Chapter 3, Problem 6P

An organism has alleles R1 and R2 on one pair of homologous chromosomes, and it has alleles T1 and T2 on another pair. Diagram these pairs of homologs at the end of meta-phase I, the end of telophase I, and the end of telophase II, and show how meiosis in this organism produces gametes in expected Mendelian proportions. Assume no crossover between homologous chromosomes.

A diploid (2n) trihybrid individual with the genotype EeFfGg can make eight genetically different gametes.  Loci E/e and F/f are on chromosome 1 and locus G/g is on chromosome 2. Explain how a gamete containing the alleles e, f and g may be produced by meiosis. Refer specifically to meiotic events occurring during Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I and Anaphase II. (NB: remember to refer to the organism above).
During metaphase I of meiosis, tetrads align along the metaphase plate independently of each other. Therefore, there is a random “shuffle” of maternal and paternal chromosomes in the resulting gametes.The following diagram demonstrates how this works in a diploid cell with four chromosomes . Because there are two pairs of chromosomes and each pair can align in one of two ways during metaphase I, the number of possible variations in the gametes produced is , or .For an organism that is , there are three pairs of chromosomes, so the number of possible variations in the gametes produced due to independent assortment in metaphase I is , or . In an organism with a haploid number of , how many possible combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes can occur in its gametes? Select one: a. 72=49 b. 27=128 c.17=1 d. 214=16 384
Assume that a diploid cell (2N=8) contains 4 pairs of chromosomes (3 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes) designated as 1m, 1p, 2m, 2p, 3m, 3p, Xm, and Xp where "m" stands for maternal origin and "p" stands for paternal origin. Which of the following is/are possibilities for the chromosomal composition of each of the 2 daughter cells following meiosis 1? 1m, 2m, 3m, Xm AND 1р, 2р, Зр, Хр O 1m, 2p, 3p, Xm AND 1p, 2m, 3m, Xp O 1m, 1p, 2m, 2p, 3m, 3p, Xm, Xp AND 1m, 1p, 2m, 2p, 3m, 3p, Xm, Xp O 1m, 2p, 3m, Xp AND 1m, 2p, 3p, Xm
