Rotenone is a poison commonly added to insecticides. Rotenone binds tightly with one of the electron carrier molecules in the el

ectron transport chain, preventing electrons from passing to the next carrier molecle. Insects exposed to rotenone will die because
A) they will no longer be able to perform anerobic respiration.
B) high levels of fermentation products will build up in their bodies.
C) they will no longer be able to produce adequate amounts of ATP.
D) they will no longer be able to absorb water and will become dehydrated.

Answer:

The correct answer is A they will no longer be able to perform aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

Rotenone is an isoflavonid compound which act an inhibitor of electron transport chain in mitochondria.Rotenone generally blocks the transfer of electrons from from NADH CoQ dehydrogenase or complex 1 to ubiquinone.

   As electron transport is blocked the reduced coenzymes such as NADH,FADH2 are unable to be oxidized.

 As a result cells exposed to rotenone will no longer be able to perform aerobic respiration.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

10% of progeny would have wild type phenotype

Explanation:

True breeding fly with wild type wings and small eyes: De/De

True breeding fly with downward wings and wild type eyes: dE/dE

Cross between them :  De/De X dE/dE = De/dE ( F1 )

Recombination frequency = 20%

Next cross, De/dE X de/de =

De/de = parental = 40%

dE/de = parental = 40%

DE/de = recombinant = 10%

de/de = recombinant = 10%

The third genotype i.e. one of the recombinant genotypes will have the wild type makeup ( DE/de ) hence 10% of flies would have wild type phenotype.
