A diploid individual is heterozygous for a chromosome rearrangement. The original chromosome and its rearranged homolog have the following segments, where ∙ represents a centromere: A B ∙ C D E F G A B ∙ C F E D G While paired in prophase I, a single crossing-over occurs between segment E and segment D of the paired chromosomes. Describe the unusual crossing-over structure that forms as a result.What gamete types will result from crossing over when meiosis is complete? please asap

The STR DNA marker DS11 is located on the p arm of the chromosome #8 in humans. Molecular analysis has shown that Charlie Chaplin is a heterozygote for the STR marker (genotype DS11A and DS11B) Using this knowledge, provide a diagram of meiosis showing only the movements of chromosome 8 (assume no nondisjunction). Throughout, indicate where the marker may be found (in other words, label the chromosome to show where the STR markers can be found. (Show ONLY the chromosomes at interphase, metaphase 1, end of meiosis 1, metaphase 2, and end of meiosis 2). Suppose Charlie conceived a son with a chromosome 8 trisomy. Molecular analysis of the STR DS11 marker revealed that his son carried two copies of the DS11A marker and a DS11C marker. Based on the data, determine if the nondisjunction occurred in Charlie or in the mother? Provide your reasoning.

A diploid species has 3 pairs of chromosomes in its somatic cells. In males, the first pair is large submetacentric[1]; the second is medium acrocentric[2], and the third is small telocentric[3]. In females, the first two pairs are like those of the males while the third is large metacentric[4][5], with satellite4 Illustrate the karyograms (drawing/picture of the chromosome) of the following: A triploid cell in females tetrasomic cell in males tetraploid cell in females [1] submetacentric --centrosome is just above the middle of the chromosome [2] acrocentric --centrosome is much higher location than submetacentric so that the “p” arm of the chromosome is much shorter than the q arm [3] telocentric --the centromere is at the end of the chromosome [4] metacentric --centrosome is in the middle of the chromosome; thus the “p-arm” and the “q-arm” or both arms of the chromosome are equal in length [5] satellite-a constriction in an arm of a chromosome, aside…
On Neurospora chromosome 4, the leu3 gene is just to theleft of the centromere and always segregates at the firstdivision, whereas the cys2 gene is to the right of the centromere and shows a second-division segregation frequency of 16 percent. In a cross between a leu3 strain anda cys2 strain, calculate the predicted frequencies of thefollowing seven classes of linear tetrads where l = leu3 andc = cys2. (Ignore double and other multiple crossovers.)
