Chapter 11, Problem 2ITD
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effects of photoperiod on male production using an example from the data and compare it with the effect of temperature.
Introduction:
Aphids are sap-sucking insect pest that is commonly found in nature. Photoperiodism plays an important role in the reproduction of these species. The wingless females give birth to young ones in spring and summer but in winter they switch to the oviparous mode reproduction.

In 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.
Include 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)

- Why must the life cycle of sexually reproducing species alternate between haploid and diploid stages? A) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of chromosomes in each generation. B) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of chromosomes in each generation. C) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of chromosomes in each generation. D) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of chromosomes in each generation.arrow_forwardWhy 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.arrow_forwardYou find two closely related species of fly, one (P) of which appears to reproduce parthenogenetically (a form of asexual reproduction) while the other (S) reproduces sexually. In the same location, I find a third kind of insect, a sterile defensive form with enlarged mandibles. Because it is sterile, I conclude this form must be produced by either P or S. Which do you think is most likely the producer of the sterile defensive individuals? Answer:arrow_forward
