Question

mays is a diploid species with 10 pairs of chromosomes in each somatic cell. How many chromosomes will be found per cell in each of the following chromosome mutants? Questions 64 to 67 are connected 64) Trisomy? E) 21 D) 30 A) 19 B) 22 65) Monosomy E) 21 A) 19 B) 22 C) 60 66) triploid E) 21 B) 22 67) Tetrasomy D) 30 E) 21 A) 19 B) 22 68) Species I has 2n -12 chromosomes and species I has 2n-14 chromosomes. What would be the expected chromosome numbers in individual organisms with the following chromosome mutations? Allotriploidy including species I and II A) 12 or 14 D) 6 or 7 ?) 20 and 30 B)24 or 28 d) 190r 20 59) These scientists conducted experiment with N14 and N15 isotopes and discovered that DNA replica is semi-conservative A) Watson and Crick D) Watson and Chargaff B) Meselson and Stahl C) Avery and McCathy E) Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins 70) This scientist injected mice with the two strains of bacteria, one virulent (S) and the other aviruler (R). The S bacteria strain killed mice whereas the avirulent R bacteria did not. When S strain was he killed and mixed with R strain and injected to mice, it died.

Explanation / Answer

Zea mays:

2n = 20

n = 10

64. Trisomy = One extra copy of a chromosome = 2n + 1 = 21

65. Monosomy = Absence of a chromosome = 2n - 1 = 19

66. Triploid = 3n = 30

67. Tetrasomy = 2n + 2 = 22

68. Allotriploid = n from one species and 2n from another species = 6 + 14 or 12 + 7 = 19 or 20

69. Messelson and Stahl conducted experiments with radioisotopes to confirm the semiconservative nature of DNA replication.

70. Griffith performed transformation experiments on Streptococcus.

71. Watson and Crick used the data from Franklin, Chargaff, and Pauling.

72. The virus contains Uracil and does not follow Chargaff's rule. So, it must be a ssRNA virus.

73. Lysine and ARginine are found at the Histone tails.
