Chapter 11, Problem 13TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The significance of mutation in meiotic and somatic cells of the survival of the individual and also to the species to which that individual belongs.
Introduction:
There are two types of cell division process: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division in which ploidy of daughter cells or chromosome number remains same to the parent cells. Meiosis is the process of division of cells that reduces the chromosome number by half and results in half the ploidy of chromosomes (as compared to parent cell) in daughter cells.

Students have asked these similar questions
A graduate student performing studies on mutations in drosophila (fruit flies) discovered a
strain of flies with a silent mutation in the gene controlling the shape of the wings. Further
investigation has shown that this mutation is lethal in flies who are homozygote. Flies that are
homozygote wild type or heterozygote can develop and are able to survive.
What is a silent mutation (in your own words) and propose a hypothesis that could explain
these observations using concepts learned. (a hypothesis is a proposed explanation based on
an observation or observations)
If you continue with biological studies in the future, you are most likely going to carry out fruit fly experiments. Drosophila melanogaster are used in genetics labs due to how inexpensive they are, how visible their traits are, and their high reproductive rate. In Drosophila, the gene for red and white eye colour is found on the X chromosome. The allele for red eyes (XR) is dominant to the allele for white eyes (Xr). You are asked to cross a pure breeding white-eyed female with a pure breeding red-eyed male. What are the genotypes of the individuals involved in this cross?

Genotype of the parent male
Answer
Genotype of the parent female
Answer
Genotype of the male offspring
Answer
Genotype of the female offspring
Answer
Bacteria populations displayed genetic variation such as antibiotic resistance due to mutation which is the likely source of mutation
