- In the species Chinchilla chinchilla, Neotropical crepuscular rodent of the parvorder Caviomorpha, a mating between a homozygous long-tailed chinchilla male and a homozygous short chinchilla female will produce all medium length tail chinchilla offspring. When these medium length tail chinchilla offspring F₁ are mated, their offspring consists of 3 tail-less chinchillas, 24 long-tailed chinchillas, 120 medium-length tailed chinchillas, and 15 short-tailed chinchillas.

Please explainarrow_forwardWhat prevents an individual from mating with itself?arrow_forwardf you had two guinea pigs of opposite sex, both homozygous, one black and one brown, but you didn't know which was the dominant characteristic, how would you find out the dominant color? Select one: a. Mate them and see what color the offspring are-the other will be the dominant color b. Mate them and see what color the offspring are-that will be the dominant color c. The dominant color could not be determined by mating the two, then mating their offspring; further generations would have to be produced to determine the dominant color d. Mate them together, then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is-the other color will be the dominant color e. Mate them, then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is-that will be the dominant colorarrow_forward
- What determines whether a gamete is male or female? Explain why this difference predicts the two main forms of sexual selection.arrow_forwardIf two individuals have incompatible gametes, what will be the result of a mating event between them?arrow_forwardIn fruit flies and humans, sex is determined by an X-Y system. However, many organisms do not have the X-Y system of sex determination just like in birds. Instead, they have the Z-W system. Male birds are ZZ whereas, female birds are ZW. In chickens, barred feathers (ZB) are dominant over nonbarred feathers (Zb). If a barred female chicken mates a nonbarred male chicken, what is the probability of having barred female offspring? 50% 0% 25% 100%arrow_forward

If for this trait, a homozygous dominant fly is mated with a heterozygous fly, what is the probability that the fly will have brown eyes? 100% 0% 50 % O 25%arrow_forwardYou want to study the biological basis of sex determination. What model will you choose and why?arrow_forwardHow does the heterogametic sex differ from the homogametic sex? a. The heterogametic sex is male; the homogametic sex is female.b. Gametes of the heterogametic sex have different sex chromosomes; gametes of the homogametic sex all have the same sex chromosome.c. Gametes of the heterogametic sex all contain a Y chromosome; gametes of the homogametic sex all contain an X chromosome.arrow_forward
