Clownfish are protandrous hermaphrodites. Determine whether the following features are encoded by the clownfish genome or are
influenced by the proteome in response to the environment.
The juvenile clownfish has
both male and female
immature reproductive
organs.
Clownfish are able to
produce both testosterone
and 17-estradiol.
Genome encoded
Increased estradiol levels
lead to increased levels of
proteins that promote the
growth of female sex
organs.
Increased testosterone
levels lead to increased -
levels of proteins that
cause male sex organs to
develop
Proteome influenced
Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from one another and from their parents. Describe four mechanisms that produce this genetic variation. Do any of these mechanisms occur in asexualreproduction?
what is the chromosomal system for determining sex in mammals?
