Variations in Chromosome NumberAneuploidy Describe the process of nondisjunction and explain when it takes place during cell division.
During a practical, a group of biology students are tasked to study the cell cycle of an insect. This insect has the karyotype 2n=6, with genotype Aa Bb Ee HH. The students must draw a G2 cell about to enter meiosis, using red lines for maternal chromosomes, blue lines for paternal chromosomes and black dots to represent centromeres. The drawing provided by the students is shown below. a) Identify three mistakes the students made when producing this diagram. In your answer only refer to elements already present in the figure. (3) b) This fly is used in a testcross. What is the probability of producing a fly with genotype Aa bb ee Hh?
For each of the terms in the left column, choose thebest matching phrase in the right column.a. reciprocal translocation 1. lacking one or morechromosomes or having oneor more extra chromosomesb. gynandromorph 2. movement of short DNAelementsc. pericentric 3. having more than two completesets of chromosomesd. paracentric 4. exact exchange of parts of twononhomologous chromosomese. euploids 5. excluding the centromeref. polyploidy 6. including the centromereg. transposition 7. having complete sets ofchromosomesh. aneuploids 8. mosaic combination of maleand female tissue
Explain two ways that a chromosomal rearrangement can cause a position effect.
We have discussed meiosis in yeast. One ascus e one melotic event. Two haploid yeast strains are crossed together, one wild type, the other mutant for 2 linked genes. The resulting diploid strain undergoes melosis eventually (=many meiotic events > many asci). A. What will the results be if the 2 genes are very far away from each other (certainly more than 50 map units)? B. What will the results be if the two genes are right next to each other, "no distance at all, zero distance"? (Explain your answers). Results here are patterns of asci and their percentages. Like for example "50% tetratypes, 0% ditypes", etc. If you forgot what a ditype or a tetratype is, you can illustrate them like that.
a. Manually, using a pencil, draw a cell in anaphase II from an organism in which 2n = 2 and each chromosome is metacentric. b. Given that each G1 nucleus from this organism contains 16 picograms of DNA, how many picograms of chromosomal DNA would you expect in the cell shown here?
A somatic cell has the genotype DdEe. All chromosomes in this organism are metacentric. Show metaphase and the results of mitosis if the D and E locus are linked on the same chromosome in trans configuration. A sexually reproducing organism has the following phenotype DdEeAaTt: The D and E loci are on the same arm of a metacentric chromosome in cis configuration. The A locus is on the long arm of an acrocentric chromosome and the T locus is on a telocentric chromosome. 2.1. What is the haploid number of this organism? 2.2. Using diagrams show a ceii at metaphase of mitosis and show the results of mitosis.
In a turtle species, a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell cycle contains 22 picograms of DNA (picogram is a measure of the total mass of the DNA present). How much DNA is present in a cell of the same species at prophase II of meiosis (prophase of the second meiotic division)?
Somatic cells in organisms of a certain diploid plant species normally have 14 chromosomes. The chromosomes in the gametes are numbered from 1 through 7. Rarely, zygotes are formed that contain more or fewer than 14 chromosomes. A zygote that has the chromosome composition 111 22 33 44 555 66 77 is 1. A.) Anueploid or B.)Euploid , and its chromosome complement can be described as 2. A). trisomic , B.)allotriploid , C. autotriploid for chromosomes 1 and 5. Pick the correct letter for 1 and 2.
Colchicine is a chemical mutagen that inhibits the spindle formation and prevents anaphase, which retains the cell’s single restitution nucleus (doubled chromosome number). Suppose that an onion (2n=16) is subjected to three consecutive rounds of colchicine treatment, what will be the resulting chromosome number of the treated onion?
Map distances were determined for four differentgenes (MAT, HIS4, THR4, and LEU2) on chromosome III of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae:HIS4 ↔ MAT 37 cMTHR4 ↔ LEU2 35 cMLEU2 ↔ HIS4 23 cMMAT ↔ LEU2 16 cMMAT ↔ THR4 20 cMWhat is the order of genes on the chromosome?
