SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY The diagram in quest ion 6 represents just a few of the chromosomes of a meiotic cell in a certain person. Assume the freckles gene is located at the locus marked F, and the hair-color gene is located at the locus marked H, both on the long chromosome. The individual from whom this cell was taken has inherited different alleles for each gene ("freckles" and "black hair" from one parent, and "no freckles" and "blond hair" from the other). Predict allele combinations in the gametes resulting from this meiotic event. (It will help if you draw out the rest of meiosis and label the alleles by name.) List other possible combinations of these alleles in this individual’s gametes.

- Meiosis Explains Mendels Results: Genes Are on Chromosomes The following diagram shows a hypothetical diploid cell. The recessive allele for albinism is represented by a, and d represents the recessive allele for deafness. The normal alleles for these conditions are represented by A and D, respectively. a. According to the principle of segregation, what is segregating in this cell? b. According to Mendels principle of independent assortment, what is independently assorting in this cell? c. How many chromatids are in this cell? d. Write the genotype of the individual from whom this cell was taken. e. What is the phenotype of this individual? f. What stage of cell division is represented by this cell (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, or telophase of meiosis I, meiosis II, or mitosis)? g. After meiosis is complete, how many chromatids and chromosomes will be present in one of the four progeny cells?arrow_forwardMeiosis Explains Mendels Results: Genes Are on Chromosomes Discuss the pertinent features of meiosis that provide a physical correlate to Mendels abstract genetic laws of random segregation and independent assortment.arrow_forwardThe chromosome constitution number of this individual is 2=6.

In metaphase of mitosis, sister chromatids of each chromosome are genetically identical but in metaphase II of meiosis sister chromatids are not genetically identical. II III Individual chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate during metaphase of mitosis, but pairs of homologous chromosomes line up at metaphase plate during metaphase II of meiosis.

- Germ cells are specialized cells that develop into gametes. Gametes are produced through the process of meiosis. If the haploid number for monkeys is 27 chromosomes, how many chromosomes does a cell undergoing division have at each of the following phases? Select the row that correctly shows the number of chromosomes at each phase. Select one: a. G2 of Interphase Mitotic Metaphase Meiotic Metaphase I Meiotic Metaphase II 27 54 54 27 b.

A scientist working in an IVF (in vitro fertilization) clinic mistakenly produced a human zygote with 45 chromosomes. What biological process could explain how this happened?

- Metaphase and Meiosis are distinct cellular processes. Draw and label two cells that illustrate the cell pictured below in Metaphase of Mitosis and Metaphase I of Meiosis. Indicate the position of all chromosomes, centrosomes and microtubules.arrow_forwardFill in the blanksarrow_forwardThough the stages of meiosis have the same names as the stages of mitosis, they exhibit fundamental differences. What are the main differences between the two processes? Meiosis differs from mitosis in that the number of chromosomes is halved and genetic variation is introduced in meiosis, but not in mitosis Meiosis differs from mitosis in that the number of chromosomes is halved and genetic variation is reduced in meiosis, but not in mitosis. Metaphase and telophase portions of meiosis and mitosis are the same. Meiosis and mitosis are also the same, except for the number of chromosomes. Anaphase I and anaphase are different. Prophase and telophase portions of meiosis and mitosis are the same. Meiosis II and mitosis are also the same and have the same number of chromosomes. Anaphase I and anaphase are different.arrow_forward
