Research group in Japan studied chromosomes found in Asterina pectinifera, a starfish found in the Pacific Ocean near Japan and Russia.  This starfish can reproduce asexually by fission, which is splitting into fragments and regenerating.  This starfish also reproduces sexually, where the female lays eggs and the male fertilizes the eggs. 

 

The image attached contains one of the pairs of chromosomes the research group in Japan studied.  A model representation of the chromosomes is also included and labelled P and p.  The lines on the chromosomes represent genes.  By using the information in the attached image can you complete these two models:

  • Develop a model (e.g., Punnett squares, diagrams, etc.) of an Asterina pectinifera parent (Pp) reproducing asexually and the genetic variation in the offspring.  This model must include parents, offspring, and chromosome pairs.

 

  • Develop a model  (e.g., Punnett squares, diagrams, etc.) of two Asterina pectinifera parents (Pp) reproducing sexually and the genetic variation in the offspring.  This model must include parents, offspring, and chromosome pairs.

 

  • Describe how each of two models show cause-and-effect relationships between the type of reproduction and the resulting genetic variation in offspring.
