Questions 12 13 The Gene For Fingernail Texture Is Found On The X Chromosome Smooth Fingernail Is Dominant To Rough F 1 (729.15 KiB) Viewed 201 times

Questions 12-13 The gene for fingernail texture is found on
the X-chromosome. Smooth fingernail is dominant to rough
fingernail. Assume recombination does not occur. For
each of the following families, identify the possible
nondisjunction events (rare mistakes during meiosis) that could
explain the phenotype of the offspring.
1.An XX parent with rough fingernails and an XY parent with
smooth fingernails have an offspring with Klinefelter Syndrome
(genotype XXY) with rough fingernails. Non-disjunction might have
occurred in Meiosis II of the XX parent.
a.
True
b.
False
2.An XX parent with smooth fingernails and an XY parent with
rough fingernails have an offspring with Klinefelter Syndrome
(genotype XXY) with rough fingernails. Non-disjunction might have
occurred in Meiosis I of the XY parent.
a.
True
b.
False
