. 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.

A geneticist working on a haploid fungus makes a cross between two slow-growing mutants called mossy and spider (referring to the abnormal appearance of the colonies). Tetrads from the cross are of three types (A, B, C), but two of them contain spores that do not germinate.Devise a model to explain these genetic results, and propose a molecular basis for your model.arrow_forwardSolid Wire Models of Cell Division 1- Get four solid wires, 2 long (1 green and 1 red) and two short (1 green and 1 red). 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_forward
- Biologists have long been interested in the effects of radiation on cells. In one experiment, researchers examined the effect of radium on mitosis of chick embryo cells growing in culture. A population of experimental cells was examined under the microscope for the number of cells in telophase (as a measure of mitosis occurring) before, during, and after exposure to radium. The results are shown in the Figure. What is the effect of radium exposure on mitosis? Source: R. G. Canti and M. Donaldson. 1926. The effect of radium on mitosis in vitro.

- • Illustrate the chromosome changes in interphase and mitosis using a diploid cell that is 2n=4 (two large and two small chromosomes). • Label the circles as G1 and G2 stages of interphase and each phase of mitosis (in order). Draw the chromosome in each circle using the following guidelines. 1) For unreplicated chromosome draw a line (/) and for replicated chromosome draw an X. 2) For simplicity, do not indicate that the chromosomes are decondensed chromatin during interphase. ● 3) Skip drawing the nuclear membrane or spindle fibers, since we are focusing on the chromosomes. • Label genes in the resulting daughter cells as A/a and B/b. (These letters represent genes which are at icular places along the DNA molecule. Each chromosomes can have a thousand genes but we are focusing on these two.arrow_forward13 How many chromatids are shown in this DIAGRAM? How many centromeres?
