Chapter 3, Problem 30P
Drosophila has a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 8, which includes one pair of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males) and three pairs of autosomes. Consider a Drosophila male that has a copy of the A1 allele on its X chromosome (the Y chromosome is the homolog) and is heterozygous for alleles B1 and B2, C1 and C2, and D1 and D2 of genes that are each on a different autosomal pair. In the diagrams requested below, indicate the alleles carried on each chromosome and sister chromatid. Assume that no crossover occurs between homologous chromosomes.
a. What is the genotype of cells produced by mitotic division in this male?
b. Diagram any correct alignment of chromosomes at mitotic metaphase.
c. Diagram any correct alignment of chromosomes at metaphase I of meiosis.
d. For the metaphase I alignment shown in (c), what gamete genotypes are produced at the end of meiosis?
e. How many different metaphase I chromosome alignments are possible in this male? How many genetically different gametes can this male produce? Explain your reasoning for each answer.

A male Drosophila melanogaster has the genotype A/a; B/b; C/c; XD/Y (all genes are on separate chromosomes). How many different sperm genotypes can it produce through meiosis of one single pre-gametic (2n) cell? (remember, there is no crossing over in male Drosophila)
Explain.
Butterflies have an X-Y sex-determination system that is different from that of flies or humans. Female butterflies may be either XY or X0, while butterflies with two or more X chromosomes are males. This photograph shows a tiger swallowtail gynandromorph, which is half male (left side) and half female (right side). Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, propose a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the first mitosis might have produced this unusual-looking butterfly.
