Three ways you can identify pairs of homologous chromosomes?

Biology

diamong [38]2 years ago
6 0

An organism inherits one chromosome of a homologous pair from the maternal parent and the other chromosome from the paternal parent. Although both chromosomes possess the same genes and loci, they may feature different alleles, or versions, of those genes. For example, a maternally inherited chromosome in a pea plant may contain an allele that codes for a green pod, while the allele for a yellow pod may be found at the same location on the paternally inherited homologous chromosome. The differences between alleles of a gene are determined by deviations in their DNA sequences.

A diploid organism possesses two copies of each type of chromosome, with the potential exception of the sex chromosomes, in each of its cells. Humans, for example, have a total of 46 chromosomes in their cells. Human females have two copies of the sex chromosome called the X chromosome, so they have 23 sets of homologous chromosomes. Human males, however, possess one X sex chromosome and one Y sex chromosome, so they have 22 sets of homologous chromosomes, plus two sex chromosomes that are not homologous.

In fruit flies, L = long wings and I = short wings. When a long winged fly is crossed with a short winged fly, the off spring ex
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Genotype of long winged fly is Ll

Genotype of short winged fly is ll

Explanation:

Given

Allele for long wing trait is "L"

Allele for short wing trait is "l"

When a long winged fly is crossed with a short winged fly, half of the offspring have long wings and other half have short wings as the ratio is 1:1

Let us say that the genotype of long winged fly is Ll

and the genotype of short winged fly is ll

The cross between the two will produce following offspring

Ll * ll

Ll, Ll, ll, ll

Out of four off spring two have long wings (Ll)

and the other two have short wings (ll)

Thus the ration of long to short wing offspring is 2:2 i.e 1:1

I think it's A?? B makes sense but the beginning of the paragraph is talking about how the royal society of science wasn't impressed, so it seems like the focus is on that and not how he defended against lightning strikes.
