Q

Why is cloning yourself the best option in a homogeneous environment?

35
Q

Which types of animals use parthenogenesis?

A

invertebrates

36
Q

what is Asexuality by clonal propagation?

A

multiplication of genetically identical copies of individual plants

37
Q

Which types of species go through clonal propagation?

A

common in plants

38
Q

are many species exclusively asexual?

A

no

39
Q

where are Asexual species usually located in phylogenies?

A

at the tip

40
Q

how are Macroevolutionary patterns in asexual species related to extinction risk? why is this

A

indicates a higher extinction rate
why:
low genetic variation & accumulation of
deleterious mutations

41
Q

what is the Mystery of Bdelloid rotifers?

A

they can go millions of years without having sex

42
Q

what are mates like in terms of relativeness in outbreeding

A

less relative than random

43
Q

what are mates like in terms of relativeness in inbreeding?

A

they are more related than random

44
Q

what is outcrossing?

A

when an organism breeds with another organism that is not closely related to it

45
Q

can outcrossing be inbreeding or outbreeding?

A

yes

46
Q

what is Selfing or self-fertilization?

A

fusion of male and female gametes by the same individual

Q

what is the most extreme form of inbreeding

A

Selfing

A

2 parents

49
Q

what is the Fusion of gametes in inbreeding?

A

Fusion of gametes from 1 parent

50
Q

what are Gametes derive from in outcrossing and inbreeding?

A

Gametes derive from meiotic reductive division

51
Q

what does Local population substructure enhance?

A

mating among relatives

52
Q

What is mating like in small populations?

A

even random mating can lead to mating among relatives

53
Q

what do flowers do to avoid inbreeding in terms of their appearance?

A

develop large, showy flowers to attract pollinators

54
Q

what do flowers do to avoid inbreeding in terms of their reproduction timing?

A

Change timing offset between male and female reproduction. specifically, pollen vs ovulation timing and when male and female flowers open

55
Q

what is an example of a physiological
mechanisms to avoid selfing?

A

spacing of anther and stigma

56
Q

what are inbreeding Avoidance Behaviors in Animals? (4)

A

Dispersal by one sex (one sex moving away from others of the same breed)

delayed maturation

extra pair copulation (mating with someone else other than your long-term partner)

kin recognition and avoidance (an organism’s ability to distinguish between close genetic kin and non-kin and avoid genetic kin)

57
Q

how do Population genetic effects relate to genotype in inbreeding?

A

changes genotype frequency

58
Q

how do Population genetic effects relate to homozygosity in inbreeding?

no direct effect on allele frequencies

61

A

selfing is the steepest

sibling is the second-steepest

double first cousin is the least steep

63
Q

what is Inbreeding Depression?

A

reduced fitness of inbred offspring compared to outcrossed offspring

64
Q

what are the affect of inbreeding Depression?

A

lower viability (survival)

lower fertility (ability to reproduce)

65
Q

what does Strong inbreeding depression disfavour? what does it favour instead?

A

inbred offspring thus favoring outcrossed mating systems

66
Q

A

Homozygosity of recessive deleterious alleles

67

A

Heterozygosity (H) reduced by 50% per generation with
self-fertilization

68
Q

The genetic consequences of inbreeding in terms of homozygous genotypes?

A

Competition between homozygous genotypes

69
Q

The genetic consequences of inbreeding in terms of genetic drift?

A

genetic drift of small populations can reduce phenotype

70
Q

what does Homozygosity for deleterious recessive alleles result in?

A

inbreeding depression

71
Q

how many genes do out crossers produce? where do the genes come from?

A

2 genes in total, one from the seen and one from the pollen

72
Q

how many genes do sellers produce? where do the genes come from?

A

three genes in total, two from the seed and one from the pollen

73
Q

what condition is needed for selfing to spread and how does it spread?

A

If conditions are favourable selfing can spread
via natural selection

74
Q

what do harmful effects of inbreeding depression encourage?

A

outbreeding depression

75
Q

why does selfing have a lack of reproductive assurance?

A

due to rarity of pollinators or mates

76
Q

what does “Transmission advantage from self + exported pollen” mean?

A

because selfers and outcrosses both transmit copies of genes through pollen but selfers transmit twice as many through seed, selfers have an automatic advantage at the gene level compared to out crossers

77
Q

how does selfing do to diversity?

A

decreases diversity

78
Q

how does selfing relate to selection?

A

decreases selection

79
Q

how does selfing relate to extinction?

A

drive higher extinction rates

80
Q

why is the macroevolutionary pattern of greater prevalence in outcrossing?
