FOCUS ON INFORMATION

In sexually reproducing species, each individual begins life with DNA inherited from both parent organisms. In a short essay (100-150 words), 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.

. What is the total number of chromosomes this organism has? • What is the haploid number (n) of this organism? ID each unique shape with a number.... • Is this organism haploid, diploid, triploid, or tetraploid? Put the letter "a" by those chromosomes from one parent and the letter "b" by those from another. 11 • Draw in duplicated chromosomes now....imagine we're in prophase of mitosis... • What is the difference between • 5A vs. 5B? ● 5A vs. 5A copy?
Homologous Chromosomes We have discussed homologous chromosomes before. This idea is essential to the understanding of genetics, so we will review it again. Information • Very simple organisms have only one set of chromosomes and they are haploid. ► More complex organisms have two sets of chromosomes and are diploid. • Haploid organisms have one of each kind of chromosome and one of every kind of gene. Diploid organisms have two of each kind of chromosome and two of kind of gene. every The two chromosomes of each kind in a diploid organism are called homologous chromosomes because they are carrying the same kind of traits (genes). Homo means "same." ► A human has 23 different kinds of chromosomes that are given numbers from 1 to 23. Because we are diploid organisms we have two of each of the different kinds. So, we have 46 chromosomes in all, made up of 23 homologous pairs. ? QUESTION 1. How many sets of DNA molecules or chromosomes does a diploid organism have? 2. How many sets of DNA…
Genes A and B are 7.5 map units apart on one chromosome. Genes C and D are 8.0 map units apart on a second non-homologous chromosome. • The recombination frequency between A and B is? • The recombination frequency between A and C is? • The recombination frequency between C and D is? • The recombination frequency between B and D is?
