Part H: Lecture 18 Flashcards
mechanisms for sex determination
1) Environmental
2) Single autosomal gene
3) Haplodiploid
Environmental sex determination definition
some environmental factor determines sex
Environmental sex determination example
egg temperature of sea turtles determines sex (turtles in the middle of nest are male)
sea turtles: egg temp- warm?
male turtle
sea turtles: egg temp- cool?
female turtle
sex turtle male: female ratio
1:1
single autosomal gene sex determination example
asparagus and M-gene
asparagus and M-gene (male and female)
male: M/m
female: m/m
asparagus male: female ratio
1:1
Haplodiploid sex determination example
Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants)
diploid honey bees are ____
female
haploid honey bees are ____
male
3 types of honey bees
worker female diploid (smallest)
queen female diploid (largest)
drone male haploid
honeybees that are fertile
drone (n=16)
queen (2n=32)
how queens produce egg
meiosis
how drone produce sperm
mitosis
