To determine: The inheritance pattern between the families.
Introduction: The types ofgenes of offspring can be determined through sex determination technology. The haploid chromosomes are the chromosomes that can carry only a single allele for the gene expression.

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.
Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, complete a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the
first mitosis might have produced this unusual-looking butterfly.

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.arrow_forwardCan you please help answer this question?arrow_forwardVolvox carteri, an volvocine alga, has approximately 2000 somatic cells and only 16 reproductive or germ line cells. The observation that multicellular individuals, like Volvox, have a much smaller subset of germ line cells compared to somatic cells appears to be general rule. Which of the following is the best evolutionary explanation for why this is the case? A) Organisms can biologically only contain a small number of germ line cells as they are always larger than somatic cells. B) Multicellular individuals with a germ line vs. somatic cell line differentiation only evolved a single time, thus all members of this lineage share the same scheme of more soma cells with a much smaller subset of germ line cells. C) Having a smaller subset of reproductive cells helps reduce the likelihood of cheating from evolving, which in turns prevents the collapse of the multicellular individual system. D) None of the above.arrow_forward

- Why must the life cycle of sexually reproducing species alternate between haploid and diploid stages? A) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of chromosomes in each generation. B) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a doubling of chromosomes in each generation. C) Mitosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of chromosomes in each generation. D) Meiosis must occur at some point in the life cycle to prevent a reduction of chromosomes in each generation.arrow_forwardIn eukaryotic reproduction two haploid gametes fuse together to produce a diploid zygote which will grow into a new living organism with characteristics from both parents. true or false?arrow_forwardIn some mites, males pass genes to their grandsons, but they never pass genes to their sons.

- Plutonian 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_forwardExplain in detail Why are you would not expect to find a monozygotic twin when studying the offspring of scorpions, knowing that scorpions are protosomes belonging to the phylum Arthropoda.arrow_forwardIf red vizcacha rats (Tympanoctomys barrerae) have 100 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes in each of their diploid somatic cells, then they must have: only 102 chromosomes in their haploid germ cells only 100 chromosomes in their haploid germ cells only 52 chromosomes in their haploid germ cells only 51 chromosomes in their haploid germ cells only 50 chromosomes in their haploid germ cellsarrow_forward
