Question
Chapter 24, Problem 3TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The form of reproductive isolation that prevents the process of fertilization is called a prezygotic isolation method. Whereas, the method that does not allow the production of fertile offspring is called postzygotic isolation mechanism.

Members of two separate species mate and produce hybrid offspring that fail to thrive in the environment. The hybrid genotypes do not suit the hybrid organism for survival using any given niche. Eventually, the hybrid genotypes disappear from the environment. This would be due to:
A. hybrid inviability
B. hybrid sterility
C. gametic incompatibility
D. pre-zygotic isolation
E. infra-gametic disruption

A.
anisogamy
B.
isogamy
C.
isostacy
D.

We learned from hermaphroditic snails in New Zealand and C. elegans that populations that are undergo both sexual and asexual reproduction in the same population can alter the frequency of outcrossing resulting in changes in genetic diversity. Identify the statement that accurately reflects a real result.
a.
Sexual reproduction prevents the ability of snails and worms to coevolve with their parasites.
b.
Sexual reproduction frequency increases in the presence of a stressor, like pathogens and parasites.
c.
Asexual reproduction is favored when there are pathogens and parasites in the environment.
d.
Asexual reproduction enables the Red Queen hypothesis to play out and enable the pathogen to win.

Imagine also, you only have two individuals from which you wish to build a successful population: one is homozygous dominant for the two genes and the other homozygous recessive for the two genes. Considering the table of recombination rates above, if you mate these two individuals, what percentage of the resulting offspring will have both beneficial alleles? 18) Theoretically speaking, we should not be able to observe a recombination rate greater than 50%. Why is this so? If we measure a recombination rate of 50% what does it mean? 19) Create a chromosome linkage map for the seven genes provided.

- experiments followed from mendals cross and developed from the conclusions he made as a result of the first monohybrid cross. State what ratio of offspring he would have predicted from these crosses. b Calculate the actual ratios obtained in each of these crosses. c Suggest what chance events may influence the actual ratios of offspring obtained in breeding experiments like these. (We will return to this issue at a later point. For example, the statistical test known as the chi-squared test can be applied to the results of genetic crosses to test whether the actual results are close enough to the predicted results to be significant.)arrow_forwardBlue snorks are dominant to pink snorks.
