Chapter 25.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of chromosomes in the hybrid of the cross between the Galeopsis.tetrahit and Galeopsis.pubescens with Galeopsis.tetrahit.

Introduction: The chromosomes present in the offspring are the mixture of the chromosomes of the parent organisms that are divided into half to form gametes, which then combine to form the zygote. Hence, zygote contains each half of the parental chromosomes.

The Forbes sea star and common sea star are broadcast spawners that are known to hybridize, yet they exist as separate, genetically distinct species (unique branches on the tree of life). One mechanism that may contribute to their uniqueness is prezygotic reproductive isolation, which is the incompatibility of gametes (sperm and eggs) from separate species. We know they hybridize, so the eggs and sperm are compatible, but could gametes from the different species be less compatible than the gametes from each individual species? Harper & Hart (2005) addressed this question in a series of cross-fertilization experiments. Did they find evidence that gametes ‘preferred’ to cross with gametes of the same species? Explain your answer.
In sexually reproducing species, each individual begins life with DNA inherited from both parent organisms. , 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.
(d) Scientists believe that the yellow fern arose from hybridization with another fern on the island. Create a diagram of this hybridization that tracks the origin of the chromosome number in the yellow fern.
