In a typical Mendelian population, individuals carrying gene ‘a’ in homozygous condition suffer from phenylketonurea. Those with A in homozygous condition are normal. Others, who are heterozygotic with Aa, are carriers. If the frequency of ‘a’ in a population is 0.20, what is the percentage of normal individual in the population?

In individuals heterozygous for a chromosome inversion, the homologous chromosomes form a loop in prophase I of meiosis.

Which of the following is effect of inversion?

A. A dicentric and an acentric chromosome in meiosis I as the chiasmata gets terminated when inversion includes centromere  

B. Appearance of deletion and duplication in both the cross over products chromosomes when centromere outside of inversion region  

C. All recombinant gamete are non-viable gametes when single crossing over within inverted region; irrespective to paracentric or pericentic inversion

D. Nonviable gametes are usually produced, resulting in a depression in observed recombination frequencies.

Aneuploids may arise through nondisjunction, the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate in meiosis. Following some statement are correct.

A)  Meiosis I non-disjunction leads to produce all gamete become aneuploidy

B) Meiosis II non-disjunction leads to produce half of gametes n+1 other half normal haploid

C) Meiosis I non-disjunction leads to produce half of gametes n+1 other half n-1

D) Either meiosis I or meiosis II non-disjunction leads to produce all aneuploidy gamete
