A single, non-disjunction event involving chromosome 1a occurs during cell division. Describe how this event would affect the chromosomal complement of the specified cells in the following situations:

a) Daughter cells if non-disjunction occurs during Mitosis.

b) Gametes if non-disjunction occurs during Meiosis I.

c) Gametes if non-disjunction occurs during Meiosis II.

Expert Solution

a) In mitosis, there is a separation of sister chromatids into newly formed daughter cells. When non disjunction occurs, atleast one pair of sister chromatids fail to separate from each other in the anaphase. This results in aneuploidy of cells - (2n+1) in some and (2n-1) in others.

b) In meiosis I there is separation of homologous chromosomes. If non disjunction occurs during anaphase I of meiosis I, this means that at least one pair of homologous chromosomes did not separate. This results in two daughter cells carrying an extra chromosome and two daughter cells with one less chromosome. And after meiosis II of the four gametes formed, two will be having an extra chromosome (n+1) and the remaining two will have one chromosome less(n-1).

c) In meiosis II, there is separation of sister chromatids. If non disjunction occurs during anaphase II of meiosis II, it means that atleast one pair of sister chromatids did not separate.Of the four gametes formed, two will have normal haploid number of chromosomes(n), one will have an extra chromosome (n+1) and one will be missing a chromosome (n-1).

Develop a single or set of event trees to describe the escalation mechanism that would lead to an impairment of a TR from a fire or explosion in an adjacent module. Your event tree(s) should include the direct effects of fire and explosion and escalations which may lead to impairment of the TR by fire, smoke or structural failure. Present your event tree(s) and discuss all underlying assumptions

1) Describe the types of bacterial cell arrangements and how the different planes of cell division determine their arrangements. Why Bacilli are less varied in arrangement than cocci? 2) Mycoplasmas are classified as Low G + C Gram-Positive Bacteria in the textbook. However their staining phenotype indicates they are gram negative. What is the basis for classification as gram positive bacteria? 3) Make a dichotomous key to distinguish among the orders of Gammaproteobacteria

Describe an event, in your own words, and how would you explain an intersection and complement to someone who's never read the chapter introduction to Probability. Remember your reader has never read about these concepts, how can you explain it to them, provide examples. The examples can't be from the textbook, create your own.
