a.
To determine:
The phrase that describes “reciprocal translocation” among the options given below.
| 1. lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes |
| 2. movement of short DNA elements |
| 3. having more than two complete sets of chromosomes |
| 4. exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes |
| 5. excluding the centromere |
| 6. including the centromere |
| 7. having complete sets of chromosomes |
| 8. mosaic combination of male and female tissue |
Introduction:
When the segments of the chromosomes move to the new part or location in the chromosomal segments, it is called translocation.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Reciprocal translocation: Exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes
Explanation of Solution
There are many types of chromosomal aberration, such as duplication, deletion, and many more. Translocation is also an important type of chromosomal aberration in which the chromosome segment moves to a new location within the genome.
The pair of chromosomes that have genes with different alleles are termed as non-homologous chromosomes. Reciprocal translocation is a type of translocation in which chromosome segments are exchanged between two non-homologous chromosomes.
Thus, the term that is most appropriate for “exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes” is reciprocal translocation.
b.
To determine:
The phrase that describes “gynandromorph” among the options given below.
| 1. lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes |
| 2. movement of short DNA elements |
| 3. having more than two complete sets of chromosomes |
| 4. exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes |
| 5. excluding the centromere |
| 6. including the centromere |
| 7. having complete sets of chromosomes |
| 8. mosaic combination of male and female tissue |
Introduction:
Tissue of the male and female can be represented in the mosaic combination and leads to the production of gynandromorph.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Gynandromorph: Mosaic combination of male and female tissue
Explanation of Solution
There are certain chances that the female loses an X chromosome during mitosis. This leads to the production of gynandromorph. The mosaic combination of equal amount of male and female tissues is termed as gynandromorphy. Thus, the term that describes “mosaic combination of male and female tissue” is gynandromorph.
c.
To determine:
The phrase that describes “pericentric” among the options given below.
| 1. lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes |
| 2. movement of short DNA elements |
| 3. having more than two complete sets of chromosomes |
| 4. exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes |
| 5. excluding the centromere |
| 6. including the centromere |
| 7. having complete sets of chromosomes |
| 8. mosaic combination of male and female tissue |
Introduction:
Various types of inversions of chromosomes can be seen depending on the inclusion or exclusion of the centromere.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Pericentric: Including the centromere
Explanation of Solution
The inversion in which the centromere is present outside the inversion loop is called a pericentric inversion. This type of inversion includes the centromere. Thus, the term that describes “including the centromere” is termed as pericentric.
d.
To determine:
The phrase that describes “paracentric” among the options given below.
| 1. lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes |
| 2. movement of short DNA elements |
| 3. having more than two complete sets of chromosomes |
| 4. exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes |
| 5. excluding the centromere |
| 6. including the centromere |
| 7. having complete sets of chromosomes |
| 8. mosaic combination of male and female tissue |
Introduction:
Various types of inversions of chromosomes can be seen depending on the inclusion or exclusion of the centromere.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Paracentric: Excluding the centromere
Explanation of Solution
Inversion is a region in the chromosome that is caused by two breaks. These breaks rotate some part of the chromosome to 180° and form a loop-like structure, which is called the inversion loop. Paracentric and pericentric are the two different types of inversions.
The inversion in which the centromere is present outside the inversion loop is called a paracentric inversion. Thus, the term that describes “excluding the centromere” is paracentric.
e.
To determine:
The phrase that describes “euploids” among the options given below.
| 1. lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes |
| 2. movement of short DNA elements |
| 3. having more than two complete sets of chromosomes |
| 4. exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes |
| 5. excluding the centromere |
| 6. including the centromere |
| 7. having complete sets of chromosomes |
| 8. mosaic combination of male and female tissue |
Introduction:
Cells that are made up of complete set of chromosomes can be defined as the euploid cells.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Euploids: Having complete sets of chromosomes
Explanation of Solution
Chromosomes are the “thread-like” structures present in the genetic material. They contain genes and histone proteins. The cells that have a complete set of chromosomes are called euploids. Thus, the term that describes “having complete sets of chromosomes” is euploids.
f.
To determine:
The phrase that describes “polyploidy” among the options given below.
| 1. lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes |
| 2. movement of short DNA elements |
| 3. having more than two complete sets of chromosomes |
| 4. exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes |
| 5. excluding the centromere |
| 6. including the centromere |
| 7. having complete sets of chromosomes |
| 8. mosaic combination of male and female tissue |
Introduction:
An individual might be having more than normal set of chromosomes. Such organisms are referred to as polyploids.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Polyploidy: Having more than two complete sets of chromosomes
Explanation of Solution
The chromosomes are the structures that have DNA and histone proteins. They are present within the nucleus. The cells that have more than two complete sets of chromosomes are called polyploidy. Thus, the polyploidy is the term that describes “having more than two complete sets of chromosomes.”
g.
To determine:
The phrase that describes “transposition” among the options given below.
| 1. lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes |
| 2. movement of short DNA elements |
| 3. having more than two complete sets of chromosomes |
| 4. exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes |
| 5. excluding the centromere |
| 6. including the centromere |
| 7. having complete sets of chromosomes |
| 8. mosaic combination of male and female tissue |
Introduction:
Transposition is also a type of chromosomal aberration. In this type of aberration, segments of DNA move from one place to another.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Transposition: Movement of short DNA elements
Explanation of Solution
There are many types of chromosomal aberration, such as duplication, deletion, and many more. Translocation is also an important type of chromosomal aberration in which the chromosome segment moves to a new location within the genome. The process by which the short fragments of DNA move from one location to another is termed as transposition.
h.
To determine:
The phrase that describes “aneuploids” among the options given below.
| 1. lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes |
| 2. movement of short DNA elements |
| 3. having more than two complete sets of chromosomes |
| 4. exact exchange of parts of two nonhomologous chromosomes |
| 5. excluding the centromere |
| 6. including the centromere |
| 7. having complete sets of chromosomes |
| 8. mosaic combination of male and female tissue |
Introduction:
Aneuploidy can be defined as the gain or loss of one or more chromosomes.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
Aneuploids: Lacking one or more chromosomes or having one or more extra chromosomes
Explanation of Solution
Certain cells show chromosome aberrations. They either lack one or more chromosomes, or they have one or more extra chromosomes. They do not have an exact number of complete chromosomes. The process by which cells lack one or more chromosomes or have one or more extra chromosome is termed as aneuploidy.

- Your goal is to produce black seeds resistant to mold. So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants. Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus.

Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. The number of possible alleles from each parent determines the number of rows and columns in the Punnett square. Independent Assortment KEY QUESTION How do alleles segregate when more than one gene is involved? Mendel wondered if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects another pair. For example, does the gene that determines the shape of a seed affect the gene for seed color? This type of experiment is known as a two-factor, or dihybrid, cross because it involves two different genes. Single-gene crosses are monohybrid crosses.
