Loss of an X-chromosome in a particular cell, during its development, results intoA. diploid individualB. triploid individualC. gynandromorphsD. Both (a) and (b) |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Gynandromorphs are those individuals in which one part of the body is female while another part is male. It occurs due to the irregularity in mitosis at the first cleavage of the zygote. One of the X-chromosomes of an XX (female) zygote lags in the spindle, one daughter nucleus receives only one X-chromosomes. while the other receives two X-chromosomes. A mosaic body pattern is thus established which is known as gynandromorph. |
