Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 9TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INFORMATION In sexually reproducing species, each individual inherits DNA from both parent organisms. In a short essay (100-150 words), apply this idea to what occurs when organisms of two species that have homologous chromosomes mate and produce (F2) hybrid offspring. What percentage of the DNA in the F1 hybrids' Chromosomes comes from each parent species? As the hybrids mate and produce F2 and later-generation hybrid offspring, describe how recombination and natural selection may affect whether the DNA in hybrid chromosomes is derived from one parent species or the other.

A species of cereal rye (Secale cereale) has a chromosome number of 14, while a species of Canadian wild rye (Elymus canadensis) has a chromosome number of 28. Sterile hybrids can be produced by crossing Secale with Elymus. (a) What would be the expected chromosome number in the somatic cells of the hybrids? (b) Given that none of the chromosomes pair at meiosis I in the sterile hybrid (Hang and Franckowlak, 1984), speculate on the anaphase I separation patterns of these chromosomes.
Most eukaryotic organisms use sexual reproduction as their primary means of perpetuating their species. Gametes are formed via meiosis. However, some species primarily reproduce via asexual means. Reproduction is accomplished via mitosis. Aspen trees most commonly reproduce by such asexual methods of cloning.What are the advantages and disadvantages of reproduction by asexual means?
Why do some species reproduce in this manner?
Why don't all species?
For each of the following, identify what characteristics of a species male and female karyotype would indicate that mechanism of sex-determination. In each case, list a characteristic that would be specific to only that sex-determination system if possible. If no such characteristic is possible, specify which other sex-determination system would show the same karyotype characteristic.
(A) Genic
(B) XY sex chromosomes
(C) ZW sex chromosomes
(D) Haplo-diploid genomes
(E) XO sex chromosomes
(F) Environmental

- How is the process of meiosis responsible for variation among species? What mechanisms are involved in the process of meiosis and in which stage(s) do they take place? HINT: What are two important events that happen in meiosis but not mitosis that contribute to genetic diversity?arrow_forward2) Meiosis and sexual reproduction are, in large part, responsible for genetic variation within a population. Meiosis supports genetic variation in several ways. All BUT ONE applies to meiosis, sexual reproduction and genetic variation. A) Meiosis is preceded by DNA replication of chromosomes in the nucleus of the mother cell. B) As seen in the diagram, during meiosis crossing over, or swapping of DNA segments, may occur. C) During fertilization each parent randomly contributes a unique set of chromosomes to the zygote. D) Because of recombination and independent assortment during meiosis, each of the four gametes contains a different set of DNA. Not Gradedarrow_forwardInclude stages of reproduction in roaches - starting with the egg and sperm to zygote then to young offspring to adult( be sure to include the accurate number of chromosome)arrow_forward

A. In cross-fertilization the gametes from one plant are used to fertilize the gametes of another plantB. In cross-fertilization the gametes from one plant are used to fertilize the gametes from the same plant C. In self-fertilization the gametes from one plant are used to fertilize the gametes from another plantD. In cross-fertilization insects are used to pollinate the plants while in self-fertilization the investigator pollinates the plantsarrow_forwardExperiment: Saccharomyces cerevisiae can exist stably in either a haploid or a diploid state. A haploid S. cerevisiae cell has 16 chromosomes. When certain haploids come into contact, they fuse their cell walls and membranes, followed by the fusion of their nuclear membranes. The single nucleus now has 32 chromosomes, 16 from each parent strain, and is thus a diploid. Haploid yeast strains divide mitotically to give rise to haploid progeny, and diploid strains divide mitotically to give rise to diploid progeny. Certain haploids can fuse to form diploids. Haploid S. cerevisiae exists in two "mating types," called a and a. Mating occurs only between a and a cells; no mating occurs between cells of identical mating type. We have a collection of eight a haploid mutant strains and eight a haploid mutant strains of yeast unable to synthesize tryptophan (trp). These will be combined (mated) in all possible combinations to yield diploid strains. If the diploids can grow on minimal medium,…arrow_forwardIn what ways does sexual reproduction contribute to diversity?

Why is the number of people with blond hair only 5%–10% when so many people carry genes for blond hair? The duck-billed platypus has a unique mechanism of sex determination: females have five pairs of X chromosomes (X1X1X2X2X3X3X4X4X5X5) and males have five pairs of X and Y chromosomes (X1Y1X2Y2X3Y3X4Y4X5Y5). Do you think each of the X and Y chromosome pairs in males assort independently of other X and Y pairs during meiosis? Why or why not? How is the inheritance of X-linked traits different from the inheritance of autosomal traits? How is the inheritance of X-linked and autosomal traits similar? List as many differences and similarities as you can.arrow_forward
