Based on Standard NGSS MS-LS3-2: Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
In reference to the attached image, can you create a model that shows how it is possible that the twins ended up with such different traits yet have the same parents? Keeping in mind that the twins are a set of fraternal twins.

- ACTIVITY 5: Sex-linked inheritance In many animals, the sex of an individual is determined by which sex chromosomes (X or Y) are inherited. In mammals (and the fruit fly Drosophila), females have 2 X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y. The X and Y are an unusual pair of homologous chromosomes. The X is large and contains thousands of genes, while the Y is small and contains few genes. Most genes on the X are not found on the Y, so males possess only one copy of each X-linked gene and females have 2 copies. This means that X-linked recessive traits are expressed more often in males. Eye color is a sex-linked trait in Drosophila. The allele for red eyes is dominant to the allele for white eyes. Because this gene is on the X chromosome, the alleles are written as XR and Xr. A. Do a Punnett square for a cross between a homozygous red-eyed female (XR XR ) and a white-eyed male (Xr Y). What would be the genotypes of the female…arrow_forwardPls answer the very last question. “ suppose that lll-2 and lll-5 were to have a child. What is the probability that their first child will be have the disorder?”arrow_forward7) Why aren't Turners females who have one X chromosome phenotypically normal given that males only have one X and are normal and all female mammals inactivate one of their 2 X chromosomes leaving with one X just like Turners females and these females are also normal, but Turner's females are not normal (have abnormal ovaries). Why? 8.Sex Determination A .Compare sex determination in humans (what genetically and biochemically determines male vs female) and compare this to sex determination in Drosophila fruit flies what genetically and biochemically determines male vs female in fruit flies). B. What roles do the genes for a) sisterless, b) sex lethal (sxl) , tra (transformer gene) and dsx-f (double sex) play in Drosophila sex determinationarrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardPlease answer fast compare and contrast gametogenesis in human males and females. How does this ensure that human genotype is maintained in normal humans. What possible variation can occur and what possible abnormalities will result from such?arrow_forwardThink Critically. Provide a concise explanation of your answer. A mutation on an autosome causes a particular protein to be overproduced, and the excess protein accumulates in the liver and damages it. Would the resulting disorder most likely be inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive pattern? Expression of the SYR gene on the Y chromosome gives rise to the male phenotype in humans. What do you think the inheritance pattern of SYR alleles is called? 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, also called DiGeorge syndrome, causes atypical parathyroid glands, a heart defect, and an underdeveloped thymus gland. About 85% of patients have a microdeletion of part of chromosome 22. A girl, her mother, and a maternal aunt have very mild DiGeorge syndrome. They all have a reciprocal translocation of chromosomes 22 and 2. How can a microdeletion and a translocation cause the same symptoms? Why were the people with the translocation less severely affected than the people with microdeletion? What other…arrow_forward

Explain.arrow_forwardDiscuss Concepts One of the human chromosome pairs carries a gene that influences eye color. In an individual human, one chromosome of this pair has an allele of this gene that contributes to the formation of blue eyes. The other chromosome of the pair has an allele that contributes to brown eye color (other genes also influence eye color in humans). After meiosis in the cells of this individual, what fraction of the nuclei will carry the allele that contributes to blue eyes? To brown eyes?arrow_forward
- 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.
