Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 21P
The pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of the X and Y chromosomes enable the sex chromosomes to pair and synapse during meiosis in males. Given the location of the SRY gene near PAR1, can you propose a mechanism for how the mutant X and Y chromosomes in Fig. 4.7 (in which part of the X is on the Y, and part of the Y is on theX) may have arisen during meiosis?
