In some jacana species, males take care of the eggs and young, and females compete among themselves for territories that contain one to several males. Female jacanas are significantly larger than males. Which of these statements would you predict to be true of this bird species?

a. Male jacana fitness is primarily limited by ability to take care of eggs and raise young.

b. Female jacana fitness is limited by the number of males in her territory with which a female mates.

c. Variation in reproductive success should be greater in male jacanas than in females.

d. Variation in reproductive success should be greater in female jacanas than in males.

e. Males and females have equal variation in reproductive success.

A certain kind of snail can have a right-handed direction of shell coiling (D) or left handed coiling (d). If direction of coiling is due to a protein deposited by the mother in the egg cytoplasm, then a Dd egg-producing snail and a dd sperm-producing snail will have offspring of which genotype(s) and phenotype(s)?

Maternal inheritance of coiling of shell in snail (limnaea peregra) is well established. The dextral coiling depends on dominant allele D and sinistral coiling depends upon recessive allele d. A female F1 progeny of dextral(Dd) type is crossed with a male dextral (Dd). What will be the phenotype ratio in progeny?

In the plants, due to mutation in the mitochondrial genome causing cytoplasmic male sterility can be influenced by the nuclear gene (Rf),  which is dominant over the cytoplasmic mitochondrial genome. If a male sterile plant  is pollinated by the fertile male plant with homozygous (Rf)condition, the progeny obtained in F1 will have

In Neurospora crasssa, the mutant exhibit poky phenotype, when a female of  poky strain is crossed with a normal strain acting as a male , all progeny individuals shows poky phenotype . however, the reciprocal cross resulted in all normal progeny. These results can be explained on the basis of
