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 humans, mammals and many other chordates sexual reproduction takes place by
fusion of large immobile ovum and small motile sperm. This kind of sexual
reproduction is:
Select one:
a. Isogamy
b. Schizogony
c. Oogamy
d. Conjugation
e. Polyteny
Which of the following mechanisms contributes to genetic variation through sexual reproduction via the random orientation of pairs of homologous chromosomes at metaphase of meiosis I?
A.
crossing over
B.
random fertilization
C.
independent assortment of chromosomes

cytokinesis

They contain half as much DNA as the nuclei of gametes produced by meiosis. b. They contain four times as much DNA as the nuclei of gametes produced by meiosis. c. They contain the same amount of DNA as the nuclei of gametes produced by meiosis. d.

More rapid evolution. B. Generation of novel genotypes. C. Clearance of deleterious mutations. D. Reduced relatedness.arrow_forwardIn C. elegans there are two sexes: hermaphrodite and male. Sex is determined by the ratio of X chromosomes to haploid sets of autosomes (X/A). An X/A ratio of 1.0 produces a hermaphrodite (XX), and an X/A ratio of 0.5 results in a male (XO). In the 1970s, Jonathan Hodgkin and Sydney Brenner carried out genetic screens to identify mutations in three genes that result in either XX males (tra-1, tra-2) or XO hermaphrodites (her-1). Double-mutant strains were constructed to assess for epistatic interactions between the genes (see table). Propose a genetic model of how the her and tra genes control sex determination.arrow_forward
