Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: In which parent the non-disjunction of chromosome 9 has occurred based on the information that the father is of blood type AB and mother is of blood type O, and their child is of the blood type A with trisomy in chromosome 9
Concept introduction:
The term non-disjunction means that the chromosomes that appeared together in the cell did not separate during the gamete formation and were carried together into the gamete formed. The non-disjunction of the paired chromosome leads to the chromosomal aberration called trisomy in the offspring.

Explain why a person with Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) still exhibits abnormal phenotypes despite the fact that one of the extra X Chromosome is inactivated practically leaving an XY active sex chromosomes similar to a normal male?
The ABO blood type locus has been mapped on chromosome 9. A father who has type AB blood and a mother who has type O blood have a child with trisomy 9 and type A blood. Can you tell in which parent the non disjunction occurred? Explain.
In com, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. However, the presence ofa nuclear fertility restorer gene (F_) restores fertility to male sterile lines. Draw your simulated crosses male sterile female x FF male and give the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross.
