Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.

A diploid organism produces four gametes from one parent cell through the process of meiosis. Two gametes are found to have 7 chromosomes and two gametes are found to have 5 chromosomes. A) Is this the expected number of chromosomes that would be found in each gamete following a normal cycle of meiosis? If yes, explain why. If no, explain why not and describe how the gamete situation described above occurred. B) Determine the number of homologous chromosome pairs that the original parent cell contained, before meiosis began. Explain how you determined this value.

What is the number of sex chromosomes in male honey bees? We know that the chromosome set of males in honey bees is 1n and the chromosome set of female honeys is 2n, and based on this, the number of autosomal chromosomes in male honeybees is 16 chromosomes, and the number of autosomal chromosomes in female honey is 32 chromosomes, but if The male was haploid (1n) Will this make the number of autosomes equal to the number of sex chromosomes?
