Answer:

The correct answer is - non-disjunction.

Explanation:

Calix's calico has an X chromosome gene that determines the color of fur. One allele forms orange fur and the other give rise to black. In heterozygous give rise to orange patches on black.

Mother has autosome and 2-X chromosomes.

Mass of 2 X chromosomes will be

= 40*2

= 80fg

So mass of autosomes = 1520-80

= 1440fg

Mass of sex chromosomes in father is = 1495-1440

= 55fg

So the mass of Y=55-40

= 15fg

It is clear that the mass of DNA of Calix is exactly 15 more than DNA of the mother. So we can say that Calix has an entire Y chromosome in extra.

So the answer is non-disjunction.

The right option is - non-disjunction.

Information regarding Calix’s calico:

It comprises of X chromosome gene that measured the fur color. In the case of heterozygous, it provides the increment with respect to orange that patches on black.

Since Mother has autosome and 2-X chromosomes.

So,

Mass of 2 X chromosomes should be

= 40*2

= 80fg

Now

The mass of autosomes should be

= 1520 - 80

= 1440fg

Now

Mass of s-ex chromosomes in father should be

= 1495-1440

= 55fg

Now finally the mass of Y is

= 55 - 40

= 15fg

Based on the above calculation, the mass of DNA of Calix should be 15 i.e. more than the DNA of the mother.
