Problem:
Males usually have 1 Y chromosome and 1 X chromosome (XY). However, in extremely rare cases males can have 2 Y chromosomes AND 3 X chromosomes (XXXYY). These males have severe mental retardation and hypogenitalia (incomplete genitalia development).
Required:
Question 1: Explain what events occurred during meiosis I and/or meiosis II of both parents to produce an offspring that is XXXYY t a molecular level.
Question 2: Diagram the X and Y chromosomes in the production of male and female gametes in this scenario.
Please explain the role of X and Y chromosome with the help of a diagram.
