The mosquito Culex pipiens contain 3 homologous pairs of chromosomes: A^mA^p, B^mB^p and C^mC^p for which m and p denotes the maternally and paternally inherited chromosome. List all possible chromosome combinations that would be found in a daughter cell following mitosis.

Solution

The three homologous pairs of chromosomes are, AmAp, BmBp, CmCp.

The possible chromosome combinations in the daughter cells are, ApBm, ApCm, AmBp, Amcp, BmCp, BpCm, BpCp.
