If 1000 f2 offspring are obtained, how many flies of each phenotype are expected?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>In Drosophila + indicates wild-type allele for any gene, m is mahogany and e is ebony. Female parents are m+/m+ and males are +e/+e. F1 are m+/+e, all wild type. F1 females are crossed with me/me males - the test cross. Offspring will be : non recombinant m+/me, mahogany wild type or +e/me wild type ebony. OR recombinant me/me mahogany ebony or ++/++ wild type. As the two genes are 25 map units apart, the percentage of recombinants will be 25% and therefore percentage parental types will be 75%. 75% 1000 is 750. There are two parental types, so you would expect 375 of each. Therefore, you would expect 375 m+/me and 375 +e/me. 25% of 1000 is 250 split between two recombinants =125 of each. Therefore you would expect 135 me/me and 125 ++/++</span>

2. Explain the movement of initial energy from the sun<br> through an energy pyramid.

Ber [7]

So the sun gives energy to the producers (plants) and then the primary consumers eat the producers getting their energy from the plants. Then, the secondary consumers eat the primary consumers getting their energy from the primary consumers and finally the tertiary consumers eat the secondary consumers getting their energy from them. Therefore, the entire energy pyramid starts with the sun!

Hope this helped!

When many individuals with the same trait die before reproducing, what happens to the distribution of that trait in the populati

sattari [20]

Answer:

The distribution of that trait in the population will change, probably decreasing to near zero.

Explanation:

An evolutive force such as natural selection is acting on this population.

Natural selection is the result between the individual phenotype and the environment that determines the destiny of genes. It results in adaptation, which means the increase of the aptitude phenotype.

Aptitude (or fitness) is reflected by the phenotype that results in the survival, fertility, and capability of having a mate. Aptitude is the contribution of each genotype to the next generation. It is a way of measuring the individual ability to leave fertile offspring. Aptitude must be significant to the natural selection act in its favor.

Natural selection can act favoring an allele or against it, according to how it affects the fitness of individuals.

When many organisms in a population sharing the same trait die, this is because they did not have good fitness, so they were not adapted to the environment and its pressures. The alleles coding for that trait were not good for the fitness of the animals, so they do not get to survive.

These individuals die before reproducing, so they could not transfer their genetic charge to the following generation. Eventually, the alleles coding for the trait will decrease in the population, probably near zero. Natural selection is acting against this phenotype. Other alleles will be beneficiated, and their frequency in the population will increase.

This change in alleles frequency is what we call adaptation.

Many antibiotics inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. For example, tetracycline blocks the A site on the bacterial ribosome. Wha

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Translation may be defined as the process of formation of protein product from the RNA molecule. Three main steps of translation are initiation, elongation and termination.

Antibiotics can effect the different process of translation. Tetracycline can block the A site and thus prevent the binding of the transfer RNA with the ribosomes. This effects the initiation process of translation.Other antibiotics can directly affect the growth of the polypeptide chains and may prevent the elongation of the translation.
