PART D: What kind of cell results when a diploid and a haploid gamete fuse during fertilization?

A triploid cell

PART B: When can a nondisjunction occur?

All three answers are correct

PART A: What is a nondisjunction?

An error in cell division that causes homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to move to the same side of the dividing cell

What results if a fragment of a chromosome breaks off and then reattaches to the original chromosome at the same place but in the reverse direction?

An inversion

A cell goes through S phase, meiosis I, and cytokinesis. As the daughter cells are beginning meiosis II, which of the following is an appropriate description of the contents of each cell?

Each has half the chromosomes and the same amount of DNA as the original cell.

Imagine a human disorder that is inherited as a dominant, X-linked trait. How would the frequency of this disorder vary between males and females?

Females would display this disorder with greater frequency than males.

PART C: _____ is the process by which haploid gametes form a diploid zygote.

Fertilization

PART C Down syndrome is caused by trisomy 21, the presence of three copies of chromosome 21. The extra copy usually results from nondisjunction during meiosis. In some cases, however, the extra copy results from a translocation of most of chromosome 21 onto chromosome 14. A person who has had such a translocation in his or her gamete-producing cells is a carrier of familial Down syndrome. The carrier is normal because he or she still has two copies of all the essential genes on chromosome 21, despite the translocation. However, the same may not be true for the carrier's offspring.The diagram shows the six possible gametes that a carrier of familial Down syndrome could produce. Suppose that a carrier of familial Down syndrome mated with a person with a normal karyotype. Which gamete from the carrier parent could fuse with a gamete from the normal parent to produce a trisomy-21 zygote? Drag one of the gamete cells to the target of Group 1 in the diagram. Drag one of the zygote cells to the target of Group 2 in the diagram

A white-eyed female Drosophila is crossed with a red-eyed male Drosophila. Which statement below correctly describes the results

None of the females will have white eyes.

Polyploid

PART D: What is the correct sequence of the three linked genes?

T-A-S

Gregor Mendel set up a dihybrid cross with one pea plant from the parental generation (P) producing round yellow peas and the other pea plant producing wrinkled green peas. The F2 generation included 315 plants producing round yellow peas, 108 with round green peas, 101 with wrinkled yellow peas, and 32 with wrinkled green peas. How would these results have differed if pea shape and pea color had been linked genes, located close together on the same chromosome?

The F2 generation would have included a higher percentage of pea plants producing round, yellow peas.

Which of these descriptions of the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis explains Mendel's law of independent assortment?

The arrangement of each pair of homologous chromosomes on the metaphase plate during metaphase I is random with respect to the arrangements of other pairs.

Which of the following is true of an X-linked gene, but not of a Y-linked gene?

The gene is present in both males and females

In humans, what determines the sex of offspring and why?

The male gamete determines sex because each male gamete can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome.

Select the correct statement(s) about sex determination in animals

The mechanism of sex determination varies with different animal species.

Which of these descriptions of the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis explains Mendel's law of segregation?

The two alleles for each gene separate as homologous chromosomes move apart during anaphase I.

PART E: Of the following chromosomal abnormalities, which type is most likely to be viable in humans?

Trisomy

PART C: Which syndrome is characterized by the XO chromosome abnormality

Turner syndrome

A widow's peak (a hairline that comes to a peak in the middle of the forehead) is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Consider the following family history: A man with a widow's peak and normal color vision marries a color-blind woman with a straight hairline. The man's father had a straight hairline, as did both of the woman's parents. Use the family history to make predictions about the couple's children. Drag the correct label to the appropriate location in the table. Not all labels will be used.

1. 3 Only 2. 2 or 4 3. 0 or 6 4. 2,3 or 4 5. 0,3 or 6

PART B: The inheritance of eye color in Drosophila is controlled by genes on each of the fly's four chromosome pairs. One eye-color gene is on the fly's X chromosome, so the trait is inherited in a sex-linked manner. For this sex-linked trait, the wild-type (brick red) allele is dominant over the mutant vermilion (bright red) allele. A homozygous wild-type female fly is mated with a vermilion male fly.X+X+×XvYX+X+×XvY Predict the eye colors of F1 and F2 generations. (Assume that the F1 flies are allowed to interbreed to produce the F2 generation.) Drag the correct label to the appropriate location in the table. Labels can be used once, more than once, or not at all.

1. All wild type 2. All wild type 3. All wild type 4. 1/2 wild, 1/2 vermilion

Chromosomal mutations are changes in the normal structure or number of chromosomes. Changes in chromosome structure can result from errors in meiosis or from exposure to radiation or other damaging agents. Certain changes in chromosome number can result from nondisjunction during either meiosis or mitosis. Both structural mutations and nondisjunction can play a role in trisomy 21, commonly known as Down syndrome. PART A: Changes in chromosome structure Part complete The diagram below shows two normal chromosomes in a cell. Letters represent major segments of the chromosomes. The following table illustrates some structural mutations that involve one or both of these chromosomes. Identify the type of mutation that has led to each result shown. Drag one label into the space to the right of each chromosome or pair of chromosomes. You can use a label once, more than once, or not at all.

1. deletion 2. Duplication 3. Translocation 4.Inversion 5. Duplication 6. Translocation 7. Inversion

At the time of Mendel's pea plant experiments, no one knew how organisms formed gametes. As Mendel studied the inheritance of two different characters, he wondered how the alleles for the two characters segregated into gametes. Mendel had two hypotheses for how this might work.Under the hypothesis of dependent assortment, the alleles inherited from the parental generation should always be transmitted to the next generation in the same combinations.Under the hypothesis of independent assortment, alleles for different characters should segregate independently of each other, meaning that alleles should be packaged into gametes in all possible combinations, as long as each gamete has one allele for each gene. The figure below shows the experiment that Mendel used to distinguish between these two hypotheses. The results of the experiment confirmed that the alleles for these characters undergo independent assortment. Drag the terms to the appropriate blanks to complete the sentences below. Not all terms will be used.

A trait controlled by a gene located on either sex chromosome is called a sex-linked trait. In human genetics, however, this term has historically referred specifically to a trait controlled by a gene on the X chromosome (also called an X-linked trait).In this tutorial, you will explore the pattern of inheritance of sex-linked traits in humans and other animals. PART A - The inheritance of a skin condition in humans Consider the following family history: Bob has a genetic condition that affects his skin. Bob's wife, Eleanor, has normal skin. No one in Eleanor's family has ever had the skin condition. Bob and Eleanor have a large family. Of their eleven children, all six of their sons have normal skin, but all five of their daughters have the same skin condition as Bob. Based on Bob and Eleanor's family history, what inheritance pattern does the skin condition most likely follow?

X- linked dominant
