Chapter 13, Problem 4

If the DNA content of a diploid cell in the G1 phase of the cell cycle is x, then the DNA content of the same cell at metaphase of meiosis I will be a. 0.25x. b. 0.5x. c. x. d. 2x.

Video transcript

Hello everyone here. We have a question that says if we have a. D. N. A amount of 20 P. G. N. G. One, what will be the new DNA amount after the S. Phase during the interface stage? During the S. Phase, the genetic material is replicated from P. G. In the G. One stage so we will have 20 And it will be replicated so times two equals PG. So at the end of the s. Phase, during the interface stage there will be 40 p.g. So our answer is B. Thank you for watching. Bye.

Textbook Question

DRAW IT The diagram shows a cell in meiosis. a. Label the appropriate structures with these terms: chromosome (label as duplicated or unduplicated), centromere, kinetochore, sister chromatids, nonsister chromatids, homologous pair (use a bracket when labeling), homolog (label each one), chiasma, sister chromatid cohesion, and gene loci, labeling the alleles of the F and H genes.

Textbook Question

Assume that genes A and B are on the same chromosome and are 50 map units apart. An animal heterozygous at both loci is crossed with one that is homozygous recessive at both loci. What percentage of the offspring will show recombinant phenotypes resulting from crossovers? Without knowing these genes are on the same chromosome, how would you interpret the results of this cross?
