6. A person is simultaneously heterozygous for two autosomal genetic traits. One is a recessive condition foralbinism (alleles A and a); this albinism gene is foundnear the centromere on the long arm of an acrocentricautosome. The other trait is the dominantly inheritedHuntington disease (alleles HD and HD+). TheHuntington gene is located near the telomere of oneof the arms of a metacentric autosome. Draw all copies of the two relevant chromosomes in this person asthey would appear during metaphase of (a) mitosis,(b) meiosis I, and (c) meiosis II. In each figure, labelthe location on every chromatid of the alleles forthese two genes, assuming that no recombinationtakes place.
