Chapter 2, Problem 23PDQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: All the possible content related to the given chromosomes preparation.
Introduction: Division of cells is a very important step in a cell cycle. This helps the cells to increase in number. Cells division can be meiotic or mitotic based on whether the genetic material remains the same as that in the parents or is reduced to half.

A prairie grass species called "little bluestem" is tetraploid. It has four complete sets of chromosomes. There are ten kinds of chromosomes; in other words, each complete set of chromosomes has a total of 10 chromosomes. A single somatic cell (e.g., a cell in a leaf) will have 40 chromosomes, 4 of each kind of chromsome, i.e., 4 of the number 1 chromsome, 4 of the number 2 chromsome, etc. The illustration below shows prophase of meiosis 1 in chromosome number 10. In a diploid cell, there would be one tetrad (group of 4 chromatids) for each kind of chromosome. For example, there would be one tetrad for chromosome 8, one for chromsome 9, etc. When the tetraploid little bluestem undergoes meiosis, how many of chromosome number 10 will each sperm cell carry?
Your class has been studying cell division in a number of organisms with different chromosome numbers. Unfortunately, the slides showing the different stages of mitosis and meiosis got mixed up, and some of them got lost. The figures below show the 12 slides that you have managed to find. The organism that you have been studying has a 2n number of 8 with one pair of large metacentric chromosomes, one pair of small metacentric chromosomes, one pair of acrocentric chromosomes and one pair of telocentric chromosomes.
a. Do any of the recovered slides below show the stages of cell division indicated in the table in the answer sheet? If so, please write only the slide number in the correct place in the table on your answer sheet.
Consider the following DNA molecule (shown in the picture) and assume this is the DNA sequence of the entire chromosomes.
list the amino acid sequences of the possible protein or proteins that could be produced from this DNA sequence
what would be the DNA sequence of a sister chromatid generated from this chromosome sequence? (specify the 5' nd 3' ends)

To create the image, researchers put cells in culture under conditions that encourage the cells to divide. They bathed the cells in a hypotonic (low salt) solution, which caused the cells to swell until their plasma membrane burst open. They "squashed" the chromosomes to spread them out, and stained them with a dye to make them visible under the microscope. Human chromosomes are numbered from longest (1) to shortest (22) plus the sex chromosomes X and Y. In the image chromosome 1 is about 7 micrometers. Answer the following questions. 1) What word(s) in the description above indicates that the chromosomes are not from a cell undergoing meiosis? 2) Based on the size, shape and appearance of the chromosomes in the image, in what cell cycle stage was the cell that the chromosomes came from? How can you tell? 3) Does the image suggest that centromere sequences are always located in the middle of a…arrow_forward
- In an electrophoretic gel across which is applied a powerful electrical alternating pulsed field, the DNA of the haploid fungus Neurospora crassa (n = 7) moves slowly but eventually forms seven bands, which represent DNA fractions that are of different sizes and hence have moved at different speeds. These bands are presumed to be the seven chromosomes. How would you show which band corresponds to which chromosome?arrow_forwardThe image below shows a standard human karyotype, from a metaphase cell. Note that the positioning of the chromosomes in the image is to aid visualization; they are not lined up this way in the cell.
