If a plant with diploid # of 24 and a plant with a diploid # of 10 cross-fertilize. How many chromosomes will be present in the resulting F1 hybrid offspring? If that plant undergoes a spontaneous chromosome doubling to allow fertility, how many chromosomes will be present in diploid cells of the F2 offspring?
Plant with diploid # of 24 will produce gamete that has 12 chromosomes. Plant with a diploid # of 10 will produce gamete that has 5 chromosomes.
So, the number of chromosomes in the F1 hybrid offspring will be 17.
Given that plant undergoes a spontaneous chromosome doubling to allow fertility. So diploid number of chromosomes in the hybrid will be 34. Hybrid will produce gametes that have 17 chromosomes in the gametes. When two gametes fused it will give a progeny that is 34 chromosomes.
So, the diploid number of chromosomes in the offspring will be 34.

A sterile offspring forms when two plant species, one with (4n=48) and one with (2n=12) chromosomes, cross fertilize. This unique offspring grows asexually until a chromosome doubling occurs in part of the plant, creating flowers that contain sperm and eggs with ____ chromosomes.
In the past, a diploid banana plant (n=11) produced an "unreduced" gamete. This unusual, diploid gamete as fertilized by a normal gamete. Imagine that you were to examine cells from the resulting (live!) offspring. For full credit, EXPLAIN your reasoning. A. How many chromosomes would you expect to see in a somatic (i.e., non-reproductive) cell? B. How many chromosomes would you expect to see in a prophase I cell? C. How many chromosomes would you expect to see in a...
3. A diploid cell with eight chromosomes undergoes meiosis. (7 pt) a. How many chromosomes are there in each cell after meiosis I? How many daughter cells are made after meiosis I? Are the daughter cells diploid or haploid? (1.5 pt) How many chromosomes are there in each cell after meiosis ll? How many daughter cells are made after meiosis II? Are the daughter cells diploid or haploid? (1.5 pt) What two mechanisms allow genetic variation among the gametes produced...
12. A diploid organism has a total of 24 chromosomes. Assuming all possible chromosome combinations are viable: If a mutant tetraploid version of this organism was created how many chromosomes would it have? If a mutant version of this diploid organism was monosomic for chromosome 9 how many chromosomes would it have? A. 96; 25 B. 96,23 C. 48,23 D. 48; 25 In a diploid organism 2n = 6, and there are two long, two intermediate, and two short chromosomes....
If a cell with a diploid number of 14 undergoes meiosis, how many chromosomes will be in the resulting gamete cells?
4, A triploid plant has 18 chromosomes (n = 6). If we assume there is an equal probability of a gamete receiving one or two copies of each of the six types of chromosome, what are the odds of this plant producing a monoploid or a diploid gamete? What are the odds of producing an aneuploid gamete? If the plant is allowed to self-fertilize, what are the odds of producing a euploid offspring?

Question 2 (11 points) In the plant genus Triticum there are many different polyploid species, as well as diploid species. Crosses were made between three different species, and hybrids were obtained. The meiotic pairing was observed in each hybrid, and this is recorded in the following table. (Hint#1: A bivalent is two homologous chromosomes paired at meiosis, and a univalent is an unpaired homolog at meiosis. HINT #2 : For this question, review your knowledge of chromosome inheritance and pairing...
A cross was made between two strains of plants that are agriculturally important. One strain was disease-resistant but herbicide-sensitive; the other strain was disease-sensitive but herbicide- resistant. A plant breeder crossed the two plants and then allowed the F1 generation to self-fertilize. The following data were obtained: F1 generation: All offspring were disease sensitive and herbicide resistant. F2 generation: 170 disease sensitive, herbicide resistant 60 disease sensitive, herbicide sensitive 44 disease resistant, herbicide resistant 10 disease resistant, herbicide sensitive Formulate...
Here are data from crossing a phenotypically wild-type female Drosophila (tly) F1 The Y and A genes are dosely linked on the same chromosome. In this cross, which of the following is true about the gametes produced by the F1 progeny 2 pt YYAA X Yaa YyAa A. YA & Ya gametes will outnumber YA & ya gametes. B. YA & ya gametes will outnumber yA & Ya gametes. C.YA. Ya, YA, & xa gametes will be present in equal...
