Question
A species of grasshopper normally has 8 chromosomes, 4 of which are acrocentric and 4 of which are metacentric. An unusual grasshopper is discovered and is found to have 7 chromosomes, 5 of which are metacentric and 2 of which are acrocentric. Which of the following is NOT likely to be true of the unusual grasshopper?
it arose as a result of a Robertsonian translocation
one of its metacentric chromosome is a translocation chromosome
one of its acrocentric chromosomes is a translocation chromosome
it is missing some of the genetic information that is present in the normal grasshoppers
none of the above - they are all likely to be true
