- Rainbow trout go through a unique genetic reproductive process. Female eggs are diploid, while male sperm are haploid. In the wild, when the sperm fertilizes an egg, the extra set of chromosomes is kicked out, resulting in a diploid offspring.Triploid trout are produced in the lab to provide sterile fish stock for lakes. Shortly after the eggs are fertilized, scientists place them in a warm water bath to prevent the extra chromosomes from being removed. The result is a triploid fish that cannot reproduce.Rainbow Trout: n = 30 Global warming is an issue affecting many species around the world. Warming has caused the temperatures in lakes and rivers to increase and stay elevated for longer periods of time. Select the FOUR numbers that describe the possible effects of global warming on the reproduction of rainbow trout in the wild and on biodiversity. The extra set of chromosomes remains. The extra set of chromosomes is removed. The offspring are diploid (2n). The offspring are triploid…arrow_forward7. The following diagram shows 2 pairs of autosomal chromosomes in a karyotype of a biological woman. Based on the karyotype, a genetic counsellor determined that there is evidence that a translocation occurred between two non-homologous chromosomes. The other 21 pairs of chromosomes are NOT shown in this diagram. Assume no chromosomal aberrations occurred in the other chromosomes. As a student-researcher, the genetic counsellor asks you if you can determine whether the translocation occurred in a somatic cell, germ-line cell, or whether this can even be determined from the figure? Provide an answer and the reasoning for your answer. Darrow_forwardWhy do some genes express themselves later in life? Why not earlier? How many chromosomes in a human that has trisomy-15? How many chromosomes in a human that is triploid?arrow_forward
- A human protein, MC1R is responsible for telling human cells what type of pigment proteins to produce. One version of MC1R causes cells to make red pigments, while another version causes our cells to make black pigments. The red version causes red hair. The black version causes black hair. The two versions are called O homozygous and heterozygous homologous chromosomes alleles sister chromatidsarrow_forward1. How often does XYY Syndrome occur in humans? 2. What are the characteristics of Marfan Syndrome and what famous person had Marfan Syndrome? 3. Can biological females inherit Y linked traits? 4. Which sex chromosome carries more genes?arrow_forwardExplain this to me…..arrow_forward
- Help me understand please……arrow_forwardHow do the chromosomes in a male human differ from those in a female human? Males have one extra pair of autosomes. Females have one extra pair of autosomes. Males have a Y chromosome, which females lack. Males have two X chromosomes, and females have only one X chromosome.arrow_forwardCan someone help with this question?arrow_forward
- Fill in the blanks. The name applied to the regions on the chromosome that control inherited traits is a _______ . These regions are segments of ______ and are responsible for manufacturing a ______ that becomes either an ______ or a structural protein.arrow_forward(a) A person with Down syndrome. She has 47 chromosomes rather than the common number of 46, because she has an extra copy of chromosome 21. (b) A wheat plant. Cultivated wheat is derived from the contributions of threewild species with two sets of chromosomes each, producing an organismwith six sets of chromosomes.Do these examples constitute variation in chromosomestructure or variation in chromosome number?arrow_forward
