Why is parthenogenesis in bees considered to be a form of asexual reproduction?
Select one:
a. The male drone is made from a haploid egg. Fertilization is not part of the process to make a male drone.
b. The formation of the original haploid cell was achieved using binary fission.
c. Although genetic material is transferred from one cell to another using conjugation, the resulting cells will be identical to each other.
d. The haploid male bees were made through the process of meiosis, so they are identical to the parent egg cell.
In C. elegans there are two sexes: hermaphrodite and male. Sex is determined by the ratio of X chromosomes to haploid sets of autosomes (X/A). An X/A ratio of 1.0 produces a hermaphrodite (XX), and an X/A ratio of 0.5 results in a male (XO). In the 1970s, Jonathan Hodgkin and Sydney Brenner carried out genetic screens to identify mutations in three genes that result in either XX males (tra-1, tra-2) or XO hermaphrodites (her-1). Double-mutant strains were constructed to assess for epistatic interactions between the genes (see table). Propose a genetic model of how the her and tra genes control sex determination.
One reason that worker bees forgo their own reproduction to help their sister (the queen) reproduce is that female bees are more closely related to their sisters than they are to their own offspring. This quirk of genetics results from the fact that bees have haplodiploid sex determination, in which females are diploid, with a mother and a father, but males are haploid, developing from unfertilized eggs. Because males are haploid, they produce sperm by mitosis. Explainwhy haplodiploid sex determination causes females to be more closely related to their sisters than to their offspring.

- In some mites, males pass genes to their grandsons, but they never pass genes to their sons. Explain.arrow_forwardIdentify which of the following statements is a lie?Select one: a. Budding yeasts first start from being a haploid cell and further becomes a diploid cell. b. Budding yeasts secrete a signaling molecule called a “mating factor”. c. The mating factor in the sexual reproduction of yeast is directed to all yeast cells in the vicinity.arrow_forwardPlutonian Tickle-bellies have a sex determination system just like mammals. Hairy Snout is a holandric trait (carried on the Y chromosome). MyxRotcccc, a handsome male Tickle-belly, has lovely orange hair on his snout. He and his mate, OrgggWny, have six offspring, three boys and three girls. Please answer the following questions about this family. How many of MyxRotcccc’s and OrgggWny’s offspring have hairy snouts? Can you predict which ones? Their eldest son, Bob, marries and has a son. What is the chance that Bob’s son will also have a hairy snout? JoKchew, MyxRotcccc’s and OrgggWny’s youngest daughter, marries a male who has a smooth, hairless purple snout. She has eight offspring, each one lovelier than the last, and all boys. What percentage of these offspring do you expect to have hairy snouts? Explain.arrow_forward
- You find two closely related species of fly, one (P) of which appears to reproduce parthenogenetically (a form of asexual reproduction) while the other (S) reproduces sexually. In the same location, I find a third kind of insect, a sterile defensive form with enlarged mandibles. Because it is sterile, I conclude this form must be produced by either P or S. Which do you think is most likely the producer of the sterile defensive individuals? Answer:arrow_forwardThe arctic fox has 50 chromosomes (25 per set), and the commonred fox has 38 chromosomes (19 per set). These species can interbreed to produce viable but infertile offspring. How many chromosomes would the offspring have? What problems do you think mayoccur during meiosis that would explain the offspring’s infertility?arrow_forwardThe most notable differences between gamete formation in most animals and gamete formation in plants is that ______________. a) plants produce gametes in somatic tissue, whereas animals produce gametes in germ tissue b) plants produce gametes by mitosis, whereas animals produce gametes by meiosis c) plants produce only one of each gamete, but animals produce many gametes d) plants produce gametes that are diploid, but animals produce gametes that are haploidarrow_forward

The life expectancy of a person affected by the disorder is approximately 45 years. Carriers of the disease produce some sickled cells, but not enough to be symptomatic.Malaria is a potentially fatal disease caused by the protist Plasmodium falciparum.Studies have shown that those affected by sickle-cell disease (genotype ss), as well as carriers who possess only one sickle-cell allele (Ss), are much more resistant to malaria than those with homozygous dominant genotypes (SS). This resistance is created in part by the rupturing of any sickled red blood cells that are infected with the parasite, preventing Plasmodium falciparum from reproducing and making it more susceptible to the host's immune system.Which of the following statements best predicts what would happen in response to a prolonged epidemic of malaria in a population with no previous…arrow_forward
