#1. Sexual reproduction requires that half of the chromosomes in a zygote come from one parent and the other half from a second parent.
a. Describe the process by which a germ cell's complement of chromosomes is halved in the formation of
gametes.
b. Choose one organism or group of organisms that reproduce asexually. Describe the mode of asexual reproduction in that organism and explain the advantages to the organism of asexual reproduction.
c. Choose one organism or group of organisms that reproduce sexually.
Describe the mode of asexual reproduction in that organism and explain
the advantages to the organism of asexual reproduction.
#2 The unit of genetic organization in all living organisms is the chromosome.
a. Describe the structure and function of the parts of a eukaryotic chromosome. You may wish to include a diagram as part of your description.
b. Describe the evolutionary (adaptive) significance of organizing genes into chromosomes.
c. How does the structure and function of the chromosome differ in prokaryotes?
#3. Karen and Steve each have a sibling with Sickle-cell disease. neither Karen or Steve nor any of their parents have the disease, and after testing none of them show to have sickle cell traits on the Red Blood Cells.Based on this incomplete information, calculate the probability that if this couple has a child, the child will have sickle cell disease.
#4. In 1981, a stray black cat with unusual rounded, curled-back ears was adopted by a family in California. Hundrerds of descendants of the cat have since been born, and cat fanciers hope to develop the curl cat into a show breed. Suppose you owned the first curl cat and wanted to develop a true-breeding variety. How would you determine whether the curl allele was dominant or recessive? How would you obtain true-breeding curl cats? How could you be sure they are true-breeding?
