What is the outcome of nondisjunction in meiosis I of an
organism with ploidy 2n=2?
A - one quarter of the resultant gametes will be devoid of all
chromosomes
B - half of the resulting gametes will contain non-sister
chromatids
C - half of the resulting gametes will contain sister
chromatids
D - half of the resulting gametes will be trisomic
E - half of the resulting gametes will be haploid
Brachydactyly is a condition caused by an allele dominant to
wild-type in humans, in which the fingers and toes are shortened.
In a population of 10,000 people, 1,600 are BB, 4,800 are
Bb, and 3,600 are bb.
A)What percentage of people in this population have short
fingers and toes?
B)What is the frequency of the b allele?
C)Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Starting with One Cell describe step by step the process of
Meiosis I in males and females (they have different end results).
How many viable cells are there for the male and for the female at
the end of Meiosis I?
1) If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis II, what type of
gametes would be expected?
2) Sex determination in Ewoks is similar to humans - female
Ewoks have two X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y
chromosome. A gene on the X chromosome determines eye color, where
the dominant allele XB gives produces black eyes and the
recessive allele Xb produces hazel eyes. Two black eyed
parents have a hazel eyed son. If they have two additional
children,...
5. Identify any one (1) genetic disorder not caused by
nondisjunction. Explain why.
6). Given that Phenylketonuria (PKU) is inherited as a recessive
trait. What is the chance for two heterozygous parents to have a
phenylalanine-sensitive child? Explain.
7). Given a mating between a non-hemophiliac male & a
heterozygous female what is the probability for a hemophiliac
female child? Explain.
8). Given a mating between an albino male & a carrier
female, what is the probability for a child who...
Which of the following occurs in meiosis II but not meiosis
I?
Select one:
A. homologous chromosomes pair
B. homologous chromosomes cross-over
C. homologous chromatids separate
D. all of the above
E. none of the above
