Due to a mistake during meiosis, a plant species produces gametes that are diploid instead of haploid. The gametes now have twic

e as many chromosomes as they should have. These gametes are not able to mate with normal gametes of that species anymore. However, they are able to mate with other gametes that were produced due to the same mistake. Over time the population of plants with double the number of chromosomes increased. As per the biological species concept, these plants are now considered a separate species. What type of speciation occurred here! a. Alopiatric sup ploidy b. Sympatric autopolyploidy c. Sympatric aneuploidy d. Allopatkalloploidy e. Sympaticaloploidy

Answer:

b. Sympatric autopolyploidy

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation will occurs when a new species when two groups from the same ancestral population evolve without any geographical separation.

Autopolyploidy will appear when an individual possess more that two sets of chromosomes both from the same parental species

Therefore, since a new species was formed as a result of autopolyploidy. The type of speciation that occurred was Sympatric speciation.

If an organism has a diploid number of 6 chromosomes, how many different combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes are p
Alexxandr [17]

The different number of maternal and paternal chromosomes possible will be 8. that is option A is correct.

Chromosomes are defined as the genetic material within the body. They are thread like structures within the DNA and are made of proteins. In general human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes out of which 22 are numbered while 1 is the sex chromosome. Gametes are genetic material that are generally haploid in nature and they carry only one chromosome along with them. According to the question, there are 6 diploid chromosomes present which means there are 3 pairs of chromosomes. So each gametes will have a total number of 3 chromosomal pairs irrespective of their type that is maternal or paternal. Therefore combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes are given by

Combination = 2ⁿ where n is pair of chromosomes and here n = 3

Combination = 2³ = 8
