Nondisjunction
Caption:
Nondisjunction during the first and second meiotic divisions. In both cases, some of the gametes that are formed either contain two members of a specific chromosome or lack that chromosome. After fertilization by a gamete with a normal haploid content, monosomic, disomic (normal), or trisomic zygotes are produced.

Involvement of Colchicine
Caption:
The potential involvement of colchicine in doubling the chromosome number. Two pairs of homologous chromosomes are shown. While each chromosome had replicated its DNA earlier during interphase, the chromosomes do not appear as double structures until late prophase. When anaphase fails to occur normally, the chromosome number doubles if the cell reenters interphase.

The Origin and Propagation of an Amphidiploid
Caption:
The origin and propagation of an amphidiploid. Species 1 contains genome A consisting of three distinct chromosomes, a1, a2 and a3. Species 2 contains genome B consisting of two distinct chromosomes, b1 and b2. Following fertilization between members of the two species and chromosome doubling, a fertile amphidiploid containing two complete diploid genomes (AABB) is formed.

Terminal and Intercalary Deletions
Caption:
Origins of (a) a terminal and (b) an intercalary deletion. In (c), pairing occurs between a normal chromosome and one with an intercalary deletion by looping out the undeleted portion to form a deletion (or compensation) loop.

Duplicated and Deficient Regions of Chromosomes
Caption:
The origin of duplicated and deficient regions of chromosomes as a result of unequal crossing over. The tetrad on the left is mispaired during synapsis. A single crossover between chromatids 2 and 3 results in the deficient (chromosome 2) and duplicated (chromosome 3) chromosomal regions shown on the right. The two chromosomes uninvolved in the crossover event remain normal in gene sequence and content.

Single Crossover within an Inversion Loop
Caption:
The effects of a single crossover within an inversion loop in (a) a paracentric inversion, where two altered chromosomes are produced: one acentric and one dicentric. Both chromosomes also contain duplicated and deficient regions. The effects of this crossover in (b), a pericentric inversion, produces two altered chromosomes, both with duplicated and deficient regions.

Insights and Solutions
Caption:
A male Drosophila from a wild-type stock is discovered to have only seven chromosomes, whereas normally 2n = 8. Close examination reveals that one member of chromosome IV (the smallest chromosome) is attached to (translocated to) the distal end of chromosome II and is missing its centromere, thus accounting for the reduction in chromosome number.
