A. endoskeleton
Endoskeleton is not a characteristic of Arthropods that has attributed to their diversity and success. Endoskeleton is defined as inner characteristics of the skeletal feature of an organisms such as bears, humans, fish and etc.
Exoskeleton on the other hand is the trait by which arthropods posses. It is skeletal feature that is described outside or is extrinsic, this is evident as crabs have their skeletons outside of their body.
Answer:
F1 Females - all wild type
F1 Males - all wild type
F2 Females - - all wild type
F2 Males - 1/2 wild type, 1/2 vermilion
Explanation:
The wild-type allele (Xᵛ⁺) is dominant over vermilion (Xᵛ), which is a sex-linked trait.
Female flies have two X chromosomes, male flies have one X and one Y chromosome.
A homozygous wild-type female fly (Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ⁺) is mated with a vermilion male fly (XᵛY).
The female parent can only produce Xᵛ⁺ gametes.
The male parent can produce either Xᵛ or Y gametes.
When gametes from both parents fuse, the F1 offspring will have the genotypes Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ (females with wild type eyes) and Xᵛ⁺Y (males with wild type eyes).
The F1 females can produce Xᵛ⁺ and Xᵛ gametes. The F1 males can produce Xᵛ⁺ and Y gametes.
When the F1 individuals interbreed, the gametes combine to give rise to the F2 offspring. The possible combination of gametes that will give the different genotypes and phenotypes in the F2 are:
- Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ⁺ females with wild type eyes
- Xᵛ⁺ Y males with wild type eyes
- Xᵛ Xᵛ⁺ females with wild type eyes
- Xᵛ Y males with vermilion eyes
Answer:
All their descendants will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb, expressing blue skin.
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- Smurfette has light blue skin
- Her family is a "true bred" or "purebred" line.
- She married a boy who has light yellow skin
- blue skin is the dominant trait expressed by the B allele
- yellow skin is a recessive trait, expressed by the b allele
Cross: Smurfette x Husband
Parentals) BB x bb
Gametes) B B b b
Phenotypes) blue skin yellow skin
Punnett square)
B B
b Bb Bb
b Bb Bb
F1) 100% of the progeny will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb
100% of the progeny will be blue-skinned.
Note: Although the progeny is blue-skinned, they are not true-bred anymore.
Answer and Explanation:
Because the DNA sequence determines a protein's amino acid sequence, a gene shared by two closely related organisms should have similar, or even identical, amino acid sequences. That's because closely related species most likely diverged from one another fairly recently in the evolutionary span. Thus, they haven't had as much time to accumulate random mutations in their genetic codes.
