Two brothers have X‑linked red–green colorblind vision, and their parents have normal color vision. The first brother's karyotyp

e is 47,XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), and the second brother's karyotype is 46,XY. In which parent and in what cell division phase did the first brother's chromosomal nondisjunction occur? Assume no recombination.
(A) in the father in meiosis I
(B) in either parent in somatic cell mitosis
(C) in the father in meiosis II
(D) in the mother in meiosis II
(E) in the mother in meiosis I

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, in the mother in meiosis II.

Explanation:

A nondisjunction in meiosis I produce all the aneuploid gametes, while nondisjunction at meiosis II produces 50 percent aneuploid gametes and the 50 percent normal gametes comprising haploid number of chromosomes.  

As it is mentioned that one of the brothers possess normal number of chromosomes (46), the mother encounters nondisjunction at meiosis II resulting in the formation of one n+1 gamete exhibiting two copies of X chromosome. Fertilization of this n+1 gamete with sperm results in the creation of zygote (47, XXY).

What is natural selection
AlekseyPX

Natural selection is a central concept of evolution. Natural selection is the process where organisms with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce. In doing so, they pass on these traits to the next generation. Over this time this process allows organisms to adapt to their environment.

Let Y = yellow and y = green, and R = round and r = wrinkled. You cross YYRR peas with yyrr peas. All of the F1 individuals are
lukranit [14]

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Given that the F2 cross produces offspring according to the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio.

YyRr X YyRr:

Let us break the dihybrid cross into individual monohybrid crosses.

Yy X Yy :

    Y     y

Y  YY  Yy

y   Yy   yy

2/4 or 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Similarly, in Rr X Rr cross, 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Together, 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of F2 plants are expected to be heterozygous for both traits.
