Describe the imbalance in gene products that occurs in an individual with monosomy 2.
A gene has 3 alleles. How many different genotypes are possible in this locus in a diploid organism?
Consider the true diploid plant cell (2n=4) below. The paternally derived blue chromosomesare of two types, metacentric and acrocentric. These chromosomes contain the same gene pattern andstructural features as the maternally derived purple chromosomes. Consider two genes A and B whichare found on the metacentric and acrocentric chromosome pairs, respectively. Assume the father passedon A and B alleles, and the mother passed on a and b alleles. a. Show the possible loci of these genes (specify alleles) on the image. Label both sister chromatids in each chromosome. (Note: Sister chromatids are products of replication.)b. Draw the four possible gametes formed after meiosis assuming there was no crossing over. Label the gene loci.
A somatic cell has the genotype DdEe. All chromosomes in this organism are metacentric. Show metaphase and the results of mitosis if the D and E locus are linked on the same chromosome in trans configuration. A sexually reproducing organism has the following phenotype DdEeAaTt: The D and E loci are on the same arm of a metacentric chromosome in cis configuration. The A locus is on the long arm of an acrocentric chromosome and the T locus is on a telocentric chromosome. 2.1. What is the haploid number of this organism? 2.2. Using diagrams show a ceii at metaphase of mitosis and show the results of mitosis.
