Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 15P
Dr. Ara B. Dopsis has an idea he thinks will be a boon to agriculture. He wants to create the “pomato,” a hybrid between a tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum) that has
How many chromosomes will the hybrid have before chromosome doubling?
Will this hybrid be infertile?
How many chromosomes will the polyploid have after chromosome doubling?
Can Dr.Dopsis be sure the polyploid will have the characteristics he wants? Why or why not?

For a haploid fungus, the starting point in the biosynthesis of the amino acid
arginine is Compound X, which is always present in and absorbed from the
environment. The arginine biosynthetic pathway is:
Enzyme A
Enzyme B
Enzyme Ç
Compound X
It is know that genes encoding enzymes A and C are on two different
chromosomes.
Compound Y
Compound Z-
Arginine
A mutant strain of genotype a (lacking only enzyme A) is crossed to a mutant strain
of genotype c (lacking only enzyme C) to generate a diploid strain. Sporulation (i.e.
meiosis) is subsequently induced in the resulting diploid strain. What proportion of
the spores (haploids formed by sporulation) is expected to grow on medium without
arginine but supplemented with Compound Y?
O 100%
50%
0%
25%
Imagine that you have done a cross between two strains of yeast, one of which has the genotype A B C and the other a b c, where the letters refer to three closely linked genes in the order
given. You examine many tetrads resulting from this cross, and the two tetrads below are found that have atypical scoring patterns.
In tetrad I, the spores are A B C, ABC, a B c, and a b c.
In tetrad II, the spores are A B C, A b c, a b C, and a b c.
Which tetrad or tetrads indicate(s) that gene conversion has occurred AND show(s) that recombination has occurred between genes A and C?
O neither tetrads I and II
O tetrad II
O tetrad I
O both tetrads I and II
What creates polyploid plants in the wild?
A) Complete meiotic nondisjunction
B) Complete mitotic nondisjunction in a stem of the plant
C) Crossovers involving a chromosome with a large inversion
D) colchicine

You wish to decide whether this phenomenon is due (1) to a chloroplast mutation of the type considered in this chapter or (2) to a dominant nuclear mutation that inhibits chlorophyll production and is present only in certain tissue layers of the plant as a mosaic.

A MATa lys5 ADE1 URA2 haploid was mated to a MATA LYS5 ade1 ura2 haploid to make a triply heterozygous diploid. This diploid was put through meiosis, 100 tetrads were dissected and the spore colonies transferred to medium lacking either lysine, adenine or uracil to determine which spores were prototrophic or auxotrophic for those nutrients.
