Question
A woman has two alleles of gene M (M and m), and two alleles of gene N (N and n). Both genes are
on the X chromosome. Below are some possible representations of her X chromosomes (#1, #2,
etc). Each line represents one X chromosome. The dot (.) represents the centromere.
Which of these representations correctly show(s) the possible locations of these genes
and alleles? Choose one or more.

iii. Non-homologous
to each other. Choose one.
C. How many copies of each allele of gene M are found in a cell that is in G2 phase?

D. During one mitosis event, the cohesin at the centromere of one X chromosome is cut
early, before metaphase. Does this increase the likelihood of producing a daughter cell with three X
chromosomes instead of two? Briefly explain your reasoning.
