Question

An individual has the chromosomes below where the dot represents the centromere: ABCDEFG.H AEDCBFG.H If a crossover event occurs between the B and C loci, what is the longest chromosome formed?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the given sequence of chromosomes to represents the centro-mere is ABCDEFG.H AEDCBFG.H.

In case of crossing over among B and C, made recombinants will be;

1) ABCDEA  

2) H.GBCDEFG.H

However, out of these two made crossover chromosomes, only 1st recombinant chromosome as ABCDEA is the straight recombinants chromosome .

Answer 2

The longest chromosome formed is ABCDEA.

What is a chromosome?

Chromosomes should be treated as the structures that should be located inside the nucleus of animal & plant cells. Each & every chromosome should be made of protein & a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Since in the given situation there is the case of crossing over among B and C, made recombinants will be;

1) ABCDEA  

2) H.GBCDEFG.H

But only 1st recombinant chromosome as ABCDEA represent the straight recombinant chromosome.
