Why would the supercoiled, condensed formof chromosomes seen in metaphase not besuitable for the G1 phase of the cell cycle?Why would the finely dispersed chromatinof the G1 phase not be suitable for mitosis?
Over a period of two years, a man in his early 20s receiveda series of intermittent chemotherapy and radiotherapytreatments for Hodgkin disease. During this therapy, heand his wife were unable to initiate a pregnancy. The man had aseries of his semen samples examined at a fertility clinic. The findings revealed that shortly after each treatment very few mature sperm were present, and abnormal chromosome numbers were often observed in developing spermatocytes. However, such chromosome abnormalities disappeared about 40 days after treatment, and normal sperm reappeared about 74 days posttreatment. Prior to treatment, should the physician(s) involved have beenethically obligated to recommend genetic counseling? Whatadvice regarding fertility might have been suggested?
Why is a chromosome with two centromeres (adicentric chromosome) unstable? Would a backup cen-tromere not be a good thing for a chromosome, giving ittwo chances to form a kinetochore and attach to microtu-bules during mitosis? Would that not help to ensure thatthe chromosome did not get left behind at mitosis?
Somatic cells in organisms of a particular diploidplant species normally have 14 chromosomes. Thechromosomes in the gametes are numbered from 1through 7. Rarely, zygotes are formed that containmore or fewer than 14 chromosomes. For each of thezygotes below, (i) state whether the chromosomecomplement is euploid or aneuploid; (ii) provideterms that describe the individual’s genetic makeupas accurately as possible; and (iii) state whether ornot the individual will likely develop through theembryonic stages to make an adult plant, and if so,whether or not this plant will be fertile.a. 11 22 33 44 5 66 77b. 111 22 33 44 555 66 77c. 111 222 333 444 555 666 777d. 1111 2222 3333 4444 5555 6666 7777

Carbon Copy (CC), the first cat produced from aclone, was created from an ovarian cell taken from hergenetic donor, Rainbow, a calico cat. The diploid nucleusfrom the cell was extracted and then injected into an enucleatedegg. The resulting zygote was then allowed to developin a petri dish, and the cloned embryo was implanted inthe uterus of a surrogate mother cat, who gave birth to CC.CC’s surrogate mother was a tabby (see the photo below).Geneticists were very interested in the outcome of cloninga calico cat because they were not certain if the cloned catwould have patches of orange and black, just orange, orjust black. Taking into account the Lyon hypothesis, explainthe basis of the uncertainty. Would you expect CC to appearidentical to Rainbow? Explain why or why not.
Explain why nondisjunction of sex chromosomes is more well-tolerated thannondisjunction in autosomes, even though genetic nondisjunction of sex chromosomes usually results in sterility and abnormalities of sex organs.
Is it more indicated for ageneticist desiring to map theX chromosome of the motherof a given family (theresearcher does not haveaccess to her DNA, only accessto the genetic material of theoffspring) to analyze thechromosomes of herdaughters or of her sons?
Fragile-X syndrome causes the most common form of inherited intellectual disability. What is the chromosomal abnormality associated with this disorder? What is the phenotype of this disorder?
Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits The X and Y chromosomes are structurally and genetically distinct. However, they do pair during meiosis at a small region near the tips of their short arms, indicating that the chromosomes are homologous in this region. If a gene lies in this region, will its pattern of transmission be more like that of a sex-linked gene or an autosomal gene? Why?
Describe the critical events of mitosis that are responsible for ensuring that each daughter cell receives a full set of chromosomes from the parent cell.
