Consider the following diploid cell, in which 2n = 8. The blue chromosomes carrying genes A, B, C, and D are maternal in origin, whereas the red chromosomes carrying genes a, b, c, and d are paternally derived.
Note: In spite of suspect discrepancies in the drawing, this cell contains only acrocentric and metacentric chromosomes.
Which gene(s) is/are found on the p arm of an acrocentric chromosome? (my answer A C)
A.B.C.D
Which gene(s) is/are found on a metacentric chromosome? (B.D)
A.B.C.D
If this cell undergoes meiosis, how many tetrads will form during prophase I? 4
