  • A diploid organism which has 12 chromosomes in its gametes would have how many chromosomes in its somatic cells?

    24 chromosomes
  • If a triploid human could survive, each of its somatic cells would have ? chromosomes.

    69 chromosomes
  • Under A microscope, you view a somatic cell (2n = 4) that is not dividing nor preparing for division. What do their chromosomes look like?

    ??
  • The Famously Drawn “X” Chromosome

    The "X" chromosome only exists in that form in prophase (they don't stay in X shaped form forever!)
  • What accounts for variation and resemblance in families?

    Heredity
  • why can’t mules have offspring?


    Different number
    chromosomes: donkeys have
    62, horses have 64.
    • Offspring have 63
    chromosomes (which can’t
    divide evenly)
  • What happens in crossing over after homologous chromosomes align?

    homologous portions of two non-sister chromatids trade places
  • Independent assortment of chromosomes

    # of combinations possible when chromosomes assort independently into gametes is 2n,
    n = haploid number
  • 1.4 Lecture deck 8: Chromosomal Inheritance

  • What is the probability of a child inheriting the dominant trait ifboth parents are heterozygous?

    The probability that the child will inherit the dominant phenotype/trait if both parents are heterozygous is 3/4
  • Probability of a child inheriting the dominant trait if one parent is homozygous dominant and the other does not carry the dominant allele at all?

    all children will receive dominant allele
