frank has klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY)...
Answer
Frank recieved the mutant chromosome from his Father
Nondisjunction occured in his Father during the First meiotic division.
Since, the mutant gene is present on X-chromosome of Father of Frank
Frank has also got this disease, therefore, the second chromosome of XXY combination must have been inherited from father.
Nondisjunction has occured at Meiosis- 1 Stage,
At meiosis -1 chromosomes separate (Not chromatids), therefore, one cell has recieved both chromosomes (XY)
Each chromosomes is made up of 2 chromatids.
At Meiosis -II chromatids separate. therefore, the sperm from such a cell recieves one chromatids from X and another chromatids from Y and forms XY combination
when this sperm with XY fuses with egg having X, there resultant zygote has XXY genotype

Bob has Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY) has normal color vision. His mother was color-blind due to a homozygous recessive mutation on the X chromosome (XbXb), but his father had normal color vision (XBY). Which parent underwent non- disjunction? Explain your answer.
A couple has a daughter with Turner syndrome, a condition in which only a single copy of the X chromosome is present. This results from nondisjunction, the failure of the X chromosome to segregate properly during meiosis. During which meiotic division, and in which parent, could nondisjunction have occurred to produce a child with this condition? Meiosis I in the mother Meiosis II in the mother Meiosis I in the father Meiosis II in the father
Two normal parents have a son with hemophilia (an X-linked recessive disorder) that also has Klinefelter Syndrome. a. Write out the cross as described above illustrating the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and child. b. Did the non-disjunction event occur in the mother, the father, or could have occurred in either of the two parents? c. Did the nondisjunction event occur during meiosis I, meiosis II, or could it have occurred in either division during meiosis.
Jack and his wife, Angela (27), have been referred to you by Angela’s gynecologist. Jack, a healthy male, has a family history of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (ED). The couple has one unaffected son, aged 2 years, and are contemplating having a second child. Ectodermal dysplasia is a disorder characterized by absence of sweat glands and malformed or missing teeth. Some persons having ED also have unusual hair growth patterns and mental retardation. Persons having the disease are at risk of...
22. [9 PTS] Turner syndrome results when an individual has a genotype of XO (a single X chromosome), and no other sex chromosomes. Color-blindness results from mutation of a single gene on the X chromosome. A couple, both of whom have normal color vision, have a color-blind child with Turner's syndrome. a. Did non-disjunction occur in the mother, or the father, or is it impossible to tell? Explain your answer. (3 pts) (continued next page. b. In the space provided...

Observation: Sex Chromosome Anomalies A female with Turner syndrome (XO) has only one sex chromosome, an X chromosome; the O signifies the absence of the second sex chromosome. Because the ovaries never become functional, these females do not undergo puberty or menstruation, and their breasts do not develop. Generally, females with Turner syndrome have a short build, folds of skin on the back of the neck, difficulty recognizing various spatial patterns, and normal intelligence. With hormone supplements, they can lead...
