In comparing the genomes of humans and those of other higher primates, it is seen that humans have a large metacentric pair we call chromosome #2 among our 46 chromosomes, while the other primates of this group have 48 chromosomes and any pair like the human #2 pair is not present; instead the primate groups each have two pairs of midsize acrocentric chromosomes. What is the most likely explanation?

You are studying a new strain of E. coli that can utilize the disaccharide melibiose very efficiently. You find that utilization depends on the enzyme melibiase, which is encoded by the gene Mel1. Mel1 is not expressed unless melibiose is present in the growth medium.
Next, you isolate a third mutant, MelC–, which gives constitutive melibiase expression. The MelC– mutation is closely linked to Mel1 and MelB–. Genetic tests of the MelC– mutation yield the following:
 
As above, classify the MelC– mutation in terms of its basic genetic properties and explain how you arrived at your conclusions.
