In fruit flies, the allele for white eyes is recessive to the allele for red eyes. In a generation of fruit flies, 45 males with

white eyes, 46 females with white eyes, 44 males with red eyes, and 47 females with red eyes are produced. Which of the following is the best conclusion you can make about the parents of this generation?
Select one:
a. One parent was heterozygous for eye color and the other was homozygous with red eyes.
b. Both parents were homozygous with red eyes.
c. One parent had white eyes and the other was heterozygous for eye color.
d. Both parents were heterozygous for eye color.


While mRNA strands are being created, a sequence is sometimes miscopied. What is the worst that could happen to a cell should this take place?

a. The cell will not make functional proteins from that mRNA strand.
b. The cell will die once it tries to use that strand of mRNA.
c. The cell will have to destroy any ribosomes that use the mRNA strand.
d. The cell will pass the mRNA on to all the cells made from it.


Which of the following would most likely cause a harmful genetic mutation?

a. Insertion of three base pairs into the genetic sequence.
b. Polyploidy mutations, or inheriting an extra set of chromosomes.
c. Chromosomal mutation in germ-line cells are inherited.
d. Exposure to other mutated organisms or cells.

1 is C - see first attachment. Genotypes with Y's represent males, and big R represents red eyes, while little r represents white eyes. For example XRxr is a heterozygous (red-eyed) female, and XrYr is a homozygous white-eyed male.

2 is B because the absence of functional proteins and some ribosomes due to the mRNA strand is not as detrimental as the loss of the entire cell.

3 is B. (The insertion of 3 base pairs into a genetic sequence is the length of a single codon, meaning that only one amino acid in the entire polypeptide was added)

How do the main sequence stages of these two sizes of stars differ?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Stellar evolution is the process by which a star undergoes a sequence of radical changes during its lifetime. Depending on the mass of the star, this lifetime ranges from only a few million years (for the most massive) to trillions of years (for the less massive), considerably more than the age of the universe. ^ 

Small, relatively cold, low mass red dwarfs burn hydrogen slowly and will burn for hundreds of billions of years 

Massive hot supergiants will live for just a few million years. 

A mid-sized star like the Sun will remain on the main sequence for about 10 billion years. Hope tis helps!!
