BackTwo experimental varieties of strawberry are produced by crossing a hexaploid line that contains 48 chromosomes and a tetraploid line that contains 32 chromosomes. Experimental variety 1 contains 40 chromosomes, and experimental variety 2 contains 56 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes from the hexaploid line are contributed to experimental variety 1? To experimental variety 2?
Which of the following chromosomal mutations increases the amount of genetic material from all chromosomes?
True or False:Autopolyploids contain multiple chromosomal sets from two closely related species
A species has 2n = 20. How many chromosomes will be found per mutant cell in an autotriploid organism.
Consider synapsis in prophase I of meiosis for two plant species that each carries 36 chromosomes. Species A is diploid and species B is triploid. What characteristics of homologous chromosome synapsis can be used to distinguish these two species?
