Genomes A, B, and C all have basic chromosomenumbers (x) of nine. These genomes were derivedoriginally from plant species that had diverged from each other sufficiently far back in the evolutionarypast that the chromosomes from one genome can nolonger pair with the chromosomes from any other genome. For plants with the following kinds of euploidchromosome complements, (i) state the number ofchromosomes in the organism; (ii) provide terms thatdescribe the individual’s genetic makeup as accurately as possible; (iii) state whether or not it is likelythat this plant will be fertile, and if so, give the number of chromosomes (n) in the gametes.a.

This will represent the chromatin in a cell. The wires of the same length are homologous. Red wires will represent the chromatin from the female parent while green wires represent the chromatin from the male parent. Label the chromatin as follows: long green- 1a short green- 2c long red- 1b short red- 2d 2- Let the cell pass S phase. Replicate or duplicate each chromatin fiber. Do this by getting another set of wire identical to the original set. Label as before. 3- Combine the replicated chromatin fiber using masking tape. The tape will also mark the position of the centromere. For the short chromatin, place the tape exactly at the middle while for the long chromatin, place it at a point % from the end of the wire. 4- Assume that the chromosome fibers are folded. This will now represent the chromosomes. OR Varrow_forwardAnalyzing Karyotypes 1. Originally, karyotypic analysis relied only on size and centromere placement to identify chromosomes. Because many chromosomes are similar in size and centromere placement, the identification of individual chromosomes was difficult, and chromosomes were placed into eight groups, identified by the letters A to G. Today, each human chromosome can be readily identified. a. What technical advances led to this improvement in chromosome identification? b. List two ways this improvement can be implemented. c. What clinical information does a karyotype provide?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardDeletion mapping: In your diploid model organism, one copy of the chromosome has all normal, dominant alleles of these genes. It is P Q R STU V (not necessarily in that order). But the other copy of the chromosome has all recessive alleles, p q r stu v. You find various deletions in which chunks of the "dominant chromosome" are missing, and so there are recessive phenotypes as shown: Phenotype -- recessive for genes...
