The essential information the product of the bicoid gene in Drosophila provides during development is (D) orientation of the anterior-posterior axis.

Bicoid is the maternal gene that acts as a morphogen. It expresses itself on the basis of its concentration gradient. The concentration of bicoid is high towards the anterior region, hence the region where bicoid protein is expressed les is the posterior portion.

Drosophila is the fruit fly commonly found in the households. It is one of the most studied model organism in developmental biology. This is because it can reproduce rapidly, has a relatively simple structure and is cost-effective.

Explain how goal of today’s classification system differs from earlier systems
gladu [14]

Classification systems previously were having very different goals than modern classification systems. If we look at old eras, scientists like Aristotle  and Theophrastus  tried to classify organisms on the basis of apparent characteristics, habitat and simple other traits.

Old classification systems had alot of errors and flaws. For example they classified fish and whale in one group because they lived in water, now we know fish is amphibian while whale is mammal.

So we can say that the goal o earlier classification system were just to make groups of organisms on the basis of External features.

Goal of modern classification system:

Modern classification approach was started by Linnaeus. It focuses more on biological delimitation and evolutionary histories than mere external characteristics. It organizes organisms in groups in such a way that grouping reflects their evolutionary relatedness. It is not just specie level but also focuses on sub-specie and population level classification.


Thus modern goal is better in many terms and is more reliable than old classification goals.


Hope it helps!
