Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 16P
The accompanying chromosome diagram represents a eukaryotic chromosome prepared with Giemsa stain. Indicate the heterochromatic and euchromatic regions of the chromosome, and label the chromosome’s centromeric and telomeric regions.
What term best describes the shape of this chromosome?
Do you expect the centromeric region to contain heterochromatin? Why or why not?
Why are expressed genes not found in the telomeric region of chromosomes?
Are you more likely to find the DNA sequence encoding the digestive enzyme amylase in a heterochromatic, euchromatic, centromeric or telomeric region? Explain your reasoning.

- In a germline progenitor cell before DNA replication (2N), a translocation occurred between a telocentric and submetacentric chromosome resulting in a translocation heterozygote. The location of the translocation is illustrated below. Draw the Prophase I pairing conformation that would result from this translocation. The four types of chromosomes you have now can be labeled as follows: T-WT (telocentric wild type), T-TL (telocentric translocation), SM-WT (submetacentric wild type), and SM-TL (submetacentric translocation). Using these labels, list (please do not draw) the possible outcomes of Anaphase I and the possible phenotypes for each outcome. Please explain your reasoning for each phenotype in a few words. asaparrow_forwardWould you expect to find active genes in regions of heterochromatin or euchromatinarrow_forwardDraw and label G1 and G2 stages of interphase and each stage of mitosis (in order) for a cell that has two large and two small chromosomes, 2n=4. For unreplicated chromosome draw a line ( / ) and for replicated chromosome draw an X. Since we are focusing on the DNA, you can skip drawing the nuclear membrane or spindle fibers. For simplicity, do not indicate that the chromosomes are decondensed chromatin during interphase. Mark and label a place on one of the large chromosomes with the dominant allele of the “A” gene and put the recessive allele “a” on the other homolog. Mark and label a place on one of the small chromosomes with allele “B” and put the recessive allele “b” on the other homolog.arrow_forward

- If a cell is deficient of Separase, how would this affect the chromosome dynamic during mitosis and meiosis? Explain.arrow_forwardColchicine is a chemical mutagen that inhibits the spindle formation and prevents anaphase, which retains the cell’s single restitution nucleus (doubled chromosome number).

- Here is a strawberry karyotype - ignore the different colours. How many chromosomes are shown in the figure? What is the ploidy of this type of strawberry? How many alleles could an individual strawberry have at each locus? Finally during the G2 stage of cell division, how many double helixes would be in this picture if you drew them over the chromosomes? Many domesticated plants are polyploid - give one possible reason why this might be the case, with a focus on using genetic principles to reason it out (i.e., you don't have to be right per se, you have to build an argument based on what you've already learned).arrow_forwardIf a cell is deficient of Separase, how would this affect the chromosome dynamic movement during mitosis and meiosis?
