In the hypothetical extraterrestrial organism, the Quagarre, the immunoglobulin genes undergo rearrangements similar to those in humans, with two main differences. One difference is that the κ light-chain V regions are located on chromosome 4 and the other κ light-chain regions are located on chromosome 10. Another difference is that the Quagarre immunoglobulin genes do not rearrange until the creature is 13 years old. By examining a mitotic spread of chromosomes from a Quagarre B cell, how could you estimate the creature’s age?
