An animal has a diploid chromosome number of 60. Suppose that the first meiotic division of a germ cell is normal, but a single

dyad in one of the two daughter cells undergoes non-disjunction in meiosis II. How many chromosomes would be present in each of the four gametes that result from that meiosis?

Answer:

Two gametes end up with 30 chromosomes, one gamete will have 31 and one will have 29.

Explanation:

During meiosis, a single diploid cell divides into four haploid cells with half the chromosome number than the parent cell.

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate and the chromosome number in the two daughter cells goes down by half. During meiosis II, the "sister" chromatids separate, and the chromosome number in the respective daughter cells remains the same.

Non-disjunction of a single dyad in meiosis II causes that one of the daughter cells will have an extra chromosome, and another will be lacking one. The two other gametes will be normal.

I drew a simple example of what would happen during meiosis of a 2n=4 cell if there was non-disjunction in a single dyad during meiosis II.

Being interested in penguins, Paul wanted to study the effect of fast food hamburgers on the weight of penguins. After many tria
iragen [17]

The experiment conducted by Paul was not a waste of his time and resources even though he could not accomplish the experiment he initially prepared to conduct. The reluctance of the penguins to eat burgers even though they were starving and losing weight pointed towards the fact that they do not find junk food appealing. It could be concluded from their reluctance that they will eat only their normal diet rather than something they have never eaten before.
