A person has a WT chromosome with the following segments. A B C • D E F G H. Which of the following shows how the chromosome would look after an tandem duplication?

Dr. Ara B. Dopsis has an idea he thinks will be a boon to agriculture. He wants to create the 'pomato,' a hybrid between a tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) that has 12 chromosomes and a potato (Solanum tuberosum) that has 48 chromosomes. Dr. Dopsis is hoping his new pomato will have tuber growth like a potato and the fruit production of a tomato. He joins a haploid gamete from each species to form a hybrid and then induces doubling of chromosome number. Will this hybrid be infertile?

Describe at least two mechanisms by which duplicate genes arise. What are the possible fates of duplicate genes? Does the mode of duplication affect possible fates?

A person has a WT chromosome with the following segments. A B C • D E F G H. Which of the following shows how the chromosome would look after an insertional duplication?

From the following list, identify the types of chromosome changes you expect to show phenotypic consequences. duplication
