Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

E) Either anaphase I or II

Explanation:

Failure of segregation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I or failure of segregation of sister chromatids during anaphase II leads to the presence of the abnormal number of chromosomes in resultant gametes. In the given example, the egg mother cell with 48 chromosomes (24 pairs) would enter meiosis I but the failure of one pair of homologous chromosomes to segregate from each other followed by normal meiosis II would result in the formation of two gametes with one extra chromosome and two gametes with one less chromosome.

On the other hand, if the nondisjunction occurs at anaphase II of meiosis II, two normal gametes, one gamete with one extra chromosome and one gamete with one less chromosome will be formed. Therefore, nondisjunction at anaphase I or anaphase II would have resulted in the production of eggs with one extra chromosome.

Alika [10]
B+ Bb Ww male × B+ Bb Ww female Because beardedness and coat color independently assort, we can treat them independently. The difference between this cross and a dihybrid cross is that the bearded allele B b is dominant in males and recessive in females. So we deal with male and female progeny separately. For each sex, then, we should get a typical dihybrid ratio. In males, the dominant phenotype is bearded, so we should get ¾ bearded, ¼ beardless. In females the dominant phenotype is beardless, so we should get ¾ beardless and ¼ bearded. Each sex will have ¾ black and ¼ white coats.
