WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INFORMATION In sexually reproducing species, each individual inherits DNA 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 (F2) 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.

- Explain step by step.arrow_forwardVISUALIZE 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_forward* b. Briefly explain how the use of this molecule (CA1P) disrupts both stages of photosynthesis while the Rubisco enzyme is associated with only one stage. Codule 3: The principles of heredity 1. Let's take the example of the gray kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus) whose ploidy is 8 and the sexual determinism of this species is carried out according to the XY mode. From a male kangaroo: a) Draw the karyotype of this individual, obtained by stopping division at metaphase. Your drawing should include: a. All maternal and paternal chromosomes involved (different colors) b. An example of autosome and heterochromosome c. An example of homologous chromosome, sister chromatid and centromere. d. The total number of chromosomes in a metaphase kangaroo cell. e. A sentence to explain the difference between the terms gene and allele that might apply to this species.

- Consider a species of wasp in which females are diploid and come from fertilized eggs, while males are haploid and come from unfertilized eggs. Assuming that a queen mates with only one male, determine the coefficient of relationship (r) for each of the following. a)A female (worker) to her sister: b)A female (worker) to her brother: c)A female (worker) to her fatherarrow_forwardExplain in 7-8 sentencesarrow_forwardGlobal 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. 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). The offspring are triploid (3n). The offspring cannot reproduce. The offspring can reproduce. Biodiversity decreases. Biodiversity increases. Please record the FOUR numbers in ascending order.arrow_forward
- consider 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_forwardHelparrow_forwardInclude stages of reproduction in roaches - starting with the egg and sperm to zygote then to young offspring to adult( be sure to include the accurate number of chromosome)arrow_forward
- Experiment: Saccharomyces cerevisiae can exist stably in either a haploid or a diploid state. A haploid S. cerevisiae cell has 16 chromosomes. When certain haploids come into contact, they fuse their cell walls and membranes, followed by the fusion of their nuclear membranes. The single nucleus now has 32 chromosomes, 16 from each parent strain, and is thus a diploid. Haploid yeast strains divide mitotically to give rise to haploid progeny, and diploid strains divide mitotically to give rise to diploid progeny. Certain haploids can fuse to form diploids. Haploid S. cerevisiae exists in two "mating types," called a and a. Mating occurs only between a and a cells; no mating occurs between cells of identical mating type. We have a collection of eight a haploid mutant strains and eight a haploid mutant strains of yeast unable to synthesize tryptophan (trp). These will be combined (mated) in all possible combinations to yield diploid strains. If the diploids can grow on minimal medium,…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_forwardIdentify which of the following statements is a lie?Select one: a. Budding yeasts first start from being a haploid cell and further becomes a diploid cell. b. Budding yeasts secrete a signaling molecule called a “mating factor”. c. The mating factor in the sexual reproduction of yeast is directed to all yeast cells in the vicinity.arrow_forward
