In a given population of Drosophila, curly wings (c) is recessive to the wild-type condition of straight wings (c+). You isolate

a population of 35 curly winged flies, 70 flies that are heterozygous for straight wings, and 45 that are homozygous for straight wings. What is the total number of alleles in the gene pool?
A) 2
B) 300
C) 150
D) 230

Answer:

B) 300

Explanation:

There are two types of alleles present for wing type in this population of Drosophila, c and c+. Various combinations of these two alleles will produce different phenotypes.

c+c+ : straight wings = 45

c+c: straight wings = 70

cc: curly wings = 35

Total flies = 150

Each fly has one gene with two alleles for wing type. Hence 150 flies will have 300 alleles in the gene pool.

What has been the biggest cause of biodiversity loss? *
saw5 [17]
Habitat destruction is the key one out of all of these. Animals being kept at the zoo for research are usually endangered or vulnerable species which is doing more good than harm to them. Legal hunting of animals is most likely for rabbits, deer, and a stabilized population in the wild. Habitat destruction can destroy many populations and cause loads of damage. An example of that would be the Australian wildfires at the start of 2020.

What happens if the pressure in an angler fish habitat decreases
patriot [66]
If you are referring to selection pressure, when the selection pressure decreases, there will be weaker forces of natural selection. The angler fishes without the favourable traits would not be that strongly selected against and vice versa. In some cases such as predation selection pressure, the population of angler fishes in the habitat may increase

Do the six kingdoms each have a purpose in the real world today like it did back then.
Nuetrik [128]
I’m assuming the six kingdoms of life, but yes they do have a very large purpose for providing characteristics to bacteria, animals, fungi, humans, etc.

vesna_86 [32]

The names of the respiratory structures involved include the following: nasal cavities (or oral cavity) > pharynx > trachea > primary bronchi (right & left) > secondary bronchi > tertiary bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli.

<h3>What is respiration?</h3>

Respiration is defined as the oxygenation of blood through the intake of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide.

The pathway of oxygen gas molecule from the surrounding air through the respiratory system to the blood include respectively the following:

  • Nasal cavities (or oral cavity): This has a direct association with the outside oxygen from the environment.

  • pharynx: This so also called the throat.

  • trachea: This is also called the wind pipe.

  • Primary bronchi (right & left): This divides from the trachea to form two bronchi.

  • Secondary bronchi:

  • Tertiary bronchi:

  • bronchioles:

  • alveoli.
