Chromosomal Basis of Heredity
Eukaryotic chromosomes are thousands of times longer than a typical cell. Explain how chromosomes can fit inside a eukaryotic nucleus. How are chromosomes in eukaryotic cells packaged?
Chromosome abnormalities can be structural or numerical. Enumerate at least 3 examples of each, giving the numerical or structural changes in the chromosomes.
the chromosomes of a yellow fever mosquito (Aedes
aegypti). The species has 6 chromosome number (2n=6). Using this illustration, draw a
schematic diagram of the cell division (mitosis) of the mosquito.
Linkage Mapping Using Dihybrid Testcrosses in Fruit Flies
In fruit flies, the normal honey-gray body-color (bl*) is dominant to black (bl),
having normal red eyes (pu+) is dominant to purple (pu), and having normal
wings (vg+) is dominant to vestigial (vg). The three genes are located close
together on the same chromosome.
Your task is to use data from three dihybrid testcrosses to (1) calculate
recombination frequencies, (2) convert recombination frequencies into map
distances, and (3) build a map of the chromosome interval covered by the
three genes, indicating their order and distances between them.
BLACK PURPLE DIHYBRID CROSS
In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female
(bl+/blt;put/pu+) with a pure-breeding black, purple male (bl/bl;pu/pu) to
produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (bl+/bl;pu*/pu). Note that the F1
flies are all dihybrid.
Next, you mate several F1 dihybrid females (bl+/bl;pu*/pu) with tester males,
which are black, purple…

- mapping gene The genes for ruby eyes (rb), tan body (t) and cut wings (ct) are all found on the X-chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster. All of these are recessive traits. They map in the order rb, ct, t with 12.5 map units between rb and ct and 7.5 map units between ct and t.

Answer ; All human being's have 23 pairs of chromosome .Human males have 22 pairs at autosomes and coutain one or two types of sex chromosome .they are either X And Y .on contrary, females have 22 pairs of autosomes and contain only the X sex chromosome .the Sex of an individual is determined by the type of the male gametes (X or Y) , which fuses with the X chromosome of the female. Ic the fertilizing sperms is X , then the baby will be girl and if it is Y, then the baby will be boy .Hence , it is incorrect to blame a women for the gender of the child.arrow_forwardKaryogram and Identification of Chromosomal Aberrations List down five human chromosomal aberrations.
