In sexually reproducing species, each individual begins life with DNA inherited from both parent organisms. , Apply this idea to what occurs when organisms of two species that have homologous chromosomes mate and produce ( F1 ) hybrid offspring. What percentage of the DNA in the F1 hybrids' chromosomes comes from each parent species? As the hybrids mate and produce F2 and later-generation hybrid offspring, describe how recombination and natural selection may affect whether the DNA in hybrid chromosomes is derived from one parent species or the other

Chromosomal rearrangements are a source for reproductive barriers (low hybrid fitness) and are suppressors of recombination. The most commonly referred to rearrangements involved in human evolution are the formation of the Y chromosome and the variation of karyotypes between primates, especially the formation of human chromosome 2. Using the diagram below identify the types of chromosomal rearrangements and describe the impact on genotype.
A neutral mutation arises in a diploid population of 10,000 individuals. Use this information to answer the following questions. a) What is the probability that the neutral allele goes to fixation? b) Assuming that the neutral mutation eventually goes to fixation, what is the expected time to fixation (in generations)?
Genetics, Mating took place between males and females of a fruit fly, and individuals appeared With the following proportions and attributes: 25% Female flies with irregular wings and 25% female flies with irregular wings 25% male flies with irregular wings and 25% male flies with irregular wings . . If a symbol for the adjective of regular wings is symbolized by the symbol B and if a symbol for irregular wings with the symbol b, The genotypes of the parents are? 1. bB, Bb 2. bb,Bb 3. XB Y, Xb Xb 4. XbY, XBXb
Which of the following best describes a pair of homologous chromosomes? a- A pair of chromosomes that have the same alleles of the same genes arranged in the same order b- A pair of chromosomes that have the same genes, but arranged in a different order, and with potentially different alleles of some of the genes c- A pair of chromosomes that have different alleles of the same genes arranged in different order d- A pair of chromosomes that have the same genes in the same order, but possibly with different alleles of some of the genes
Modern bananas originated from a cross between a tetraploid banana species and a diploid banana species. The product of this cross was the triploid Cavendish banana strain, a sterile hybrid that is only grown asexually. Recently, the Panama fungus has been observed more frequently parasitizing the Cavendish banana, and scientists claim that this type of banana is on the brink of extinction. Which of the following provides the best explanation of the scientists’ claim regarding the threat to the Cavendish banana? * The triploid genome of the Cavendish banana makes it susceptible to the negative impact of recessive alleles. Having three of each chromosome interferes with normal function of the cells and increases the likelihood of contracting a disease. The lack of genetic diversity of the Cavendish banana decreases the chance that a variation exists in the population that is immune to the fungus. Asexual reproduction…
As pointed out in the section Evolution of the Y Chromosome, some researchers have predicted that the human Y chromosome will continue to lose genetic information in the future and will completely disappear from the species in about 10 million years. What would happen if the Y chromosome disappeared from the human species?
In a DNA-hybridization study, DNA was isolated from wheat, labeled with 32P, and sheared into small fragments . Hybridizations between these labeled fragments and denatured DNA from different plant species were then compared. The following table gives the percentages of labeled wheat DNA that hybridized to DNA molecules of wheat, corn, radish, and cabbage. What do these results indicate about the evolutionary differences among these plants? Species Percentage of wheat DNA hybridized relative to wheat Wheat 100 Cabbage 23 Corn 63 Radish 30
