1.What is the probability that a sperm from the father will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
2.What is the probability that an egg from the mother will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
3.What is the probability that their next child will have PKU?
Probability = ¼ (because each parent has ½ chance ½ X ½ = ¼)
4.What is the probability that their next child will be heterozygous for the PKU gene?
Probability = ½ (because each parent has ½ chance of donating the ‘P’ allele and ½ chance of donating the ‘p’ allele (½ x ½) + (½ x ½) = ½
Homologous chromosome pairs are separated
Meiosis 1 refers to the initial stage of meiosis where one parent cell divides into two daughter cells. This stage is where homologous pairs of chromosomes will segregate and separate from each other and move into the two daughter cells which result in the division of the total chromosomal number by half.
<h3>What happens during Meiosis 1 ?</h3>
Meiosis I ends when the chromosomes of each homologous pair arrive at opposing poles of the cell.
- The microtubules disintegrate, and a new nuclear membrane forms around each haploid set of chromosomes.
- The chromosomes uncoil, forming chromatin again, and cytokinesis occurs, forming two non-identical daughter cells.
