrasomy in species I.
Introduction:
The chromosomal mutations not only involve the change in the structure of chromosome rather it also includes change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy is the gain or deletion of one ofmore individual chromosome. Polyploidy refers to gain of whole set of chromosomes. Polyploidy is of two types, namely- autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy.
e.

Explanation of Solution
Tetrasomy is the acquiring of two nonhomologous chromosomes. It is represented as 2n+2. So the number of chromosome in tetrasomic individual will be
Number of chromosomes in species I, 2n=8Number of chromosomes in tetrasomic individual of species I=2n+2=8+2=10
The number of chromosome in individual with tetrasomy in species I will be 10.
f.
To explain:
The number of chromosome in individual with allotetraploidy including species I and species II.
Introduction:
The chromosomal mutations not only involve the change in the structure of chromosome rather it also includes change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy is the gain or deletion of one ofmore individual chromosome. Polyploidy refers to gain of whole set of chromosomes. Polyploidy is of two types, namely- autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy.
f.

Explanation of Solution
Allotetraploidy arises when a diploid gamete fuses with diploid gamete or a haploid gamete fuses with triploid gamete. The number of chromosomes in allotetraploid if it inherits 2n from species I and 2n from species II will be as follows:
Number of chromosomes in species I, 2n=8Number of chromosomes in species II, 2n=14Number of chromosomes in allotetraploid=2n+2n=8+14
Number of chromosomes in allotetraploid=22
There are two possibilities through which allotetraploid can form. The first possibility is that it inherits 3n from species I and 1n from species II, then the number of chromosomes will be as follows:
Number of chromosomes in species I, 2n=8n=82n=43n=12
Number of chromosomes in species II, 2n=14n=142n=7
Number of chromosomes in allotetraploid=3n+1n=12+7=19
The number of chromosomes in allotetraploid individual if it inherits 3n from species I and 1n from species II will be 19.
The second possibility is that it inherits 1n from species I and 3n from species II, then the number of chromosomes will be as follows:
Number of chromosomes in species I, 2n=8n=82n=4
Number of chromosomes in species II, 2n=14n=142n=73n=21
Number of chromosomes in allotetraploid=1n+3n=4+21=25
The number of chromosomes in allotetraploid individual if it inherits 1n from species I and 3n from species II will be 25.
Conclusion:
Autopolyploids are produced because of mistakes which might occur during mitosis or meiosis which results in the production of extra sets of chromosomes. Aneuploidy can be defined as the increase or decrease in the individual chromosome number. Aneuploidy might arise because of the loss of chromosome during mitosis or meiosis or nondisjunction of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids. There are four types of aneuploidy, namely- nullisomy, monosomy, trisomy, and tetrasomy.

Genetics: A Conceptual Approach
- "One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forwardIf four babies are born on a given day What is the chance all four will be girls?

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward
