(a) Long chain molecules of fatty acids are formed by polymerisation of 2 carbon compounds. A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids that have carbon-carbon double or triple bonds are known as unsaturated. Fatty acids without double bonds are known as saturated. They differ in length as well. Long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) are fatty acids with aliphatic tails 13 to 21 carbons.

Question 1

Normal diploid somatic cells of the mosquito, Culex pipiens, contain 6 chromosomes: AmAp, BmBp, and CmCp, representing the three homologous chromosomal pairs. The "m" superscript indicates that the homolog is maternally derived, while the "p" indicates a paternally derived homolog. It is assumed that in the genus Culex, the sex chromosomes are morphologically identical. a) For each cell, draw and label the expected chromosome configuration: - Mitotic metaphase - Metaphase of meiosis I - Metaphase of meiosis II b) At which stage do sister chromatids go to opposite poles immediately after the above stages? c) Assuming that all nuclear DNA is restricted to chromosomes and that the amount of nuclear DNA essentially doubles during the S phase of interphase, how much nuclear DNA would be present in each cell listed above? Assume that the G1 nucleus contains 3.0x10^-12 grams of DNA. d) Given that the sexes of Culex are determined by alleles of one gene, with males heterozygous Mm and females homozygous mm, illustrate a labeled chromosomal configuration involving symbols AmAp, BmBp, and CmCp, as well as the M locus, in a primary spermatocyte at metaphase. Assume that the M locus is on the AmAp chromosome and that crossing over has not occurred between the M locus and the centromere.
