**Chromosome Banding and Meiosis: Educational Overview****Text Explanation:**Chromosome banding in eukaryotes has advanced our understanding of cytogenetic events. Banding polymorphisms, or "morphs," are variations in chromosomes discernible by differences in band size, position, and scale. These morphs serve as chromosome markers. This text examines chromosome 21 in humans, assuming parents are composed of 21ᵃ21ᵇ (female) and 21ᶜ21ᵈ (male), where a, b, c, and d signify morphs of chromosome polymorphism. An example case is provided where the female has a chromosomal composition of 42A + 21ᵃ21ᶜ21ᶜ + XX.**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram illustrates the process of meiosis for chromosome 21 in both the mother (left) and father (right).- **Interphase [Show Condensed]:** The starting point where chromosomes are condensed before DNA replication. - **After DNA Replication:** Chromosomes are duplicated, preparing the cell for meiosis. - **After Meiosis I:** The first meiotic division resulting in two cells, each with a set of chromosomes divided from the original duplicated pair. - **Gametes:** The final stage showing the production of gametes. For the mother, this results in two gametes. For the father, also resulting in two gametes with different morph combinations.The event scenario mentioned results in gametes with the composition 21ᵃ21ᶜ21ᶜ, showing how chromosome banding polymorphisms can be traced across generations.

The figure is showing trisomy of chromosome 21.

11. The discovery of chromosome banding in eukaryotes has greatly improved our ability to distinguish various cytogenetic events. Particularly useful are "banding" polymorphisms because the "morphs" can be used as chromosome markers. (These morphs are forms of chromosome that are cytologically distinguishable by virtue of minor variations in band size, position, etc). Let's çonsider chromosome 21 in humans. Assume that one set of parents are: 21 21º (female) x 21°21° where a, b, c and d represent “morphs" (male), a polymorphism for this chromosome. In each case: State the genetic term for the condition (if possible), diagram the event(s) that gave rise to the condition, and state in which individual the event(s) took place. d. 42A + 21°21c21c + XX dad MII Interphase [show condensed]: Interphase [show condensed]: Diagram

Part A You start your experiments with the eyeless mutation on chromosome IV. You cross the reciprocal translocation strain to the eyeless pure line to generate F, flies that are both translocation heterozygotes and Ee heterozygotes. You decide to testcross F, males and females in two separate experiments to take advantage of the fact that crossing over does not occur in male Drosophila. F, males x pure eyeless females (Note: There is no crossing over F, females x pure eyeless males (Note: Crossing over in the F, males.) Cross may occur in the F, females.) 4 eyeless, fully fertile 4 wild-type, semi-sterile 4 eyeless, semi-sterile 4 wild-type, fully fertile 4 eyeless, fully fertile 4 wild-type, semi-sterile 4 eyeless, semi-sterile 4 wild-type, fully fertile F, Progeny What can you conclude from these results?

A pair of paralogous repeats, A and B, have 96% sequence similarity and therefore can promote non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR). They exist in four possible arrangements in a genome, illustrated below as arrangements 1 – 4. What is the result of NAHR between repeats A and B in arrangement 1? A.Translocation between chromosomes 1 and 2 resulting in monocentric chromosomes B.Deletion or duplication of the region between A and B C.Translocation between chromosomes 1 and 2 resulting in acentric and dicentric chromosomes D.Inversion of the region between A and B
(a) A person with Down syndrome. She has 47 chromosomes rather than the common number of 46, because she has an extra copy of chromosome 21. (b) A wheat plant. Cultivated wheat is derived from the contributions of threewild species with two sets of chromosomes each, producing an organismwith six sets of chromosomes.Do these examples constitute variation in chromosomestructure or variation in chromosome number?
