SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • DRAW IT In this chapter, you read thut 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, and the diploid chromosome number for each species is shown in parentheses.)
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.

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_forwardExperiment: 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_forward

Imagine that you have done a cross between twostrains of yeast, one of which has the genotype A B Cand the other a b c, where the letters refer to threerather closely linked genes in the order given. Youexamine many tetrads resulting from this cross, andyou find two that do not contain the expected two Band two b spores. In tetrad I, the spores are A B C, AB C, a B c, and a b c. In tetrad II, the spores are A BC, A b c, a b C, and a b c.
