Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 31P
When Calvin Bridges observed a large number of offspring from a cross of white-eyed female Drosophila to red-eyed males he found very rare white-eyed females and red-eyed males among the offspring. He was able to show that exceptions resulted from non-disjunction, such that the white-eyed females had received two Xs from the egg and a Y from the sperm, while the red-eyed males had received no sex chromosome from the egg and an X from the sperm. What progeny would have arisen from these same kinds of nondisjunctional events if they had occurred in the male parent? What would their eye colors have been?

Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.arrow_forward
