A.

Summary Introduction

To find: Whether the given statement “Each eukaryotic chromosome must contain the following DNA sequence elements; multiple origins of replication, two telomeres, and one centromere” is correct or not.

Concept introduction: In a eukaryotic chromosome, roughly about 3.2 billion nucleotides are spread over 23 different chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of enormously long linear DNA molecules associated with proteins that fold and pack the fine thread of DNA into a more compact structure. There are many important regions in a chromosome that are concerned with several vital functions. During the time of cell division, eukaryotic chromosomes condense into highly coiled four-armed structures. The high degree of coiling and systematic organization of genetic content in its arms reveals the high efficiency of eukaryotic chromosome.

CHAPTER 12 LESSON 2 Applying Mendel's Principles READING TOOL Connect to Visuals Before you read, preview Figure 12-7. Try to infer the purpose of this diagram. As you read, compare your inference to the text. After you read, revise your statement if needed or write a new one about the diagram's purpose. Take notes on the lines provided. Then view the Punnett square and answer the questions below regarding the genotypes and phenotypes. Inference: Revision: Parent 2 rryy Gametes F ry Parent 1 RRYY Gametes RY RrYy The F, generation are all RrYy. 1. What is the phenotype of parent 1?. 2. What is the genotype of parent 1? 3. What is the phenotype of parent 2? 4. What is the genotype of parent 2? 5. What is the phenotype of the F, offspring?. 6. What is the genotype of the F, offspring?. 7.
