Concept explainers
To analyze:
Does homologous recombination always result in the formation of Heteroduplex DNA? Why or Why not?
Introduction:
Heteroduplex is a double-stranded DNA molecule of
In meiosis, the crossover happens between two non-sister chromatids that contributes forincrease in different allelic combinations and gametes.
The tetrad formation in Prophase
A source of small RNAs (miRNAs, siRNAs, etc.) is Heteroduplex DNA, that play vital roles in post-transcriptional silencing.

- An individual is heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, with the following chromosomes: A • B C D E F A • B C V W X R ST • U D E F R ST • U V W X Q. Draw the products of alternate, adjacent-1, and adjacent-2 segregations.arrow_forwardwhat is Homologous Recombination at the DNA Levelarrow_forwardDescribe two forms of genetic recombination. What functions do they fulfill?arrow_forward
- The following diagram represents two nonhomologous chromosomes: A B • C D E F G R S • T U V W X What type of chromosome mutation would produce of the following groups of chromosomes? Q. A B • C D R S • T U V W X E F Garrow_forwardIn 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_forwardWhy is random assortment of chromosomes necessary? What can we expect if this does not occur?arrow_forward
