Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

The frequency of single crossover recombinant gametes (those with chromosomes having crossed over) occurring is half the frequency of the actual crossing over event. What would best explain this? O Each crossover takes place between only non-sister chromatids of a homologous chromosome pair O Crossovers occur in about 50% of meiosis events O This doesn't actually occur because all genes are on separate chromosomes O A test cross between a homozygous and heterozygote produces % heterozygotes and % homozygotes progeny O Shugoshin is inappropriately expressed in meiosis II causing nondisjunction to occur

If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many types of gametes can she produce with respect to that allele? c. If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many types of gametes can she produce with respect to that allele?
Please observe the tetrad of duplicated homologous chromosomes. Have a single crossover take place involving only two of the four chromatids between the B/b alleles and the D/d alleles. The crossover must take place between non sister chromatids. What combinations of alleles are now present on the chromatids?
The karyotype of a young girl who is affected with familialDown syndrome revealed a total of 46 chromosomes. Her olderbrother, however, who is phenotypically unaffected, actually had45 chromosomes. Explain how this could happen. What wouldyou expect to be the numbers of chromosomes in the parents ofthese two children?
To determine the recombination frequency of two linked genes, what genotypes of organisms are crossed? O Amy cross between two individuals will yield the same results O A homarygous dominant individual with a homozvgos recesshve O A heterozygous individual with a homozypous dominant individual O A heterozygous individual with a homozygous recessive individual O Two heterorygous individuals
On rare occasions, an organism may have three copies of achromosome and therefore has three copies of the genes on thatchromosome (instead of the usual number of two copies). Forsuch a rare organism, the alleles for each gene usually segregateso that a gamete will contain one or two copies of the gene. Let’ssuppose that a rare pea plant has three copies of the chromosomethat carries the height gene. Its genotype is TTt. The plant is alsoheterozygous for the seed color gene, Yy, which is found on adifferent chromosome. With regard to both genes, how manytypes of gametes can this plant make, and in what proportions?(Assume that it is equally likely that a gamete will contain oneor two copies of the height gene.)
What is the advantage of genetic recombination, which is depicted in part (b)?
DRAW IT Suppose, as in the questionat the bottom of Figure 15.9, the parental(P generation) flies were true-breedingfor gray body with vestigial wings andblack body with normal wings. Draw thechromosomes in each of the four possiblekinds of eggs from an F1 female, andlabel each chromosome as “parental”or “recombinant.”
EVOLUTION CONNECTION Crossing over is thought to beevolutionarily advantageous because it continually shufflesgenetic alleles into novel combinations. Until recently, it wasthought that the genes on the Y chromosome might degenerate because they lack homologous genes on the X chromosomewith which to pair up prior to crossing over. However, when theY chromosome was sequenced, eight large regions were foundto be internally homologous to each other, and quite a few ofthe 78 genes represent duplicates. (Y chromosome researcherDavid Page has called it a “hall of mirrors.”) Explain what mightbe a benefit of these regions.
