Question: A scientist is studying fruit fly wings. Straight wings are dominant, and curly wings are recessive. Which statement correctly describes the F1 generation if a straight-winged parent is crossed with a curly-winged parent and if both parents are true breeding?
Answer choices:
1. The offspring will have two genes for straight wings.
2. The offspring will produce only gametes that have genes for curly wings.
3. The offspring will have one allele for straight wings and one allele for curly wings.
4. The offspring will have only one kind of allele for the gene that determines wing type.
Correct answer: The offspring will have one allele for straight wings and one allele for curly wings.
Yes, you are correct. Both starch and glycogen are carbohydrates. Starch and glycogen are both complex carbohydrates because they consist of polysaccharides.
Respiratory acidosis is caused due to hypoventilation because of which gas exchange process is hindered. As a result CO2 produced in body is not excreted adequately and it starts to accumulate. Its concentration in plasma increases and it combines with water molecules in plasma to form carbonic acid. Carbonic acid drops the pH of the blood and thus acidic environment is created. Since this event is a product of faulty respiratory mechanism, it is called respiratory acidosis.
