Meiosis Explains Mendel’s Results: Genes Are on Chromosomes
The following diagram shows a hypothetical diploid cell. The recessive allele for albinism is represented by a, and d represents the recessive allele for deafness. The normal alleles for these conditions are represented by A and D, respectively.
- a. According to the principle of segregation, what is segregating in this cell?
- b. According to Mendel’s principle of independent assortment, what is independently assorting in this cell?
- c. How many chromatids are in this cell?
- d. Write the genotype of the individual from whom this cell was taken.
- e. What is the
phenotype of this individual? - f. What stage of cell division is represented by this cell (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, or telophase of meiosis I, meiosis II, or mitosis)?
- g. After meiosis is complete, how many chromatids and chromosomes will be present in one of the four progeny cells?

Which of the following statements about hydration is true?
Absence of thirst is a reliable indication that an individual is adequately hydrated.
All of these statements are true.
Although a popular way to monitor hydration status, weighing yourself before and after intensive physical activity is not a reliable method to monitor hydration.
Urine that is the color of apple juice indicates dehydration.

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:

- Genes at loci f, m, and w are linked, but their order is unknown. The F1 heterozygotes from a cross of FFMMWW x ffmmww are test crossed. The most frequent phenotypes in the test cross progeny will be FMW and fmw regardless of what the gene order turns out to be. What classes of testcross progeny (phenotypes) would be least frequent if locus m is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus f is in the middle?

What would be the protein needs of a man named Josh who exercises moderately and is the same age and size as Wayne? Josh is 5 ft, 8 in tall and weighs 183 lb. Round the number of grams to the nearest whole number. During calculations, use numbers rounded to the first decimal place.
