The correct answer is A. To convert light to electrical impulses

Explanation:

Photoreceptor cells as those found in photosensitive tissue in the retina are a type of specialized cells that convert light into electrical impulses or signs that are later processed to create images or representation of the objects or elements that are being seen, this process is known as visual phototransduction. Additionally, these cells can be of different types including cones, rods and retinal ganglion cells as each of these processes different types of light. According to this, the purpose of photoreceptor cells is "To convert light to electrical impulses".

Assuming dragon genetics follows the same rules as fruit flies, what ratio of genotypes would you expect if the genes were not l
andrew11 [14]

Assuming dragon genetics follow the same rules as fruit flies, we would get the same possible genotype for all 16 offspring provided that the genes are not linked.

Considering dragon genetics, flame eyes (F) are dominant to blue eyes (f) and burbling (B) is dominant to whistling (b).

Now, a dihybrid cross between two homozygous blue-eyed, whistling dragons will yield 16 offspring all with the same possible genotype .i.e. homozygous blue-eyed, whistling type.

Morgan through experiments on fruit flies observed that when the two genes in a dihybrid cross were situated on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combination were much higher than the non-parental type.

He attributed this due to the physical association or linkage of the two genes and coined the term 'linkage' to describe the physical association of genes on a chromosome. The term 'recombination' is to describe the generation of non-parental gene combination.
