Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a genetic condition in which a single gene conditions the expression of multiple phenotype. There are different types of pleiotropy depending on the underlining mechanism

  • <em>gene pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>developmental pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>selectional pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>antagonistic pleiotropy </em>

<em>Phenylketonuria is a disease characterized by increased level of amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. It caused by mutation to the gene responsible for breaking down phenylalanine in the blood. Elevated level of phenylalanine causes other issues such as mental problems, urine coloration and reduction in skin pigmentation. This is a clear case of pleiotropy.</em>

Arada [10]

Answer:

a. autotriploid of species A: 63 chromosomes

b. autotetraploid of species B: 96 chromosomes

c. allotriploid from species A and B: 1) 66 chromosomes and 2) 69 chromosomes

Explanation:

<u>For a.</u>

this species will have 3 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tri' means 3)

one haploid set = 21

21 × 3 = 63 chromosomes

<u>For b.</u>

this species will have 4 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tetra' means 4)

one haploid set = 24

24 × 4 = 96 chromosomes

<u>For c.</u>

there are two ways to do this:

1) two sets of chromosomes from species A and one from species B

42 + 24 = 66 chromosomes

2) one set of chromosomes from species A and two from species B

21 + 48 = 69 chromosomes

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
