Alleles A, B, C and D are linked on one chromosome, and alleles a, b, c and d are linked on the homolog. During meiosis, a crossover event occurs between genes A and B. Which of the following is an example of a chromatid that could be found in one of the resulting gametes?
Question
Alleles A, B, C and D are linked on one chromosome, and alleles a, b, c and d are linked on the homolog. During meiosis, a crossover event occurs between genes A and B. Which of the following is an example of a chromatid that could be found in one of the resulting gametes?
Solution
The crossover event between genes A and B means that part of the chromosome with alleles A, B, C, and D will swap with the corresponding part of the chromosome with alleles a, b, c, and d.
So, after the crossover event, one of the chromatids could have the following combination of alleles: a, b, C, and D.
This is because the section of the chromosome with alleles A and B has been swapped with the section of the chromosome with alleles a and b. The rest of the chromosome remains the same, so the alleles C and D are still present.
