- L, R, P and D are four genes located on the same chromosome in a diploid organism. Map distances between different pairs of genes were determined and the following results obtained. Based on these data, what is the order of the genes on the chromosome? D-R: 35 CM P-D: 5 CM L-R: 10 CM D-P: 30 CM D-L 25 CM P-R: 40 CM Note that only one orientation of the order is given as an answer choice. For example: ABCD has the same order as DCBA, but only ABCD would be listed as a possible answer. So be sure to check both orientations when comparing your gene order to the possible answer choices.

- For the following chromosome complements, what is the phenotypic sex of a person who has Q. XXY with the SRY gene deleted?arrow_forwardA boy with Down syndrome (trisomy 21) has 46 chromosomes. One parent and his two older sisters have a normal phenotype, but each have 45 chromosomes. a)Explain how this is possible. b)How many chromosomes do you expect to see in karyotypes of the parents? c)What term best describes this kind of chromosome abnormality? d)What is the probability the next child of this couple will have a normal phenotype and have 46 chromosomes? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardFamilial Down syndrome is similar to primary Down syndrome in that it is caused by trisomy 21. However, in familial Down syndrome, all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21 has translocated onto another autosome, typically chromosome 14. In cases of familial Down syndrome, one of the parents of the affected child is often a carrier of a translocated chromosome. The translocation carrier parent does not have Down syndrome because he or she has a total of two copies of chromosome 21. Suppose that a woman is a translocation carrier of chromosome 21 on chromosome 14. She conceives six zygotes with a man who carries no aneuploidies. Match the description of the chromosomes inherited by each zygote with the viability and phenotype of the zygote. ✓ Two normal copies of 14, two normal copies of 21 two normal copies of 21, one normal copy of 14 ✓one normal copy of 14, one 21 to 14 translocation, one normal copy of 21 ✓two normal copies of 14, one normal copy of 21, on 21 to 14…arrow_forward
