Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Compare the following three terms: polyploidy, aneuploidy, and nondisjunction. Briefly discuss examples of each of these conditions.
Alloploids are produced by crosses involving two different species. Explain why alloploids may be reproductively isolated from the two original species from which they were derived. Explain why alloploids are usually sterile, whereas allotetraploids (containing a diploid set from each species) are commonly fertile.
What are chromosomal disorders? Also gives a suitable example.
Discuss the following sets of terms: a) trisomy and triploidy, b) aneuploidy and polyploidy.
Consider three genes: X, Y, and Z. The X and Y genes are on the same chromosome; gene Y is on a different chromosome. An organism is heterozygous for all three genes. The cell’s parents were both homozygous for all three genes. This organism produces a gamete with the dominant X allele. Which of the following is true of this gamete? A. It is likely to have both the dominant Y and Z alleles. B. It is likely to also have the dominant Y allele but not necessarily the dominant Z allele. C. It is likely to also have the dominant Z allele but not necessarily the dominant Y allele. D. It is not more likely to have either the dominant Y or dominant Z alleles.
Compare an autotetraploid and an allotetraploid to each other with respect to the characteristics listed below. Answer auto, allo, both or neither for each statement. a) Balanced and unbalanced gametes can form.b) Contains 4 homologous copies of every chromosome.c) Originated from 2 different ancestral diploid species.d) Fully fertile.
Aneuploidy is typically detrimental, whereas polyploidy is sometimes beneficial, particularly in plants. Discuss why you think this is the case.
Inversion heterozygosity occurs in organisms with one inverted chromosome and one noninverted homolog. Interestingly, chromosomal pairing between two such chromosomes is accomplished only if they form an inversion loop. Use the diagram to predict the consequences of a single crossover event within a paracentric inversion heterozygote during gamete formation.
A diploid species with 44 chromosomes (i.e., 22 per set) is crossedto another diploid species with 38 chromosomes (i.e., 19 per set).Define key terms. Make a calculation. Predict the outcome.
Consider a hypothetical DIPLOID organism with ONE PAIR of homologous chromosomes. How many DNA molecules are there per nucleus in a somatic cell in G1? 4 8 2 1 Picture 1 shows Bob’s chromosome #18 pair. Picture 2 shows Sue’s chromosome #18 pair. Bob and Sue have a stillborn son with three copies of chromosome #18 that look like picture 3. In which parent did the chromosome separation problem occur? Bob Sue Both parents You need additional information to determine which parent. Starting with a population of genetically identical mice, you discover two new independent mutant strains in which all of the animals have epileptic seizures. In both strains, you know that the epileptic seizures are due to a single DNA mutation. You cross a mutant mouse from one strain to a mutant mouse from the second strain and find that none of their many offspring undergo spontaneous seizures. From…
