Chromosome iv in drosophila is a very small chromosome and carries a tiny amount of genetic material. fruit flies that are triso

mic for chromosome iv have no apparent phenotypic abnormalities, and they retain their fertility. among the genes on chromosome iv is one for which a recessive allele ey produces the "eyeless" phenotype. a male that is trisomic for chromosome iv and has the genotype + + ey is crossed to a diploid eyeless female with the genotype eyey.

If I assume that random segregation of chromosomes takes place during spermatogenesis and all sperms are viable then I will take the male through meiosis.
The three chromosomes are +, +, ey
Then you double them into sister chromatids which is ++, ++, eyes.
If I consider all possible alignments during metaphase as, the three homologous pairs and gather at the metaphase plate.
Remember that any two of the three pairs will join together and odd pair out will line up at the metaphase plate with no partner pair.
There are three different arrangements which are possible for the three homologous pairs. 
Two of the three possible arrangements will segregate and make two sperm with +ey and two sperm with +. The other arrangement will segregate and make two sperm with ++ and two sperm with ey.
When meiosis is being done, then the sperm genotypes and their proportions are, 
1/3+ey, 1/3+, 1/6++, 1/6ey

What do the rib muscles and diaphragm have in common?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Both are breathing muscles

Explanation:

When rib muscles and the diaphragm contract they increase the volume of the chest cavity, increasing the air pressure outside the body, causing air to rush into the lungs to fill the vacuum created by the increase in volume.

The nitrogen cycle is completed with the process of Denitrification

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Denitrification finishes the nitrogen cycle by transforming nitrate behind to vaporous nitrogen. Denitrifying bacteria are the doers of this method. These bacteria utilize nitrate alternately of oxygen while gaining energy, delivering nitrogen gas into the environment.

Denitrification relies on microbial action to crumble freely nitrogen-containing components. Bacilli absorb nitrate to generate energy, but in the method, denitrification transpires and nitrogen is diminished.   Denitrification is an anaerobic means, transpiring chiefly in soils and deposits and anoxic zones in ponds and shores.

Answer:

The US elections of 1860, one year before the civil war.

Explanation:

Letter to the editor,

Dear sir,

Never before in the history of this once proud and united country have elections divided this country in two. As the Democratic Party´s disagreement over the oficial party policy on slavery very clearly shows (with a Southern Democratic candidate and a 'normal' Democratic one), the deeply felt ideological split between the Northern and the Southern States has now, although Abraham Lincoln is chosen as the President, become a fact. This means that we, the United States of America, are no longer United.

You notice that some squirrels in your neighborhood have a much darker coat color than most of the other squirrels. Is this dark
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Yes, it is an adaptation.

Explanation:

The squirrels with the darker coat color may have adapted to fit in with the surroundings, like if your neighborhood had darker colored tree bark. There is also the possibility that they adapted to avoid predators, such as stray cats and dogs (which would mean that they adapted to become less visible to their attacker).
