- The chromosomal theory of inheritance states that genes are on chromosomes. Therefore, any chromosomal abnormality will affect the number and location of genes therefore lead to the over- and under- expression of genes. Which of the following condition will NOT result in the over-expression of a gene? A. Trisomy 18 B. Triploidy 3n C. Monosomy X D. Duplication of a chromosome segmentarrow_forwardAn organism has two chromosomes only. Chromosome 1 has its centromere near one end and carries the A-locus. Chromosome 2 has its centromere at the centre and carries the B-locus. Consider a heterozygous with alleles A and B inherited from one parent and alleles a and b from the other parent. What does the following figure represent? a. Metaphase of meiosis I b. Metaphase of meiosis II c. Metaphase of mitosis d.

Draw the chromosomes at the following stages: a, anaphase of mitosis b. anaphase of the first meiotic division c, anaphase of the second meiotic division If the same chromosomes were involved in meiosis in a female, would the kind of egg nuclei produced be different from the sperm nuclei?

What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis? a. Mitosis results in two identical sister cells genetically identical to the original parent cell, while meiosis also starts with diploid but results in haploid cells. b. Mitosis only occurs in plants and single cell organisms, while meiosis only occurs in animals. c. Mitosis starts with diploid but results in haploid cells, while meiosis results in two identical sister cells genetically identical to the original parent cell.arrow_forward
- Sex-reversed females with XY were found to be missing SRY gene on their Y chromosomes, while sex-reversed males with XX were found to carry a portion of a Y chromosome that has the SRY gene. What can you conclude from these two cases? 1.Sex determination depends primarily on the combination of sex chromosomes and the presence of SRY gene. 2.X and Y chromosomes can’t pair up during meiosis because they are not true homologous chromosomes. 3.Nonreciprocal crossover could result in translocation of the SRY gene between X and Y chromosome. 4. The SRY gene has a key role to determine maleness. 5.The Y chromosome contains a gene that determine maleness.arrow_forwardExplain the process of the following: a.
