Which of the following are causes of indoor air pollution? Select all that are true.
Aleks [24]

"Carpeting", and "furniture increased ventilation" inefficient indoor cook stoves "VOCs from paints".

Option: C

<u>Explanation</u>:

VOC's are really harmful solvents that are released in the air as the paint dries. The VOC's can create acute health symptoms which may result harmful after some time, like dizziness, headache, and many more. Generally, the long term effects are not that evident, but some VOC's are more carcinogens according to US environmental protection agency. Although, many paint companies claim that their paints are VOC free which is actually false. It might be true that the VOC is not present in the base of the paint, but when the pigment is added to the paint the VOC increases. Hence, carpeting, furniture, cook stoves and VOC's from paints are really harmful indoor pollutants.

A female fly that has miniature wings and sepia eyes is crossed with a male that has normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes
Eduardwww [97]

Answer and Explanation:

  • The gene that expresses the size of the wing is X-linked. The dominant allele expresses long wings, XM, while the recessive allele expresses miniature wings, Xm.  
  • The gene that expresses the color of the eyes is autosomal. The dominant allele expresses red color, S, and the recessive allele expresses sepia color, s.

A <em>female fly</em> that has <em>miniature wings and sepia eyes</em> (<em>XmXm ss</em>) is crossed with a <em>male</em> that has <em>normal wings and is homozygous for red eyes (XMY SS). </em>

The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2.

1º Cross:

Parental) XmXm ss    x    XMY SS

Gametes) Xms   Xms     Xms   Xms

                YS      XmY Ss      XmY Ss       XmY Ss       XmY Ss

F1) 1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

  100% of the females (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are long-winged and  red-eyed

    100% of the males (1/2 or 50% of the progeny) are miniature.winged and red-eyed.

F2) 8/16=4/8=1/2 or 50% of the progeny are females and the other 1/2 or 50% are males

<u><em>Females (8/16)</em></u>:    

  • 3/8 of the females are long-winged and red-eyed, XMX- S-
  • 1/8 of the females are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMX- ss
  • 3/8 of the females are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmXm S-
  • 1/8 of the females are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmXm ss

<u><em>Males (8/16)</em></u>:    

  • 3/8 of the males are long-winged and red-eyed, XMY S-
  • 1/8 of the males are long-winged and sepia-eyed, XMY ss
  • 3/8 of the males are miniature-winged and red-eyed, XmY S-
  • 1/8 of the males are miniature-winged and sepia-eyed, XmY ss  

Note: The symbol "-" means that in its place might be a recessive allele or a dominant allele. For example, <em>S-</em> means that it might be <em>SS</em> or <em>Ss</em>.
