(i)Draw a diagram of Metaphase I and II of meiosis in the father, which illustrates the only possible way in which the father’s chromosomes could have aligned during Metaphase I, and in the subsequent Metaphase II in the same cell, in order to have resulted in the conception of the specific son who has all three of these genetic conditions (achondroplasia, color blindness and deafness). (ii) Then, in the final set of diagrams, show the specific genes and chromosomes present in each of the four gametes that would have resulted from this series of events during meiosis I and II in the father. (iii) Indicate which gamete or gametes produced by the father could have been involved in the son’s conception, by labeling the gamete(s) with an ARROW.
