Men have XY (or YX) chromosomes and women have XX chromosomes. X-linked recessive genetic diseases (such as juvenile retinoschisis) occur when there is a defective X chromosome that occurs without a paired X chromosome that is not defective. Represent a defective X chromosome with lowercase x, so a child with the xY or Yx pair of chromosomes will have the disease and a child with XX or XY or YX or xX or Xx will not have the disease. Each parent contributes one of the chromosomes to the child. Complete parts a through d below. a. If a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good XX chromosomes, what is the probability that a son will inherit the disease? nothing (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. If a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good XX chromosomes, what is the probability that a daughter will inherit the disease? nothing (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) c. If a mother has one defective x…
A cell has four pairs of chromosomes. Assuming that crossing over does not occur, what is the probability that a gamete will contain all of the paternal chromosomes? If n equals the number of chromosomes in a set, which of the following expressions can be used to calculate the probability that a gamete will receive all of the paternal chromosomes: (1/2)n, (1/2)n–1, or n1/2?
A female is heterozygous for an X-linked gene. If nondisjunction happens for the sex chromosomes during Meiosis II, one aneuploid gamete would contain: two copies of the X chromosome that are identical two copies of the X chromosome that are not identical two copies of the X chromosome that are identical and a Y chromosome an X chromosome and a Y chromosome
A couple comes into a fertility clinic. A chromosome preparation is made for each and the male is found to have an aberrant karyotype. He is heterozygous for two sets of reciprocal translocations involving four different chromosome pairs. What proportion of his gametes are expected to be functional and viable?
The picture below represents a G1 cell from a newly discovered species that uses the X/Y sex determination system. Alleles for the different autosomal genes of interest are indicated on the chromosomes, and genes R and T are 36 cM apart. Red lines show maternal chromosomes, and blue lines show paternal chromosomes. Answer the following questions about this individual. g|G a) This individual can produce a pool of different gametes. List any TWO potential gametes that will occur at different frequencies. Give the alleles of each gamete contained within a set of brackets, and indicate the expected frequency (up to two decimals) at which that gamete would occur. b) Name any two loci in this individual that can result in recombination in the gametes via the process of independent assortment. c) What is the sex of this individual? Justify your answer. d) Give the term that will describe the morphology of the chromosome that carries the R/T alleles. e) Provide the genotype of the fertilizing…
