Chapter 46, Problem 46.1CR

Would a pair of haploid offspring produced by parthenogenesis be genetically identical? Explain.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether the haploid offspring produced by parthenogenesis would be identical.

Concept introduction: Parthenogenesis is a unique kind of asexual reproduction. It involves the production of gametes, but the offspring are generated without the fertilization. This kind of asexual reproduction occurs in certain invertebrates such as bees, wasps, and ants.

Answer to Problem 46.1CR

Thus, haploid offspring produced by parthenogenesis would not be identical.

Explanation of Solution

Haploid gametes are produced by meiosis cell division. Meiosis involves the random assortment of chromosomes and genetic recombination that brings variation in the genetic makeup of the gametes. So, the offspring produced will not be identical.
