The diploid number for fruit flies is 8, and the diploid number for grasshoppers is 46. If no crossing over took place, would thc genetic variation among offspring from a given pair of parents be greater in fruit flies or grasshoppers? Explain.

Fruit flies are unusual in that the male fruit flies do not undergo crossovers during meiosis. If you had taken 20 of the F1 Males with lobe eyes and crossed them to 20 females that were true breeding for reduced bristles and disrupted wings what phenotypes and in what proportions would you expect in the offspring?
Sex determination in birds is different from that in humans. The sex chromosomes in birds are called Z and W, because males have two of the same chromosome (ZZ), whereas females have two different chromosomes (ZW). There is a Z-linked allele in some birds that causes the death of the embryo when the normal dominant allele is not present. What would be the sex ratio in the living offspring of a cross between a male heterozygous for the lethal allele and a normal female? A) What are the genotypes of the parents? Male____ Female____ B)  Which gametes would each form? Male____ Female____   C) Draw your Punnett square below and determine the sex ratios of living offspring.
The Yellow Fever mosquito has 2N number of 6 chromosomes and a Yellow dung fly has 2N number of 12 chromosomes, assuming that crossing over did not happen. Which of the following statement/s is/are correct? Select one: a. Independent assortment and random fertilization will have no impact on the genetic diversity of zygotes b. The genetic diversity among offspring will be same in Yellow dung fly and Yellow fever mosquito c The genetic diversity among offspring will be higher in Yellow dung fly compared to Yellow fever mosquito d. No genetic diversity will be produced among offspring in the two species e. Random fertilization can reduce the genetic diversity of zygotes in Yellow fever mosquito
