Question
Chapter 19, Problem 1CQ
a.
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether mutation has occurred in the segmentation gene or the homeotic gene if three abdominal segments are missing.
Introduction: In Drosophila, regulation of the process of pattern formation and morphogenesis occurs with the help of certain genes such as segmentation genes and homeotic genes. A mutation in these genes leads to alteration in the patterns of segmentation and morphology of the organism.
b.

You have identified a Drosophila gene that is expressed exclusively in the odd-numbered "stripes" in the cellular blastoderm. Assuming that this gene is not redundant, what
would be the most likely phenotype cause by a loss-of-function mutation in this gene?
an embryo missing odd numbered segments
an adult fly with a second pair of wings instead of halteres
an embryo with two anterior ends
an embryo missing even-numbered segments
an embryo missing larval segments 3-10
Why is parthenogenesis in bees considered to be a form of asexual reproduction?
Select one:
a. The male drone is made from a haploid egg. Fertilization is not part of the process to make a male drone.
b. The formation of the original haploid cell was achieved using binary fission.
c. Although genetic material is transferred from one cell to another using conjugation, the resulting cells will be identical to each other.
d. The haploid male bees were made through the process of meiosis, so they are identical to the parent egg cell.
In fruit flies, normal wings (A) are dominant to dumpy wings (a) and the presence of eyes (B) is dominant to
the absence of eyes (b). Creat a dihybrid cross. what is the phenotype of each fly

This quirk of genetics results from the fact that bees have haplodiploid sex determination, in which females are diploid, with a mother and a father, but males are haploid, developing from unfertilized eggs. Because males are haploid, they produce sperm by mitosis. Explainwhy haplodiploid sex determination causes females to be more closely related to their sisters than to their offspring.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about cleavage in C. elegans.
