Answer:
The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"
Explanation:
The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.
Answer: Phenotypic ratio=2:2; Genotypic ratio= 2:2.
Explanation: Test cross is the breeding of an individual with Phenotypically recessive individuals.
Heterozygous wire-haired = Ww
Recessive trait= ww
Test crossing result of offspring= Ww Ww ww ww
Genotypic ratio (genetic composition) = 2:2
Phenotypic ratio= 2:2
2 offsprings are wire-haired and 2 Offspring are smooth-haired.
Prophase. This is the first stage of nuclear division

Answer:
D.20,000
Explanation:
The Gross Annual Primary Productivity for the wetland ecosystem is the amount of carbon taken up by the aquatic producers through photosynthesis.
Given that: Net Annual Primary Producer is 8,000 kcal/m2 per year, and respiration by the aquatic producers is 12,000 kcal/m2 per year, using the formula NPP = GPP – Respiration, we can determine the Gross Annual Primary Productivity of the wetland ecosystem.
NNP = 8,000 kcal/m2
Respiration = 12,000 kcal/m2
GPP = x
8,000 = x – 12,000 (NPP = GPP – Respiration)
Solve for x:
x = 8,000 + 12,000
x = 20,000 kcal/m2 per year
GPP = 20,000 kcal/m2 per year
