Chapter 9.7, Problem 3MC
Draw a diagram to show how nondisjunction of all chromosomes during meiosis I in one parent could lead to polyploidy offspring. Use 2n = 6 for the starting cells; assume the other parent’s gametes contribute the normal number of chromosomes?

Construct a table for the different stages of meiosis, giving the number of chromosomes per cell and the number of DNA molecules per cell for a cell that begins with 4 chromosomes (two homologous pairs) in G1. Include the following stages in your table: G1, S, G2, prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I (after cytokinesis), prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II (after cytokinesis).

1. A color-blind man married a normal woman. Their daughter, who was phenotypically normal, married
a normal man and the couple produced three children, a normal boy, a color-blind boy, and a color-blind
girl with Turner syndrome. Explain the origin of the color-blind girl with Turner syndrome.
Consider a diploid cell that has 2n = 4 chromosomes: one pair of metacentric chromosomes and one pair of acrocentric chromosomes. Suppose that this cell undergoes nondisjunction, giving rise to an autotriploid cell (3n). The triploid cell then undergoes meiosis. Draw the different types of gametes that could result from meiosis in the triploid cell, showing the chromosomes present in each type. To distinguish between the different metacentric and acrocentric chromosomes, use a different color to draw each metacentric chromosome; similarly, use a different color to draw each acrocentric chromosome.
