A boy with Klinefelter syndrome (47 chromosomes, XXY) is born to a mother who is phenotypically normal and a father who has the X-linked skin condition called anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED). The mother's skin is completely normal with no signs of the skin abnormality. By contrast, her son has patches of normal skin and patches of abnormal skin.

a) What are the genotypes of the mother and the father?

(b) What is the genotype of the son?

(d) What phenomenon occurred during meiosis to produce this abnormal gamete, and at which division of meiosis (1st or 2nd) did it occur? Briefly explain how you determined which division was affected.

1. An individual with classic symptoms of Down syndrome is found to have 46 chromosomes. How can this be? This is possible if the individual has an extra chromosome 21 but has only one copy of chromosome 1. This is not possible. It is possible if she or he carries a chromosome translocation, such as 14/21. It is possible if she or he carries a chromosome inversion. The area on a tRNA molecule which connects to a specific mRNA molecule...
