An antigen found on red blood cells, Xg, is encoded by an X-linked allele (Xa) that is dominant over an allele for the absence of the antigen (X–). Scientists studied the inheritance of these X-linked alleles in children with chromosome abnormalities to determine where nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes occurred.
Match the genotypes of the parents and offspring to the parent and cell division stage in which the nondisjunction must have occurred. Shown as parent × parent = child.

Genetics: Use the information gathered in the X‑Linked Inheritance animation to answer the question. In the animation, the rare white‑eyed males generated from offspring of true‑breeding red‑eyed females and white‑eyed males were the result of a nondisjunction of X chromosomes in the female during meiosis I. Could white‑eyed males be generated in this cross by a nondisjunction of X chromatids in the female during meiosis II? Why or why not? A. No, if a nondisjunction of X chromatids occurred in...

A couple has a daughter with Turner syndrome, a condition in which only a single copy of the X chromosome is present. This results from nondisjunction, the failure of the X chromosome to segregate properly during meiosis. During which meiotic division, and in which parent, could nondisjunction have occurred to produce a child with this condition? Meiosis I in the mother Meiosis II in the mother Meiosis I in the father Meiosis II in the father

4. In mice, the Ayallele of agouti is dominant for yellow coat color but is homozygous lethal. A yellow mouse, Ay/A, that is also heterozygous for the albino allele, C/c, is crossed to an albino mouse that is also heterozygous for the Ayallele, Ay/A. c/c. What phenotypic ratios do you expect in the progeny? (True or False) a. if these genes are unlinked: 3/8 yellow, 1/8 agouti, 1/2 albino b. if these genes are unlinked: 1/3 yellow, 1/6 agouti, 1/2...

Two normal parents have a daughter with hemophilia (an X-linked recessive disorder) that also has Turner Syndrome. a. Write out the cross as described above illustrating the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and child. b. Did the non-disjunction event occur in the mother, the father, or could have occurred in either of the two parents? Did the nondisjunction event occur during meiosis I, meiosis II, or could it have occurred in either division during meiosis.

Two normal parents have a son with hemophilia (an X-linked recessive disorder) that also has Klinefelter Syndrome. a. Write out the cross as described above illustrating the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and child. b. Did the non-disjunction event occur in the mother, the father, or could have occurred in either of the two parents? c. Did the nondisjunction event occur during meiosis I, meiosis II, or could it have occurred in either division during meiosis.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is due to a rare X-linked dominant form of rickets. A man with XLH marries a healthy woman and they have a son with XLH. The MOST LIKELY explanation for this occurring is: A. During spermatogenesis in the father, Meiosis I non-disjunction of the X chromosome generated a disomic sperm. B. During spermatogenesis in the father, Meiosis II non-disjunction of the X chromosome resulted in a disomic sperm. C. During oogenesis in the mother, Meiosis I non-disjunction...

2. (5 PTS) You are presented with a patient, named Gerry, who has Down syndrome (trisomy 21). You determine that the nondisjunction event occurred in his mother, named Mary, during meiosis I. a. You are interested in the TPTE gene, which is near the centromere of chromosome 21. Virtually no recombination occurs between the centromere and the TPTE gene. Mary has two different alleles of the TPTE gene. Would Gerry's two chromosome 21s from his mother have the same or...
