Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 13TYU
SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Butterflies have an X-Y sex determination system that is different from that of flies or humans. Female butterflies may be either XY or XO, while butterflies with two or more X chromosomes are males. This photograph shows a tiger swallowtail gynandromorph, an individual that is half male (left side) and half female (right side). Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, propose a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the first mitosis might have produced this unusual-looking butterfly.

Fill in the cells below showing the NORMAL process of meiosis of the male's sex chromosomes (XY – the
X and Y are representing the entire chromosome, and remember X and Y act like a homologous pair). DO
NOT show crossing over.

What are the possible normal gametes produce after meiosis division? Identify the possible sex of the
offspring if these normal sperm cells are fertilized by the egg cell.

- Meiosis DrawingIn this assignment you will track and draw the chromosomes of a diploid organism through all the stages of meiosis. Make sure you label the alleles for genes on the chromosomes the whole way through - every chromatid should have labeled alleles. For meiosis, both crossing over and independent assortment can occur. For the purpose of this exercise, assume that there is a single crossover event on the long chromosome between the A and D genes. Only show crossing over after its fully occured. There are no crossover events on the short chromosome. Regarding independent assortment, there are two possible outcomes in meiosis if there are two homologous pairs of chromsomes. Include both independent assortment possibilities - one on the left side and one on the right. Fill in the possible gamete genotypes for each outcome. If you do this correctly you should end up with 8 different types of gametes.arrow_forwardMeiosis DrawingIn this assignment you will track and draw the chromosomes of a diploid organism through all the stages of meiosis.
