A B • C D V W X
R S • T U E F G
R S • T U V W X
Q. Diagram the alternate, adjacent-1, and adjacent-2 segregation patterns in anaphase I of 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 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 fruit flies, chromosomal crossing over does not occur in meiosis in males, whereas crossing over does occur in meiosis in females. In fruit flies that are heterozygous at many genes (i.e. many maternal and paternal versions of the genes differ), at what stage would cells no longer be heterozygous for any gene during the process of meiosis?
a)After the second meiotic division in males, and after the first meiotic division in females.
b)After the second meiotic division in both males and females.
c)After the first meiotic division in both males and females.
d)After the first meiotic division in males, and after the second meiotic division in females.
