Imagine that Species A and Species B are closely related species. Species A has one hemoglobin gene, located on chromosome 5. Species B has two hemoglobin genes, one located on chromosome 5 and one located on chromosome 8. Based solely on this information, it is possible that the ancestor of Species A and Species B had one hemoglobin gene, and that a large-segment duplication followed by a translocation resulted in the second hemoglobin gene of Species B. True False

Two diploid species of closely related frogs, which we will callspecies A and species B, were analyzed with regard to the genesthat encode an enzyme called hexokinase. Species A has two distinctcopies of this gene: A1 and A2. In other words, this diploidspecies is A1A1 A2A2. Species B has three copies of the hexokinasegene, which we will call B1, B2, and B3. A diploid individualof species B would be B1B1 B2B2 B3B3. These hexokinase genesfrom the two species were subjected to DNA sequencing, and thepercentage of sequence identity was compared among these genes.The results are shown here.

Chromosomal rearrangements are a source for reproductive barriers (low hybrid fitness) and are suppressors of recombination. The most commonly referred to rearrangements involved in human evolution are the formation of the Y chromosome and the variation of karyotypes between primates, especially the formation of human chromosome 2. Using the diagram below identify the types of chromosomal rearrangements and describe the impact on genotype.
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.
Most organisms with XX-XY sex determination have pseudoautosomal regions, portions of the X and Y chromosomes that are homologous. Would you predict that organisms with ZZ-ZW sex determination have pseudoautosomal regions of homology between Z and W chromosomes? Explain your answer.
Figure 14-17 shows syntenic regions of mouse chromosome 11 and human chromosome 17. What do these syntenic regions reveal about the genome of the last common ancestor of mice and humans?
Many modern people have some Neanderthal DNAin their genome, but the Neanderthal alleles are notuniformly distributed across their genome. A person ofEuropean or Asian ancestry typically has 1.5 to 2 percent Neanderthal DNA in their autosomes. However, researchers have never found any Neanderthal alleles on the Y chromosome of a modern human. By one hypothesis, Neanderthal Y alleles disappeared because theywere incompatible with H. sapiens genes. Explain howreduced fitness in hybrids arising from genetic incompatibility could have, over time, led to the elimination of theNeanderthal Y alleles from the H. sapiens gene pool.
Explain the likely evolutionary origin of mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes. How have the sizes of the mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes changed since their origin? How has thisoccurred?
During the resolution of polyploidy, the subgenomes must function as a single unit. This often results in at least partial dominance of one subgenome over the other. Sequencing of polyploid genomes has demonstrated that TE density is often negatively associated with dominance. If you were presented with data suggesting that a subgenome with higher TE density associated with gene space was dominant, how could you explain the results? Describe al follow up experiment.
