While working in a genetics lab over the summer, you isolated a true-breeding strain of wingless drosophila. after sharing your

results with your mentor, you learn that six other true-breeding strains of drosophila with the same mutant phenotype have been isolated independently in your lab. your mentor asks you to determine if the mutants belong to the same complementation group. what is true about flies that belong to the same complementation group? what would be the outcome of crossing two strains of wingless flies that belong to the same complementation group? select all answers that apply to the two questions?

Answer:

If the two mutations are on different genes, mating together, the progeny will have the function restored.else if the mutation is the same, the function shall remain and wingless progeny will be visible.

Explanation:Just to explain shall use an example.Suppose there are two different mutations . The genes be called as 1 and 2.Also assume that they make proteins 1 and 2.Now the two proteins shall perform two different functions but the end wingless character is maintained.Now suppose fly 1 has mutation 1 and protein 1 is not being synthesized .But yet it is being synthesized in fly 2, that has a mutation in protein 2.when the two are mated protein 1 comes from fly 2 and protein 2 comes from Fly 1, as a result the two proteins and their functional copies are available and hence all functions completed and the fly develops a wing.The essential thing to understand is that if two flies have two different mutations both will have the two proteins from the other fly and the function of the protein will be completed.

To calibrate the x-axis for 14C decay, you have to convert half-lives to number of years. Recall that 14C has a single half-life
hjlf

Answer:

d. 28,650 years

Explanation:

Since 14C has a single half-life of 5,730 years

The number of years that is going to make up 5 half-lives for 14C will be;

5,730 years × 5 = 28,650 years

6. Which of the following has the lowest cost of production of recombinant proteins?
mina [271]

Answer:

Bacteria

Explanation:

Bacteria constitutes large group of unicellular organisms that lacks membrane bound organelles and constitute cell wall. Bacteria are used for the production of recombinant proteins.

Bacteria can be selected easily for the recombinant protein formation. The plasmid of bacteria is helpful for the integration of desired genes and the production of protein. The bacteria culture can be maintained easily in the laboratory. The different strains of bacteria with different traits can be used for the production of different recombinant proteins at low cost.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

Which of these choices is an advantage of the Endangered Species Act?
Sindrei [870]

The correct answer is option C, that is, saves species from extinction.  

The Endangered Species Act is one of the most essential and efficient environmental laws of America. It signifies a willingness by the people of America to work in harmony and restore and protect the species most vulnerable of getting disappeared forever.  

The act offers common sense, balanced solutions for the landowners, government agencies, and concerned citizens to preserve the endangered wildlife and their habitats. It includes three prime elements:  

1. Inhibiting the listed species from getting harmed or killed

2. Developing plans to restore healthy populations

3. Safeguarding habitat important to these species survival.

____ [38]
There are two types of neurons in our legs: motor neuron and sensory neuron. These send and receive messages to and from each other and the brain.  

After Ed's accident, he can't move his injured leg since the motor neuron is dysfunctional. The sensory neuron is functional so he can feel his limbs but can't move them since when the sensory neuron sends a message to the motor neuron, it isn't able to deliver the message to the brain to make the leg move. This is why he can still feel his limbs but is not able to move them.
