Summary Introduction
To explain: The perpetuation of parental traits and
Theme introduction:
The transmission of traits to the next generation is known as heredity and the heritable information is in the form of DNA. The offsprings resemble their parents but are somewhat different in their genetic makeup which explains the genetic variation.

- List three reasons why individuals that result from sexual reproduction do not have the same DNA instructions as their parents.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_forwardHelparrow_forward

Genic XY sex chromosomes ZW sex chromosomes Haplo-diploid genomes XO sex chromosomes Environmental [Choose ] [C [C [C [C [C ✓ [Choose ] More than one answer is correct Females have one more chromosome compared to males Females have twice as many chromosomes compared to males Females show a pair of differentiated sex chromosomes Males show a pair of differentiated sex chromosomes No visible differencearrow_forwardSome organisms are capable of asexual or sexual reproduction. Under favorable conditions, reproduction proceeds asexually. When conditions become more stressful reproduction switches to a sexual mode. Why? Question options: Sexual reproduction is simple and more rapid allowing larger numbers of offspring to be produced. Sexual reproduction requires two separate individuals, who can mutually provide nutrient support during stress. Sexual reproduction produces individuals with new combinations of recombined chromosomes increasing diversity. Asexual reproduction requires more energy.arrow_forwardExplain step by step.arrow_forward
- Helparrow_forwardexplain how sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity from one generation to the next. Specifically, describe how crossing over and random alignment in meiosis create genetic diversity. Then describe how fertilization increases genetic diversity.arrow_forwardConsider a diploid organism that follows the XX-XO mode of sex determination. Normally, there are 7 chromosomes in its somatic cell. The chromosomal composition is as follows: Chromosome I is a large acrocentric chromosome Chromosome II is a large telocentric chromosome Chromosome III is a small telocentric chromosome Chromosome IV (X chromosome) is a medium submetacentric chromosome Aneuploidy was observed in a particular individual wherein there are three copies of Chromosome III. Illustrate the source of aneuploidy if it occurs in Meiosis I. Diagram spermatogenesis starting with the primary spermatocyte up to spermatozoa, making sure to distinguish between chromosomes and the different phases of meiosis I (prophase I*, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I). Indicate the respective chromosome equation and chromosome number of the primary spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte, spermatid, and spermatozoon.arrow_forward
