A 2n=4 plant is heterozygous at two genes, one controlling plant height (T = tall, t= short) and one controlling disease resistance (D = resistant, d = susceptible). The plant height gene is located on one chromosome, and the disease resistance gene is located on the other chromosome. In the cells below, draw to two possible arrangements of the chromosomes at metaphse I of meiosis. Hint: look at Figure 2.17 in your textbook for an example of how chromosomes can be arranged at metaphase I. Be sure to label the alleles present at the genes on the two chromosomes in each drawing.

In the plant, Haplopappus gracile there is one long pair and one short pair of chromosomes. In the diagrams below, anaphase of individual cells in meiosis or mitosis in a plant that is heterozygous for the genes, A and B (which are on separate chromosomes) are shown. The lines represent chromosomes or chromatids and the points of the "V" are the centromeres. For each case, indicate if the cell represents meiosis I, meiosis II, mitosis, or impossible situation. Provide a brief (one sentence) reason for your decision. 1. A A a В a B 9. A a B A a 2. а В В a A a B 9. B. a A 3.
An individual heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation possesses the following chromosomes: A B ● C D E F G, A B • C D V W X, R S •T U E F G, R S•T U V W Xa. Draw the pairing arrangement of these chromosomes in prophase 1 of meiosis. Mention their gametic composition. b. Draw the alternate, adjacent I, and adjacent II segregation patterns in anaphase I of meiosis. Mention their gametic composition.
In rice, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Give the result(s) of the cross and explain the phenotype of the offspring.
During a practical, a group of biology students are tasked to study the cell cycle of an insect. This insect has the karyotype 2n=6, with genotype Aa Bb Ee HH. The students must draw a G2 cell about to enter meiosis, using red lines for maternal chromosomes, blue lines for paternal chromosomes and black dots to represent centromeres. The drawing provided by the students is shown below. a) Identify three mistakes the students made when producing this diagram. In your answer only refer to elements already present in the figure. (3) b) This fly is used in a testcross. What is the probability of producing a fly with genotype Aa bb ee Hh?
Consider a cell with 2 pairs of homologous chromosomes where Chromosome 1 with genes VWXYZ is the homolog of Chromosome 2 with genes vwxyz while Chromosome 3 with genes PQRST is the homolog of Chromosome 4 with genes parst. If a reciprocal translocation occurred between Chromosome 1 YZ genes and Chromosome 3 ST genes, give the following gamete types produced after meiosis: (Answer in Arabic numbers only) 1. Gamete/s with non-recombinant chromosomes 2. Gamete/s with 1 recombinant chromosome 3. Gamete/s with 2 recombinant chromosomes 4. Gamete/s with gene duplications 5. Gamete/s with gene deletions 6. Gamete/s with 2 normal chromosome sequences 7. Gamete/s with 1 normal chromosome sequence 8. Gamete/s with balanced translocation 9. Gametes/ with all dominant genes 10. Gamete/s with all recessive genes 11. Gamete/s with 10 different genes 12. Gamete/s with TSXWV genes 13. Gamete/s with vwxyz genes 14. Gamete/s with pqrst genes 15.Gamete/s with PORYZ
Consider the true diploid plant cell (2n=2x=6) below wherein the light blue chromosomes A, B, C (from largest to smallest) are paternally derived. These chromosomes contain the same gene pattern and structural features as maternally-derived purple chromosomes A’, B’, and C’, respectively. Draw and label the chromosomes as observed in the following stages Anaphase (c.1), Anaphase I (c.2), and Anaphase II (c.3). Assume no crossing-over events occurred at Meiosis.
An individual heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation possesses the following chromosomes: A B • C D E F G A B • C D V W X R S • T U E F G R S • T U V W X Q. Draw the pairing arrangement of these chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis.
Shown 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.
During metaphase I of meiosis, tetrads align along the metaphase plate independently of each other. Therefore, there is a random “shuffle” of maternal and paternal chromosomes in the resulting gametes.The following diagram demonstrates how this works in a diploid cell with four chromosomes . Because there are two pairs of chromosomes and each pair can align in one of two ways during metaphase I, the number of possible variations in the gametes produced is , or .For an organism that is , there are three pairs of chromosomes, so the number of possible variations in the gametes produced due to independent assortment in metaphase I is , or . In an organism with a haploid number of , how many possible combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes can occur in its gametes? Select one: a. 72=49 b. 27=128 c.17=1 d. 214=16 384
Consider the true diploid plant cell (2n=4) below. The paternally derived blue chromosomesare of two types, metacentric and acrocentric. These chromosomes contain the same gene pattern andstructural features as the maternally derived purple chromosomes. Consider two genes A and B whichare found on the metacentric and acrocentric chromosome pairs, respectively. Assume the father passedon A and B alleles, and the mother passed on a and b alleles. a. Show the possible loci of these genes (specify alleles) on the image. Label both sister chromatids in each chromosome. (Note: Sister chromatids are products of replication.)b. Draw the four possible gametes formed after meiosis assuming there was no crossing over. Label the gene loci.
