Summary Introduction
To review:
The micrograph of chromosomes using a cell from a person with Down syndrome.
Introduction:
The micrograph is a karyogram from a normal cell with 46 chromosomes where pairs of homologous chromosomes are arranged in descending order of size and position of centromere for the same chromosome size. Chromosomal abnormalities related to polyploidy and aneuploidy can be identified using karyogram.

The figure shown describes the technique of FISH. Why is it necessaryto fix the cells (and the chromosomes inside of them) to the slides?What does it mean to fix them? Why is it necessary to denature thechromosomal DNA?
A panel of cell lines was created by human–mouse somatic-cell hybridization. Each line was examined for the presence of human chromosomes and for the production of an enzyme. The following results were obtained:On the basis of these results, which chromosome has the gene that encodes the enzyme?
5) Below is an image that shows both reproductive and therapeutic cloning. Use this image to answer compare and contrast therapeutic and reproductive cloning. Are they used for similar means…etc. Once you have done that answer the question below.
a) There are two types of therapeutic cloning. What are they and how are they different?

The following results were obtained:arrow_forwardpuey drganlsm yo are working with has the following chromosomes. Place the chromosomes of this organism onto the cell below such that the diagram accurately shows a cell from this organism in metaphase of mitosis. Note 1: Only place chromosomes you need. You don't need them all. Note 2: You can place the 'Blank Box' image if you don't think you need a chromosome at a particular position. Dashed line - the metaphase plate 1.arrow_forwardIn 1997, Dolly the sheep was cloned by a technique called somatic-cell nuclear transfer (or nuclear-transfer cloning). A nucleus from an adult mammary cell was transferred into an egg from which the nucleus had been removed. The egg was allowed to divide several times in culture, then the embryo was transferred to a surrogate mother who gave birth to Dolly. Dolly died in 2003 after mating and giving birth herself to viable offspring. What does the creation of Dolly tell us about the potential of nuclear material derived from a fully differentiated adult cell? Does the creation of Dolly tell us anything about the potential of an intact, fully differentiated adult cell?arrow_forward
- According to the question，how do we know if we see more than 2 copies ，it indicate the cell is undergoing S phrase？How about when cell is undergoing mitosis？How many fluorescent spots would we see？？I am confused.arrow_forwardIn the picture below, what is the name of the labelled part of the chromosome? Please explain its function in full detailarrow_forwardYou are working with two different yeast cultures to study their genetics. But, you are not sure what the mating type of either of the yeast cultures is. (As a reminder, yeast mating types are either a or alpha). As a test, you mix the two cultures together and then observe them under a microscope. If this is the image that you see, what can you conclude about the mating types of the yeast? Explain your answer, including what type of cell morphology you see on this microscope slide.arrow_forward
- Please consider the figure below, parts A and B. A В Gene B Gene C Gene B Normal Gene A Chromosome 12 Normal Chromosome 1 Please consider figure A. a. Do these chromosomes come from a dividing or non-dividing cell? Give a reason for your answer. b. How many molecules of double stranded DNA will be present at anaphase I of a cell from this organism? Please consider figure B. A potentially carcinogenic mutation occurred on one of the chromosomes. The gene affected by the mutation codes for a protein involved in the repair of DNA damage. c. What is the correct term used to describe this chromosomal mutation? d. In terms of the development of cancer, is this a dominant or recessive mutation? e. What is the consequence of this mutation if it occurs during meiosis and is inherited by the offspring? Explain your answer in terms of the function of the protein.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Genetic Distance and Physical Distance? Use pictorial and tabular references to make your answer clear. Kindly also give an example of genetic and physical map like Drosophila, Yeast or Maize of any chromosome.arrow_forwardImagine that you need to run an experiment that requires you to alter the current genetic make of your organism. You have two options: using nitrite or acridine orange. Which one would you choose considering the effectiveness of the treatment and why? State in no more than 3 sentences.arrow_forward
- A panel of cell lines was created by human–mouse somatic-cell hybridization. Each cell line was examined for the presence of human chromosomes and for the production of three enzymes. The following results were obtained:On the basis of these results, give the chromosomal locations of the genes encoding enzyme 1, enzyme 2, and enzyme 3.arrow_forwardConsider Figure 7, which illustrates a point in DNA synthesis for one end of a chromosome, after the lengths of the chromosomes have been replicated, but before telomerase has functioned. (The other end of the chromosome is not shown. A and C mark the midpoint of the chromosome). Each long rectangle represents one strand of DNA. 1. State the locations below as the 5’ or 3’ ends. Location labeled B is: 5’ 3’ Not possible to determine and I have answered below. Location labeled D is: 5’ 3’ None of the above and I have explained my reasoning here.arrow_forwardIn an electrophoretic gel across which is applied a powerful electrical alternating pulsed field, the DNA of the haploid fungus Neurospora crassa (n = 7) moves slowly but eventually forms seven bands, which represent DNA fractions that are of different sizes and hence have moved at different speeds. These bands are presumed to be the seven chromosomes. How would you show which band corresponds to which chromosome?arrow_forward
