DRAW IT In this chapter, you read that bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is an allohexaploid, containing two sets of chromosomes from each of three different parent species. Genetic analysis suggests that the three species pictured following this question each contributed chromosome sets to T. aestivum. (The capital letters here represent sets of chromosomes rather than individual genes.) Evidence also indicates that the first polyploidy event was a spontaneous hybridization of the early cultivated wheat species T. monococcum and a wild Triticum grass species. Based on this information, draw a diagram of one possible chain of events that could have produced the allohexaploid T. aestivum.

- Species 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_forward1)Ganarles contain one kind of each chromosome because the homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis. True or False? 2)In humans, there are two alleles possible at the chromosome locus that determine blood type. True or False? 3) Mendel was a famous naturalist who developed the concept that lead to the laws of evolution. True or False? 4) Embryonic stem cells come from embryos made for research.

- How many chromosomes of the A, B, and D genomes are present in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)? Explain the evolution of bread wheatarrow_forwardExplain the terms haploid, diploid, and polyploid. Why is polyploidy so much more common in plants than in animals? Give examples of polyploid animals. Polyploid plants may occur naturally or they may be created intentionally by agricultural scientists. List four examples of polyploid commercial crops and explain why they are superior to their diploid ancestors.arrow_forwardVariations in chromosome structure are important for which of the following reason(s)?Question 5 options: A) evolution of new species B) may result in the production of abnormal offspring C) may alter the phenotype of an organism D) all of the answers are correctarrow_forward
- Can you answer all the parts to this diagram Species 1 and 2 are sister species from which you’ve cloned related genes. On the gene tree on the top of the next page, use labels to answer the following questions: (a) Label the node that represents a gene duplication with “D,” (b) Label the nodes that represent speciation events with “S,” (c) Pick a pair of genes that are paralogs and label them both “P.” (d) Pick a pair of genes that are orthologs and label them both “O.”arrow_forwardIn Figure 20-18, what is the evidence that polyploid formation has been important in plant evolution?arrow_forwardTelomere (ends) Centromere (middle) 2A 2B Chimpanzee Chromosomes Human Chromosome 2 What does the diagram tell us about the evolutionary history of humans and chimpanzees? Select all true statements. O Humans and chimpanzees have a different number of chromosomes and are therefore unrelated. Human chromosome number 2 is a fusion of chimpanzee chromosome 2A and 2B. Human and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. In the evolution of humans, a chromosome was lost.arrow_forward
- You are traveling again as the science officer and discover a new species on planet Barkley. You are able to obtain some cells from the organism and know that it reproduces sexually. You make a chromosome spread and from what you know about human cells, identify the various regions indicated by the arrows, create a karyotype and predict the number of chromosomes. Label Label Label Label OXC AX Total number of chromosomes Haploid number Diploid number Based on humans, what can you predict about the sex DO karyotype IDO TUarrow_forwardExplainarrow_forwardImagine that Species A and Species B are closely related species. Species A has one hemoglobin gene, located on chromosome 5. Species B has two hemoglobin genes, one located on chromosome 5 and one located on chromosome 8. Based solely on this information, it is possible that the ancestor of Species A and Species B had one hemoglobin gene, and that a large-segment duplication followed by a translocation resulted in the second hemoglobin gene of Species B.
