Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth. Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:

The Oregon creeping vole, Microtus oregoni, has a very unusual meiosis?. In this rodent, males are XY, while females are XØ (that is, females have only a single X chromosome). During female meiosis, eggs that receive no maternal X chromosome do not mature, so females only produce eggs with exactly one X chromosome. As chromosome content is unchanged from generation to generation, M. oregoni males (who are XY) must deliberately nondisjoin their sex chromosomes. 1a) What types of sperm would M. oregoni have to produce (considering only their sex chromosome content) so that progeny get the right chromosomes? Remember, no inviable combinations are normally produced. 1b) Draw a Punnett square for the sex chromosomes in a M. oregoni mating, with the gametes that are actually produced. Indicate the sex of each offspring. 1c) From which parent do M. oregoni get their X chromosomes? Circle one. Mom Only Random Mom or Dad Dad Only
Given your answers to below problem, is it possible to distinguishbetween the Protenor and Lygaeus mode of sex determinationbased on the outcome of these crosses? Probelm An insect species is discovered in which the heterogametic sex isunknown. An X-linked recessive mutation for reduced wing (rw)is discovered. Contrast the F1 and F2 generations from a crossbetween a female with reduced wings and a male with normalsizedwings when(a) the female is the heterogametic sex.(b) the male is the heterogametic sex.
Butterflies have an X-Y sex-determination system that is different from that of flies or humans. Female butterflies may be either XY or X0, while butterflies with two or more X chromosomes are males. This photograph shows a tiger swallowtail gynandromorph, which is half male (left side) and half female (right side). Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, propose a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the first mitosis might have produced this unusual-looking butterfly. Question is also in the picture.
Drosophila melanogaster has four pairs of chromosomes. Sperm for this species are formed by a meiotic process in which homologous chromosomes pair and segregate but do no undergo crossing over. How many genetically different kinds of sperm could be produced by a drosophila melanogaster male? 416 256 64 8
You are an allele on a single uncondensed chromosome in a Yellowfever-carrying mosquito (Aedes aegypti) diploid cell (2n = 6). Demonstrate in as much detail as possible (1) how you will get to each genetically identical diploid cell of the multicellular offspring; (2) how you will get to the next generation of sexually reproduced progeny. Help, I no understand. Perhaps you will?
BLACK VESTIGIAL DIHYBRID TESTCROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (bl+/blt.vg+/vg+) with a pure-breeding black, vestigial (bl/bl vg/vg) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (bl+/bl vg+/vg). Note that the F1 flies are all dihybrid. Next, you mate several F1 dihybrid females (bl+/bl vg+/vg) with tester males, which are black, vestigial (bl/bl;vg/vg). The offspring of this dihybrid testcross are: Phenotype Genotype Tester Gamete Dihybrid Gamete Number 440 Wild-type 394 108 135 Black, vestigial Vestigial Black Copy the table into your notes and derive the dihybrid gametes following the example in the previous section. The columns in blue (phenotypes and numbers of offspring) are what you can see and count. The genotypes of the testcross offspring (orange) must be deduced from the phenotypes and knowing that the tester contributed bl vg gametes. Finally, you can deduce the dihybrid gametes (green) by subtracting the tester gamete…
Using your knowledge of meiosis, explain why Drosophila progeny remain diploid? (2n=8)
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 assorts independently of other X and Y pairs during meiosis? Why or why not?
In Drosophila, the vestigial wings recessive allele,vg, causes the wings to be very small. A geneticistcrossed some true-breeding wild-type males to some vestigial virgin females. The male and female F1 flieswere wild type. He then allowed the F1 flies to matewith one another and found that 1/4 of the male andfemale F2 flies had vestigial wings. He dumped thevestigial F2 flies into a morgue and allowed the wildtype F2 flies to mate and produce an F3 generation.a. Give the genotype and allele frequencies amongthe wild-type F2 flies.b. What will be the frequencies of wild-type andvestigial flies in the F3?c. Assuming the geneticist repeated the selection againstthe vestigial F3 flies (that is, he dumped them in amorgue and allowed the wild-type F3 flies to mate atrandom), what will be the frequency of the wild-typeand mutant alleles in the F4 generation?d. Now the geneticist lets all of the F4 flies mate atrandom (that is, both wild-type and vestigial fliesmate). What will be the…

(This one is more complicated). Two true breeding fruit flies are allowed to mate. One fly ishomozygous dominant for body color and eye color while the other is homozygous recessive forbody color and eye color. (g+:gray body, g:black body, e+:ebony eyes, e:red), The F1 flies areallowed to mate. What are the following probabilities in the F2 generation? For this problemmake sure to show the Punnett Square for your F2 generation and all of your calculations. Youdo not need to show the Punnett Square for the F1 generation. Answer in percent and round to 2decimals.a. Two of three fruit flies are gray and red.b. The first fruit fly is gray and ebony, the second fruit fly is gray and red, and the third fruit fly is black and ebony.
