- 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 normal mother has translocations on chromosomes 14:21. With respect to chromosomes 14:21, how many combinations of chromosomes are possible? How many gametes are viable? If the woman has children with an normal father, what is the probability that there is a daughter with Down Syndrome or a son with an unaffected phenotype?A man who is a carrier of a translocated 15/21 chromosome marries a genotypically normal woman. (1). Show the possible gametes that will be formed by this man if the translocated 15/21 chromosome synapses with chromosome 21 at Prophase I. (2). What is the probability that the first child of the couple will be a phenotypically normal girl? (3). What is the probability that the first child of the couple will be a genetically normal boy?
- With two pairs of homologous chromosomes, four kinds of gametes can be produced. How many kinds of gametes can be produced with three pairs of homologous chromosomes? What does this suggest for the 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes in human cells?A prairie grass species called "little bluestem" is tetraploid. It has four complete sets of chromosomes. There are ten kinds of chromosomes; in other words, each complete set of chromosomes has a total of 10 chromosomes. A single somatic cell (e.g., a cell in a leaf) will have 40 chromosomes, 4 of each kind of chromsome, i.e., 4 of the number 1 chromsome, 4 of the number 2 chromsome, etc. The illustration below shows prophase of meiosis 1 in chromosome number 10. In a diploid cell, there would be one tetrad (group of 4 chromatids) for each kind of chromosome. For example, there would be one tetrad for chromosome 8, one for chromsome 9, etc. When the tetraploid little bluestem undergoes meiosis, how many of chromosome number 10 will each sperm cell carry?A diploid organism has five pairs of chromosomes in each somatic cell. Assuming that no crossing over occurs, how many genetically distinct gametes can this organism produce?
- Two phenotypically normal parents produce a phenotypically abnormal child in which chromosome 5 is missing part of its long arm but has a piece of chromosome 7 attached to it. The child also has one normal copy of chromosome 5 and two normal copies of chromosome 7. With regard to chromosomes 5 and 7, what do you think are the chromosomal compositions of the parents? Would it most likely be reciprocal translocation? It wouldn't be simple translocation because then the child would have the entirety of one chromosome and only some of the other, but in this case, there is only partial chromosome 5 and chromosome 7?A phenotypically normal woman has an abnormally structured chromosome 2, along with a normal homologue. She marries a phenotypically normal man with an abnormally structured chromosome 16 and a normal homologue. What is the probability of their child will have an abnormal chromosome 2 and 16? What is the probability that this child, having inherited both abnormal chromosomes, will now pass both abnormal chromosomes to its children?In a sample of 1000 patients with Down syndrome, a geneticist discovers that 95% of them are trisomic, while 5% have diploid number of chromosomes. Explain this discrepancy.
- Considering an organism with three pairs of homologous chromosomes, how many different kinds of gametes can this organism produce based on different chromosomal arrangements? Assume that the members of each pair are not identical?If each gene is located on a specific chromosome and that chromosome has two pairs (homologous chromosomes), how does each chromosome represent one allele and why do you label each chromatid with the same allele?The duck billed platypus is an unusual mammal. If you examine the sex chromosomes of a female platypus you will find a total of 10 X chromosomes. Examining a male platypus finds 5 X chromosomes and 5 Y chromosomes. No other combinations are seen. Each of these five X chromosomes is unique as is each Y chromosome (i.e. X1 pairs only with X1 or Y1, X2 with X2 or Y2 and so on). Why is this unusual? What unusual event must happen during meiosis in a male platypus? (Think carefully about what happens in meiosis 1)
