Answer and Explanation:

  • The gene that expresses the size of the wing is X-linked. The dominant allele expresses long wings, XM, while the recessive allele expresses miniature wings, Xm.  
  • The gene that expresses the color of the eyes is autosomal. The dominant allele expresses red color, S, and the recessive allele expresses sepia color, s.

A <em>female fly</em> that has <em>miniature wings and sepia eyes</em> (<em>XmXm ss</em>) is crossed with a <em>male</em> that has <em>normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes (XMY SS). </em>

The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2.

1º Cross:

Parental) XmXm ss    x    XMY SS

Gametes) Xms   Xms     Xms   Xms  

                XMS   XMS    YS    YS

Punnet Square)    Xms           Xms            Xms             Xms

                YS      XmY Ss      XmY Ss       XmY Ss       XmY Ss

F1) 1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

  100% of the females (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are long-winged and  red-eyed

    100% of the males (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are miniature.winged and red-eyed.

2º Cross:

Parental) XMXm Ss      x      XmY Ss

Gametes) XMS   XMs  XmS  Xms

                XmS   Xms  YS    Ys

Punnet Square)       XMS             XMs          XmS             Xms

                  XmS    XMXm SS  XMXm Ss   XmXm SS   XmXm Ss

                  Xms    XMXm Ss   XMXm ss   XmXm Ss    XmXm ss

                   Ys       XMY Ss     XMY ss       XmY Ss        XmY ss

F2) 8/16=4/8=1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

<u><em>Females (8/16)</em></u>:    

  • 3/8 of the females are long-winged and red-eyed, XMX- S-
  • 1/8 of the females are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMX- ss
  • 3/8 of the females are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmXm S-
  • 1/8 of the females are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmXm ss

<u><em>Males (8/16)</em></u>:    

  • 3/8 of the males are long-winged and red-eyed, XMY S-
  • 1/8 of the males are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMY ss
  • 3/8 of the males are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmY S-
  • 1/8 of the males are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmY ss  

Note: The symbol "-" means that in its place might be a recessive allele or a dominant allele. For example, <em>S-</em> means that it might be <em>SS</em> or <em>Ss</em>.

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

D. The Peyer’s patches can release B cells to destroy Listeria

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance in the body by collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream.
  • It also helps defend the body against infection by supplying disease-fighting cells called lymphocytes.
  • <u>The lymph contains a high number of a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. These cells fight infection and destroy damaged or abnormal cells</u>.

Why do conservationists sometimes purposely set a forest fire?
Oxana [17]
Conservationists occasionally light forests on fire to control wild fires. By occasionally burning material (like leaves, branches, etc), those materials cannot build up and cause large and uncontrollable fires later.

Which of the following is NOT an accurate description of protein synthesis and folding?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

OPTION b. "<em>The 3D shape of a protein is determined largely by the ribosome forming the protein" </em> is NOT an accurate description of protein synthesis and folding.

Explanation:

<em>a. Many copies of a protein can be synthesized simultaneously from the same mRNA</em>.  TRUE. As a ribosome moves along the mRNA chain synthesizing a new protein, another ribosome might follow it, synthesizing another protein from the same mRNA chain. And so on. So, at the same time, many ribosomes might be attached to the mRNA, synthesizing many copies of the protein, but at different development levels. The mRNA chain together with many ribosomes is called a <em>polyribosome</em>.

b. <em>The 3D shape of a protein is determined largely by the ribosome forming the protein</em>.  FALSE. What determined the 3D structure of the protein is the amino acid sequence of that particular polypeptide. Each amino-acid has different properties (hydrophobic, hydrophilic, positively charged, negatively charged) and they interact with each other by different bonds that depend on those poperties. So the amino acids composing the proteins and their interaction, is what models the structure of the protein.

c. <em>The entire chain of amino acid exits the ribosome before it begins folding into its 3D shape</em>.  TRUE. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, the elongation process has finished, and the new protein leaves the ribosome and is translocated to the RER lumen where it is going to get folded.

d. <em>The first encoded amino acid in every protein is methionine. </em>TRUE. Almost always, the first amino acid located by the tRNA is the methionine, codified by the initiation codon AUG. This amino acid is frequently eliminated at the end of the process.
