Answer to Problem 1RQ
Correct answer:
(a) X or Y | 3. sperm and ova, 4. sex chromosomes, 5. germ cells |
(b) Inactivated X chromosome | 8. Barr body |
(c) XX | 2. fertilized egg, 7. female chromosomes |
(d) XY | 2. fertilized egg, 6. male chromosomes |
(e) XX or XY | 2. fertilized egg |
(f) Autosomes | 1. chromosomes other than sex 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.

- Molecular Biology Question Explain why the cell doesn’t need 61 tRNAs (one for each codon). Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB.
