FOCUS ON INFORMATION
In sexually reproducing species, each individual begins life with DNA inherited from both parent organisms. In a short essay (100-150 words), apply this idea to what occurs when organisms of two species that have homologous chromosomes mate and produce (F1) hybrid offspring. What percentage of the DNA in the F1 hybrids' chromosomes comes from each parent species? As the hybrids mate and produce F2 and later-generation hybrid offspring, describe how recombination and natural selection may affect whether the DNA in hybrid chromosomes is derived from one parent species or the other.

- VISUALIZE Use two different colors to depict the unduplicated chromosomes of species C with larger chromosomes (2n = 8) and species D with slightly smaller chromosomes (2n = 10), and of their F1 hybrid. Is the hybrid likely to be fertile?arrow_forwardSpecies or F1 hybrid Root tip chromosome number The following table presents chromosome data on four species of plants and their F1 hybrids: Meiosis I Metaphase Number of Number of bivalents univalents A 20 10 0 B 20 10 0 C 10 5 0 D 10 5 0 A x B 20 0 20 A x C 15 5 5 AxD 15 5 5 Cx D 10 0 10 Deduce the chromosomal origin of Species A. Show clearly the basis of your answer by analyzing and diagramming the crosses given above. Distinguish between chromosomes and give chromosome number for individuals in the crosses mentioned above. From these crosses, diagram the cross that gave rise to Species A. b. How many bivalents and univalents would you expect to observe at meiotic metaphase I in a hybrid between species C and species B? c. How many bivalents and univalents would you expect to observe at meiotic metaphase I in a hybrid between species D and species B?arrow_forwardplease help?arrow_forward
- can you please quickly explain?arrow_forwardGenes A and B are 7.5 map units apart on one chromosome. Genes C and D are 8.0 map units apart on a second non-homologous chromosome. • The recombination frequency between A and B is? • The recombination frequency between A and C is? • The recombination frequency between C and D is? • The recombination frequency between B and D is?arrow_forwardI need help with b, c, d the choices for c) are haploid, diploid or tetraploid the choices for d) are same chromosome, a pair of homologus chromosomes, or two different chromosomesarrow_forward
- . Genomes A, B, and C all have basic chromosomenumbers (x) of nine. These genomes were derivedoriginally from plant species that had diverged from each other sufficiently far back in the evolutionarypast that the chromosomes from one genome can nolonger pair with the chromosomes from any other genome. For plants with the following kinds of euploidchromosome complements, (i) state the number ofchromosomes in the organism; (ii) provide terms thatdescribe the individual’s genetic makeup as accurately as possible; (iii) state whether or not it is likelythat this plant will be fertile, and if so, give the number of chromosomes (n) in the gametes.a. AABBCb. BBBBc. CCCd. BBCCe. ABCf. AABBCCarrow_forwardBackground Info Rainbow trout go through a unique genetic reproductive process. Female eggs are diploid, while male sperm are haploid. In the wild, when the sperm fertilizes an egg, the extra set of chromosomes is kicked out, resulting in a diploid offspring.Triploid trout are produced in the lab to provide sterile fish stock for lakes. Shortly after the eggs are fertilized, scientists place them in a warm water bath to prevent the extra chromosomes from being removed. The result is a triploid fish that cannot reproduce.Rainbow Trout: n = 30 Global warming is an issue affecting many species around the world. Warming has caused the temperatures in lakes and rivers to increase and stay elevated for longer periods of time. Question Select the FOUR numbers that describe the possible effects of global warming on the reproduction of rainbow trout in the wild and on biodiversity. The extra set of chromosomes remains. The extra set of chromosomes is removed. The offspring are diploid (2n).…arrow_forwardare these correct?arrow_forward
