Genetics Exam Review Problem on Mitosis and Meiosis
1. A woman is know to be carrying a severe recessive autosomal gene. It is possible to determine whether a cell or poloar body is carrying the normal or dissorder recessive. The detection procedure destroys the ovum.
2. She has opted for in vitro fertilization so the the egg and sperm can be united in a test tube. To avoid having to select a normal embryo and destroy others, she wants to be certain the egg is not carrying the mutation. It is possible to have the oocyte continue meiosis in a test tube.
3. What would you want to see in the poloar body at the first meiotic division? What would you want to see in the second meitoic division? You must be able to diagram oogenesis and segregation of the genes. Do not give probabilities, only certainy.
