The cross over of the organisms with haploid genotype. Introduction: Law of segregation proposes that the alternative forms of the genes that are known as alleles separate during the formation of gametes. These gametes get one of the alleles that constitute the gene. Thus, during the formation of the zygote, these independent gametes come to fuse together to provide the allele pair to the offspring.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The cross over of the organisms with haploid genotype.

Introduction: Law of segregation proposes that the alternative forms of the genes that are known as alleles separate during the formation of gametes. These gametes get one of the alleles that constitute the gene. Thus, during the formation of the zygote, these independent gametes come to fuse together to provide the allele pair to the offspring.

Shown below are photomicrographs of Rhoeo tradescantia cells undergoing meiosis. Answer the following question for each of the photomicrographs: Identify the cytogenetic abnormality observed (ex. ring, chain, laggard, bridge). Identify the meiotic stage in which these aberrations are observed (as shown in the photomicrograph). Explain how these aberrations are formed and relate to the possible causal mutation(s). Will this result to sterile and/or fertile gametes? Explain.

Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB/ab) whose loci are linked and 10 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Part D If the two genes are 15 mu apart and the plant is (Ab/aB), what proportion of gametes from a signal plant will be ab? Part E What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be A_B_ if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part F What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be A_bb if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part G What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be aaB_ if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part H What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be aabb if the genes are 15 mu apart? How would I solve these?

Imagine a germ cell for an animal that is 2n=4. Gene A and B are found on chromosome one, and the cell is homozygous for A(AA) and heterozygous for Bb. Gene D is found on chromosome 2 and the germ cell is heterozygous for the Allee of the gene (Dd). Meiosis for this germ cell results in the following four gametes, and one crossing over event during meiosis ABD, ABd, AbD, Abd. Draw the chromosomes in cell during metaphase of meiosis 1. Make sure to include chromosomes, the allele in the correct locations on the chromosomes AFTER the crossing over event, and spindle fibers.
