A person is simultaneously heterozygous for three genetic traits. One is a recessive condition for albinism (alleles A and a); this albinism gene is found near the centromere on the long arm of an acrocentric chromosome. A gene for the recessive condition cystic fibrosis (alleles B and b) is linked to the albinism gene and found near the telomere of the long arm. There is a trans linkage arrangement for these genes in the heterozygous individual. The third independently assorting trait is the dominantly inherited Huntington's disease (allele HD and hd). The Huntington gene is located near the end of one of the arms of a metacentric chromosome.

Draw all copies of the described chromosomes in this person as they would appear during metaphase I of meiosis.
