A Probability Model for Evaluating the Randomness of the Assortment of Chromosomes during Somatic Reduction.

چکیده
Pollen mother cells with reduced numbers of chromosomes have been observed in wheat, its hybrid derivatives and amphiploids. Models are presented here for calculating the exact probability of the occurrence of any particular combination of single chromosomes and chromosome pairs in any reduced cell. Hence, it is possible to evaluate randomness of chromosome assortment in somatic reduction. Several sets of data reported by other investigators on somatic reduction in Triticum are analyzed, and we conclude that in those instances chromosomes assort at random.

Background: Sperm chromatin insufficiencies leading to low sperm count and quality, infertility and transmission of chromosomal microdeletion and aneuploidies to next generations can be due to exposure to environmental pollutions, chemicals and natural or manmade ionizing radiation. In this project which has continued for more than 10 years and is unique in many technical aspects in Iran and in...

Somatic cycloheximide-resistant mutants of syngen 1 of Tetrahymena pyriformis were isolated and genetically characterized. Two properties of the mutants were independently examined: (a) The transmission of the mutant phenotype during conjugation and (b) the kinetics of phenotypic assortment during vegetative propagation. The results of both studies strongly support the idea that these somatic m...

متن کاملBertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random
The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...
متن کاملEvaluating the capabilities of Logistic Model Tree in predicting the occurrence probability of daily precipitation
Due to the location of Iran in arid and semi-arid regions and the inhomogeneous distribution of precipitation, predicting the occurrence of precipitation is important, therefore, researchers are implementing novel methods to identify and predict this parameter accurately. Thus the purpose of the current study is to investigate the capabilities of Logistic Model Tree (LMT) in predicting the occu...
