BIO QUESTIONS:
1. Explain why being a dominant allele does NOT mean that theallele is more common or more frequent in a population.
2. When exactly do animal cells become haploid during gameteformation? Be specific.
Why is it important for sexually reproducing organisms to havehaploid gametes?
3. Horses and donkeys can hybridize to create a mule, which hassome good qualities of both horses and donkeys. Horses somaticcells have 64 chromosomes while donkey somatic cells have 62.
What is the chromosomal number for the gametes of horses? Ofdonkeys? What is the diploid number for the somatic cells of amule?
Using what you know about meiosis, why is it likely that mulescannot produce their own gametes but they CAN produce somatic cells(body cells) just fine?
