Summary Introduction

To determine:

In which meiotic division of which parent did the nondisjunction takes place to produce a baby with sex constitution XYY as both the parents have normal sex chromosomes.

Introduction:

Meiosis is a process of cell division in which four haploid daughter cells are produced. It is also known as a reductional division because the daughter cells receive the reduced number of chromosomes. Meiosis is important for the reproduction because it produces haploid gametes. Meiosis occurs in two stages meiosis I and meiosis II. The meiosis stages are also divided into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The meiosis II is similar to that of mitosis.

There is a species of eagle, which lives in a tropical forest in Brazil. The alula pattern of its wings is determined by a single autosomal gene with four alleles that exhibit an unknown hierarchy of dominance. Genetic testing shows that individuals 1-1, 11-4, 11-7, III-1, and III-4 are each homozygous. How many possible genotypes among checkered eagles in the population?
