Sketch a schematic diagram of a hypothetical chromosome 3 that has 3 regions with 2 bands each on the short arm and 5 regions with 3 bands each onthe long arm. Label the arms, regions, and bandsand indicate a gene at position 3p32.
A male Drosophila from a wild-type stock is discovered to have only 7 chromosomes, whereas
normally 2n = 8. Close examination reveals that one member of chromosome IV (the smallest
chromosome) is attached to (translocated to) the distal end of chromosome II and is missing its
centromere, thus accounting for the reduction in chromosome number. (a) Diagram all members of
chromosomes II and IV in the male fly during synapsis in meiosis I. b) If this male mates with a female
with normal chromosomes composition, what chromosomes compositions will occur in their progeny?
Describe the type of chromosomal aberration that may occur in their progeny and indicate
chromosome number for each progeny produced.

- We have discussed meiosis in yeast. One ascus e one melotic event. Two haploid yeast strains are crossed together, one wild type, the other mutant for 2 linked genes. The resulting diploid strain undergoes melosis eventually (=many meiotic events > many asci). A. What will the results be if the 2 genes are very far away from each other (certainly more than 50 map units)? B. What will the results be if the two genes are right next to each other, "no distance at all, zero distance"? (Explain your answers). Results here are patterns of asci and their percentages.
