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.
