Question
A system of sex determination known as haplodiploidy is found in honeybees. Females are diploid, and
males (drones) are haploid. Male offspring result
from the development of unfertilized eggs. Sperm are
produced by mitosis in males and fertilize eggs in the
females. Ivory eye is a recessive characteristic in
honeybees; wild-type eyes are brown.
a. What progeny would result from an ivory-eyed
queen and a brown-eyed drone? Give both genotype and
fertilized and nonfertilized eggs.
b. What would result from crossing a daughter from
the mating in part (a) with a brown-eyed drone?

- Porcupines have 34 chromosomes. If a specific porcupine has 5 heterozygous chromosomes, how many different gametes can they produce via independent assortment?arrow_forwardParents pass chromosomes in gametes to form the zygote, which will grow and develop to become an adult. But in the gametes of the adult, each chromosome will be a mix of mothers and father genes, not exclusively mother’s or father’s, as they were in the zygote. Why is this?arrow_forwardit is possible that an alternative mechanism for generating germ cells could have evolved. consider meiosis in a germ cell precursor. if the S shape were skipped, whic meiotic devision would no longer be required.arrow_forward
- Morgan first suggested that theoriginal white-eyed male had two copies of the white-eye allele. Inthis problem, let’s assume that he meant the fly was XwYwinstead ofXw Y What crosses would need to be made to rule out the possibility thatthe Y chromosome carries a copy of the eye color gene?arrow_forwardWhat would happen to the chromosome number in gametes and offspring if gametes were formed by the mitotic process instead of the meiotic process?arrow_forwardIn fruit flies, chromosomal crossing over does not occur in meiosis in males, whereas crossing over does occur in meiosis in females. In fruit flies that are heterozygous at many genes (i.e. many maternal and paternal versions of the genes differ), at what stage would cells no longer be heterozygous for any gene during the process of meiosis? a)After the second meiotic division in males, and after the first meiotic division in females. b)After the second meiotic division in both males and females. c)After the first meiotic division in both males and females. d)After the first meiotic division in males, and after the second meiotic division in females.arrow_forward
