Myrmecia pilosula was originally described as a single species, however, after closer examination, it was determined to consists

of several distinct, closely related, physically similar species. Females have chromosome numbers of 2, 18, 20, 32, 48, 60, 62, and 64. Assume that a cross is made between a female of species (A) with 48 chromosomes and a male species (B) with 10 chromosomes (males are haploid and transmit all their chromosomes to each sperm cell). How many chromosomes would be expected in the somatic cells of the hybrid female offspring?

Answer:

The correct answer is "34".

Explanation:

The ant Myrmecia pilosula is a special case of sexual reproduction, where the females produce gamete cells with half the chromosomes of the somatic cells and the males are haploids that transmit the whole number of chromosomes in their gametes. Therefore, the somatic cells of the hybrid female offspring that results from the cross of a female ant with 48 chromosomes and a male with 10 chromosomes would have 34 chromosomes. This result from half the number of chromosomes of the female (24) plus the total number of chromosomes of the male (10).

In an effort to identify the influence of genetic factors on both Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes, researchers calculated c
valentina_108 [34]

The provided question is incomplete as it lack the correct options to answer the question correctly however the correct options are as follows:

a) Environmental factors have no role in the occurrence of either type of diabetes.

b) Type II diabetes appears to be caused by a single, unidentified gene.

c) Genetic influences exert a larger role in Type II diabetes than in Type I diabetes.

d) Genetic factors have little or no role in the occurrence of Type I diabetes.

e) Type II diabetes is primarily determined by non-genetic factors.

Answer:

The correct answer option C.

Explanation:

Genetic factors influence the development of the type I and type II diabetes in monozygotic twins in the study by the concordance rates of 30 -50% and 80%. In both type of diabetes the genetic influences also present but comparatively low in dizygotic.

In this study the role of genetic influences are mentioned directly where is no information about environmental influences are present. It also suggests that the influences in Type II is higher than the type II diabetes.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
