Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 6P
An organism has alleles R1 and R2 on one pair of homologous chromosomes, and it has alleles T1 and T2 on another pair. Diagram these pairs of homologs at the end of meta-phase I, the end of telophase I, and the end of telophase II, and show how meiosis in this organism produces gametes in expected Mendelian proportions. Assume no crossover between homologous chromosomes.

A diploid (2n) trihybrid individual with the genotype EeFfGg can make eight genetically different gametes.
Loci E/e and F/f are on chromosome 1 and locus G/g is on chromosome 2. Explain how a gamete containing the alleles e, f and g may be produced by meiosis. Refer specifically to meiotic events occurring during Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I and Anaphase II. (NB: remember to refer to the organism above).
Assume that a diploid cell (2N=8) contains 4 pairs of chromosomes (3 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes) designated as 1m, 1p, 2m, 2p, 3m, 3p, Xm,
and Xp where "m" stands for maternal origin and "p" stands for paternal origin. Which of the following is/are possibilities for the chromosomal composition of each

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.

- Assume that during meiosis I none of the C chromosomes disjoin at metaphase, but they separate into dyads (instead of monads) during meiosis II. How would this change the alignments that you constructed during the anaphase stages in meiosis I and II? Draw them.arrow_forwardMeiosis is characterized by the pairing of homologouschromosomes during prophase I. In many species, an elaboratestructure called the synaptonemal complex forms betweenhomologues. During this pairing, homologues may exchangechromosomal material at sites called chiasmata. In meiosis I, thehomologues separate from each other, reducing the chromosomenumber to the haploid state (thus the reductive division). It isfollowed by a second division without replication, during whichsister chromatids become separated. The result of meiosis I and IIis four haploid cells. If sister chromatids separated at the first division, would meiosis still work?arrow_forwardShown 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.arrow_forward
- Though an individual with abberations such as Robertsonian translocation may be phenotypically normal, they can generate gametes through meiosis that have atypical organizations of chromosomes, resulting in recurrent fetal abnormalities or miscarriages. Why, despite these Robertsonian translocations, are affected cells still able to generate typical gametes through meiosis?arrow_forwardIn fruit flies, chromosomal crossing over does not occur in meiosis in males, whereas crossing over does occur in meiosis in females.
