WHAT IF? A chicken has 78 chromosomes in its somaticcells. How many chromosomes did the chicken inheritfrom each parent? How many chromosomes are in eachof the chicken’s gametes? How many chromosomes willbe in each somatic cell of the chicken’s offspring?
WHAT IF? Males afflicted with Kartagener’s syndromeare sterile because of immotile sperm, and they tend tosuffer from lung infections. This disorder has a geneticbasis. Suggest what the underlying defect might be.
3. Each cell in the human body contains exactly the same genome, and yet a human beingat maturity is a complex organism with trillions of cells that belong to different typesand perform different functions. Explain.
4. In humans, what are the random and non-random events in sexual reproduction (postmeiosis) that ultimately determine the genetic makeup of the offspring? How will this information guide you in the future, in the case you already engage in the reproductiveprocess to produce offspring?
5. Hypothetical situation/ analogy: You woke up one day having the sexual life cycle of a plant. Describe and briefly explain how this would affect your ability to find a mate and reproduce, as compared to having the sexual life cycle of a human.

- Apply Evolutionary Thinking When a biologist first tested a new pesticide on a population of insects, she found that only 1% of the insects survived their exposure to the poison. She allowed the survivors to reproduce and discovered that 10% of the offspring survived exposure to the same concentration of pesticide. One generation later, 50% of the insects survived this experimental treatment. What is a likely explanation for the increasing survival rate of these insects over time?arrow_forwardMAKE CONNECTIONS Look at Figure 12.7 and imagine the twodaughter cells undergoing another round of mitosis, yielding four cells.Compare the number of chromosomes in each of those four cells, aftermitosis, with the number in each cell in Figure 13.8, after meiosis. Whatis it about the process of meiosis that accounts for this difference, eventhough meiosis also includes two cell divisions?arrow_forward. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY You discover a new egg-laying wormspecies. You dissect four adults and find both oocytesand sperm in each. Cells outside the gonad contain fivechromosome pairs. Lacking genetic variants, explain howyou would determine whether the worms can self-fertilize.arrow_forward

- 2) Meiosis and sexual reproduction are, in large part, responsible for genetic variation within a population. Meiosis supports genetic variation in several ways. All BUT ONE applies to meiosis, sexual reproduction and genetic variation. A) Meiosis is preceded by DNA replication of chromosomes in the nucleus of the mother cell. B) As seen in the diagram, during meiosis crossing over, or swapping of DNA segments, may occur. C) During fertilization each parent randomly contributes a unique set of chromosomes to the zygote. D) Because of recombination and independent assortment during meiosis, each of the four gametes contains a different set of DNA. Not Gradedarrow_forwardMeiosis _________. a. occurs in all eukaryotes b. supports growth and tissue repair in multicelled species c. gives rise to genetic diversity among offspring d. is part of the life cycle of all cellsarrow_forwardObservation 1: 1 out of 2 first trimester abortuses show abnormal karyotypes with 96% caused by numerical abnormalities and 4% with structural abnormalities. At live birth, 1 out of 160 has abnormal karyotypes with 60% caused by numerical changes. This number increases with fetuses of mothers over 35 years old to 1/50 for total incidence and 85% for numerical changes. Questions: Think of reasons why it is important to maintain the number and structure of chromosomes. Why is maternal age so important?arrow_forward
