The male fruit fly has an XY profile of the sex chromosomes, and the female has an XX profile of the sex chromosomes.
If a male is white-eyed, then it must have a white recessive allele on his only X chromosome and the red eyed female can be homozygous (having two dominant red eye alleles) or heterozygous (having both a dominant and a recessive allele).
If the female is homozygous then all of the offspring will be red-eyed, and if she's heterozygous then half of the offspring will be white eyed. (see the table provided below)

What species is/are formed at the anode of the alkaline fuel cell?
umka21 [38]

Fuel cells can make an electricity from a simple electrochemical reaction in which oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water. There are several different types of fuel cell but they are all based around a central design which consists of two electrodes, a negative anode and a positive cathode. These are separated by a solid or liquid electrolyte that carries electrically charged particles between the two electrodes. A catalyst, such as platinum, is often used to speed up the reactions at the electrodes. Fuel cells are classified according to the nature of the electrolyte. Every type needs particular materials and fuels and is suitable for any applications. The article below uses the proton exchange membrane fuel cell to illustrate the science and technology behind the fuel cell concept but the characteristics and applications of the other main designs are also discussed.  Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC)

The hydrogen ions permeate across the electrolyte to the cathode, while the electrons flow through an external circuit and provide power. Oxygen, in the form of air, is supplied to the cathode and this combines with the electrons and the hydrogen ions to produce water. These reactions at the electrodes are as follows:

Anode: 2H24H+ + 4e-

Cathode: O2 + 4H+ + 4e- 2H2O

Overall: 2H2 + O22H2O + energy

PEM cells operate at a temperature of around 80°C. At this low temperature the electrochemical reactions would normally occur very slowly so they are catalysed by a thin layer of platinum on each electrode.

Mushrooms are usually considered part of the microbial world because their fungal hyphae are microscopic. Some mushrooms have a
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Basidiocarp

Explanation:

This is a multicellular structure found in mushroom that are visible to the naked eye and are spore producing. They are the structures of which spore producing basidia are formed. They called called false ruffles. The basidiocarps serve as the structure on which the hymenium is produced. They are the fruiting bodies of mushroom.

How is a tendon different from a ligament?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
