If a diploid sperm fertilized a diploid egg, what would the result be? Diploid (2n) Quadruploid(4n) A mixture of diploid (2n) and quadruploid (4n) Triploid (3n) Which of the following represents things that are identical? Two alleles for the same gene in a homologous chromosome pair The sequences of DNA in the two sister chromatids of a chromosome after meiosis I The number of homologous chromosomes per cell before and after meiosis I The number of chromosomes in each of the four daughter cells after meiosis II What problem would most likely occur if a haploid cell attempted to perform meiosis? The cell could not replicate its DNA prior to meiosis The cell could not pair homologous chromosomes during meiosis I The cell would produce diploid daughter cells. Which statement below is TRUE. Crossing over shuffles genes between non-homologous chromosomes During meiosis cells arrange their alleles so that beneficial alleles are passed on together. Without crossing over, offspring would be genetically identical to parents.

Solution

Answers:

6.2) If a diploid sperm fertilizes a diploid egg it will produce a tetraploid or quadruploid zygote.

6.3) the sequence of DNA in the two sister chromatids of a chromosome before meiosis 1.

6.4) the cell could not pair homologous chromosomes during meiosis 1.

6.5) crossing over shuffles genes between non homologous chromosomes.
