Chapter 15, Problem 11TYU
EVOLUTION CONNECTION Crossing over is thought to be evolutionarily advantageous because it continually shuffles genetic alleles into novel combinations. Until recently, it was thought that the genes on the Y chromosome might degenerate because they lack homologous genes on the X chromosome with which to pair up prior to crossing over. However, when the Y chromosome was sequenced, eight large regions were found to be internally homologous to each other, and quite a few of the 78 genes represent duplicates. (Y chromosome researcher David Page has called it a "hall of mirrors") Explain what might be a benefit of these regions.

Can simple translocations ever be balanced?
I know with reciprocal translocations that if you're swapping the same *amount* of genetic material, it would be balanced, but if not, it would probably be unbalanced. (I'm referring to the genetic material of each chromosome, and not the total genetic material).
But simple translocations on the other hand, you're adding part of a chromosome to another without swapping. So it's not possible to have a balanced simple translocation, correct?
Mitotic recombination can occasionally produce a twin spot.Let’s suppose an animal species is heterozygous for two genesthat govern fur color and length: one gene affects pigmentation,with dark pigmentation (A) dominant to albino (a); the other geneaffects hair length, with long hair (L) dominant to short hair (l).The two genes are linked on the same chromosome. Let’s assume ananimal of this species is AaLl; A is linked to l, and a is linked to L.Draw the chromosomes labeled with these alleles, and explainhow mitotic recombination could produce a twin spot with onespot having albino pigmentation and long fur and the other havingdark pigmentation and short fur.
In humans, chromosome 16 sometimes has a heavily stained area near the
centromere. This feature can be seen in a microscope, but otherwise has no
effect on the phenotype of the person carrying it. When such a “blob" exists on
a given copy of chromosome 16, it is a constant feature of that chromosome
and is inherited.
A couple conceived a child, but the fetus had multiple abnormalities and was
miscarried. e.g., The fetus had three copies of chromosome 16, where 2 of the
3 copies of chromosome 16 had large blobs. Both of the mother's copies of
chromosome 16 lacked blobs, but the father was heterozygous for blobs. The
fetus was formed from a fertilization event that included a gamete produced
by the
in which nondisjunction occurred during the
meiotic
division.

- It is also note that Chimpanzee has a chromosomal complement of 2N = 48, whereas human has 2N = 46. Interestingly, chromosomal banding patterns have revealed that the chromosome 12 and 13 of chimp show homology with human chromosome 2 (see figure for the alignment of human and chimp banding patterns). This is a good example of chromosomal aberration in evolution. What type of chromosomal rearrangement is likely explained the evolution of human chromosome 2 from the two chromosomes of chimpanzee? A. Translocation B. Duplication C. Inversion D. Deletionarrow_forwardKuliev and Verlinsky (2004) state that there was a relatively high number of separation errors at meiosis I. In these cases the centromere underwent a premature division, occurring at meiosis I rather than meiosis II. Regarding chromosome 21, what would you expect to be the chromosome 21 complement in the secondary oocyte in which you saw a single chromatid (monad) for chromosome 21 in the first polar body? If this secondary oocyte was involved in fertilization, what would be the expected consequences?arrow_forwardIn a human genetic study, a family with five phenotypicallynormal children was investigated. Two children were “homozygous”for a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes19 and 20 (they contained two identical copies of the fusedchromosome). They have only 44 chromosomes but a completegenetic complement. Three of the children were “heterozygous”for the translocation and contained 45 chromosomes,with one translocated chromosome plus a normal copy of bothchromosomes 19 and 20. Two other pregnancies resulted instillbirths. It was later discovered that the parents were firstcousins. Based on this information, determine the chromosomecompositions of the parents. What led to the stillbirths? Whywas the discovery that the parents were first cousins a key pieceof information in understanding the genetics of this family?arrow_forward

You cross the reciprocal translocation strain to the eyeless pure line to generate F, flies that are both translocation heterozygotes and Ee heterozygotes. You decide to testcross F, males and females in two separate experiments to take advantage of the fact that crossing over does not occur in male Drosophila.

Some of the butterflies were located in Canada, and others were found in Mexico. Through karyotyping, the cytogeneticist discovered that chromosome 5 of the Canadian butterflies has a large inversion compared with chromosome 5 of the Mexican butterflies. The Canadian butterflies were inversion homozygotes, whereas the Mexican butterflies had two normal copies of chromosome 5. 1) Would a cross between Mexican and Canadian butterflies produce phenotypically normal offspring? and 2) Would the offspring of the cross (so F2 generation) be fertile?arrow_forward
- In Drosophila the genes forked bristles (f and f+) and vermilion eyes (v and v+) are ~24 m.u. apart on the X chromosome. From a cross of f v / f+ v+ females with f v / y males, what % of the progeny do you expect to have the f+ v+ phenotypes? (Don’t let the X chromosome throw you off – this question is essentially asking what % of the female’s gametes will be f+ v+).arrow_forwardWhat unusual feature of the Y chromosome allows some recombination among the genes found on it?arrow_forwardA cytogeneticist has collected tissue samples from members of acertain butterfly species.

- Sketch a series of diagrams showing each of the following, making sure to end each series with haploid cells:(a) How a pair of alleles for a single locus segregate in meiosis(b) How the alleles of two unlinked loci assort independently in meiosis(c) How the alleles of two linked loci undergo genetic recombinationarrow_forwardTwo phenotypically normal parents produce a phenotypically abnormal child in which chromosome 5 is missing part of its long arm but has a piece of chromosome 7 attached to it. The child also has one normal copy of chromosome 5 and two normal copies of chromosome 7. With regard to chromosomes 5 and 7, what do you think are the chromosomal compositions of the parents? Would it most likely be reciprocal translocation? It wouldn't be simple translocation because then the child would have the entirety of one chromosome and only some of the other, but in this case, there is only partial chromosome 5 and chromosome 7?arrow_forwardWhy are the X and Y chromosomes not considered homologous even though they recombine at the PAR region?arrow_forward
