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_forwardplease help?arrow_forward. What is the total number of chromosomes this organism has? • What is the haploid number (n) of this organism? ID each unique shape with a number.... • Is this organism haploid, diploid, triploid, or tetraploid? Put the letter "a" by those chromosomes from one parent and the letter "b" by those from another. 11 • Draw in duplicated chromosomes now....imagine we're in prophase of mitosis... • What is the difference between • 5A vs. 5B? ● 5A vs. 5A copy?arrow_forward
- can you please quickly explain?arrow_forwardCan you help?arrow_forwardTwo unrelated species of plants were hybridized. Species A is described as 2n = 16. Species B is described as 2n = 10. %3D How many chromosomes are in the hybrid? Fill in the number of univalents and bivalents you would expect to see in meiosis in this hybrid.If none of a type are seen, fill in 0. Univalents Bivalents The number of chromosomnes can be doubled in the lab using the chemical Assume that the number of chromosomes in the hybrid was doubled using the chemical above. The resulting plant is most likely Fill in the number of univalents and bivalents you would expect to see in meiosis of this final hybrid. none are seen, fill in 0, Univalents Bivalentsarrow_forward
- Homologous Chromosomes We have discussed homologous chromosomes before. This idea is essential to the understanding of genetics, so we will review it again. Information • Very simple organisms have only one set of chromosomes and they are haploid. ► More complex organisms have two sets of chromosomes and are diploid. • Haploid organisms have one of each kind of chromosome and one of every kind of gene. Diploid organisms have two of each kind of chromosome and two of kind of gene. every The two chromosomes of each kind in a diploid organism are called homologous chromosomes because they are carrying the same kind of traits (genes). Homo means "same." ► A human has 23 different kinds of chromosomes that are given numbers from 1 to 23. Because we are diploid organisms we have two of each of the different kinds. So, we have 46 chromosomes in all, made up of 23 homologous pairs. ? QUESTION 1. How many sets of DNA molecules or chromosomes does a diploid organism have? 2. How many sets of DNA…arrow_forwardHelparrow_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_forward
- I 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_forwardconsider the metaphase (mitosis) chromosome spread of the following related animal species. The first meiotic division in the hybrid animal shows a mixture of paired and single chromosomes. Why do you suppose this occurs? Can you suggest a possible relationship between the mixed chromosomes and the observed sterility of the hybrid?arrow_forwardWhat is the advantage of genetic recombination, which is depicted in part (b)?arrow_forward
