| (c) XX | 2. fertilized egg, 7. female chromosomes |

Explanation of Solution
- (a) X or Y – 3. sperm and ova, 4. sex chromosomes, 5. germ cells
The cells which contain half the number of chromosomes are known as germ cells. Sperm and ova are germ cells produced by males and females, respectively. Each germ cell has 23 chromosomes, 22 autosomes, and 1 sex chromosome. Male germ cells (sperms) can have either X or Y chromosome, whereas female germ cells (ova) will always have an X chromosome.
- (b) Inactivated X chromosome – 8. Barr body
Female sex chromosomes have genotype XX. One X out of these is condensed and inactive. It appears to be a small and dense stained structure present in the nuclei of the cells. This inactive and condensed X chromosome is known as a Barr body. Barr bodies are absent in males.
- (c) XX - 2. fertilized egg, 7. female chromosomes
Half of the male germ cells contain an X chromosome, and the other half has Y chromosome. If male germ cell carrying X chromosome fuses with the female germ cell, then the fertilized egg would have XX chromosomes. Presence of XX chromosomes indicates that the fetus is female.
- (d) XY - 2. fertilized egg, 6. male chromosomes
X and Y chromosomes are sex chromosomes present in humans. The fusion of male germ cell containing Y chromosome and female germ cell would result in the production of zygote with genotype XY.
- (e) XX or XY – 2. fertilized egg
In humans, male and female germ cells have 1 sex chromosome each. About 50% of male germ cells have X chromosome whereas the other 50% has Y chromosome. All the female germ cells have X chromosome in them. The fusion of male and female germ cells inside the female body is known as fertilization. The zygote formed after fertilization has double chromosomes as compared to the germ cells. This zygote or fertilized egg will have genotype XX in case of females and XY in case of males.
- (f) Autosomes – 1.chromosomes other than sex chromosomes
Every human being has 46 chromosomes that is 23 pairs of chromosomes. Out of these 23 pairs, 22 are autosomes, and 1 pair of the chromosome is sex chromosome. Autosomes are responsible for various features of the human body such as eye color, height, hair color, and many more.

- Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type. From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results: Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8 Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes.
