CBSE Class 10 Answered

why can two sub populations of a species not reproduce with each other. ( 3 marks)
Asked by ashakumar | 01 Feb, 2011, 07:25: PM
Expert Answer
Dear student, 
There are many factors that prevent any two subpopulations from interbreeding.  These are called reproductive barriers; they range from behavioral isolation (when individuals from the two populations are not sexually attracted to one another) to mechanical isolation (when the parts don't fit) to gametic incompatibility (when sperm from one subpopulation can't fertilize egg from another subpopulation ) to zygotic inviability (when a zygote fails to develop), to hybrid infertility (when a hybrid individual is sterile), etc

(a) Which trait (rolling or not rolling) is controlled by the recessive allele? (b) State all possible genotypes of the F1 generation of the cross. Show the inheritance of the tongue rolling in humans in the given example using a suitable cross. What percentage of offspring will show the same genotype as the parents? OR (c) If one of the parents could not roll their tongue, with the help of a cross, calculate the ratio of tongue- rollers to non-tongue-rollers in the off springs.​
