Extracted text: The Oregon creeping vole, Microtus oregoni, has a very unusual meiosis?. In this rodent, males are XY, while females are XØ (that is, females have only a single X chromosome). During female meiosis, eggs that receive no maternal X chromosome do not mature, so females only produce eggs with exactly one X chromosome. As chromosome content is unchanged from generation to generation, M. oregoni males (who are XY) must deliberately nondisjoin their sex chromosomes. 1a) What types of sperm would M. oregoni have to produce (considering only their sex chromosome content) so that progeny get the right chromosomes? Remember, no inviable combinations are normally produced. 1b) Draw a Punnett square for the sex chromosomes in a M. oregoni mating, with the gametes that are actually produced.
