Concept explainers

Genetic Recombination

Recombination is crucial to this process because it allows genes to be reassorted into diverse combinations. Genetic recombination is the process of combining genetic components from two different origins into a single unit. In prokaryotes, genetic recombination takes place by the unilateral transfer of deoxyribonucleic acid. It includes transduction, transformation, and conjugation. The genetic exchange occurring between homologous deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (DNA) from two different sources is termed general recombination. For this to happen, an identical sequence of the two recombining molecules is required. The process of genetic exchange which occurs in eukaryotes during sexual reproduction such as meiosis is an example of this type of genetic recombination.

Microbial Genetics

Genes are the functional units of heredity. They transfer characteristic information from parents to the offspring.

Drosophila P elements were discovered because ofa phenomenon called hybrid dysgenesis—sterilityof particular hybrid progeny. When scientists in the1970s crossed their D. melanogaster laboratorystrains to flies of the same species obtained fromnatural environments outside the lab, they observeda remarkable result: The progeny of the crosseswere sterile, but only when outside males werecrossed with lab strain females. Progeny resultingfrom crosses of outside females with lab maleswere perfectly normal.DNA analysis revealed that while the genomesof the outside flies contain P elements, the lab flygenomes have none. Apparently, P elements spreadthroughout the wild population of D. melanogasterafter the capture of the originators of present-daylaboratory strains over 100 years ago.a. The hybrid progeny are sterile because their germline cells have a high rate of mutation and chromosomal rearrangement (dysgenesis) caused by highrates of P element mobilization. Explain howP element movement…
The a, b, and c loci are all on different chromosomesin yeast. When a b+ yeast were crossed to a+ b yeastand the resultant tetrads analyzed, it was found thatthe number of nonparental ditype tetrads was equal tothe number of parental ditypes, but there were no tetratype asci at all. On the other hand, many tetratypeasci were seen in the tetrads formed after a c+ wascrossed with a+ c, and after b c+ was crossed withb+ c. Explain these results.
A Drosophila male is heterozygous for a reciprocaltranslocation between an autosome and the Y chromosome.
