Solutions For An Introduction to Genetic Analysis Chapter 17 Problem 24P

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

In a tetraploid B/B/b/b, the number of possible quadrivalent pairings would be one. Only one possible quadrivalent can be formed. This quadrivalent would have 50% of recombinant products.

As shown in the figure, the number of quadrivalent pairings in a tetraploid would be one.

The possible pairings are shown in the figure below:

From a tetraploid:

• Two bivalents can pair

• One quadrivalent can pair

• One univalent and one trivalent can pair
