Chapter 21.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of only asexual reproduction of organisms in a population that have stopped the sexual reproduction by referring the concept 10.4.
Introduction:
Asexual reproduction involve production offspring from a single organism, that inherit the genes from one parent only whereas the sexual reproduction involve production of offspring from two individuals of different sexes (male and female), results in recombination of their genetic information in offspring.

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.

3)both male and female have to be virgins
4)either of them need to be virgins

- Please asaparrow_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_forwardA salamander can regenerate the entire front part of the brain; including sensory structures.

- In many hummingbird species in North America, males but not females have a bright red throat patch and both sexes show a preference for red-colored flowers over those with different colors. How would you determine that the sexual dimorphism in throat patch coloration in male hummingbirds evolved by sensory exploitation?arrow_forwardIn seahorses, males incubate and care for offspring. Thus, the males are more likely to be tied up in reproduction at any point in time relative to females. Which sex do you predict will be the choosey sex in this species and why? Males -- because fewer are available to mate Males – because male-male competition is incredibly strong Females – because sperm are cheap to produce Female – because the operational sex ratio is biased in their favor The sperm of chimpanzees have faster swimming speeds than those of gorillas. Based on what you know about sperm competition, what would you predict about differences between these two species in female re-mating frequency and sperm viability? In chimps, females mate only once and sperm are viable for only a day In chimps, females mate multiply and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate only one, and sperm live for a long time In chimps, females mate multiply, and sperm live for only a day Which of the following sexual traits is…arrow_forwardSCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Prostate cells usually require testosteroneand other androgens to survive. But some prostate cancercells thrive despite treatments that eliminate androgens.One hypothesis is that estrogen, often considered a femalehormone, may be activating genes normally controlled by an androgen in these cancer cells.
