In fruit flies, the gene for red eyes (R) is dominant and the gene for sepia eyes (r) is recessive. If a red-eyed heterozygous f

ly (Rr) mates with a sepia-eyed homozygous fly (rr), what are the possible genotypes of their offspring? (Hint: You many want to complete a Punnett square.)
Rr only

RR, Rr, and rr

Rr and rr

RR and Rr

The answer is Rr and rr.

We know:
r - recessive allele
R - dominant allele
RR - dominant homozygote with red eyes
Rr - heterozygote with red eyes (since one dominant allele R can mask recessive allele r)
rr - recessive homozygote with sepia eyes

Heterozygote Rr can give to the offspring either dominant allele R or recessive allele r. Recessive homozygote rr can give to the offspring only recessive allele r (take a look at the uploaded image of Punnett square).
After crossing the parents:
Parents:        Rr    x     rr
Offspring:  Rr    rr    Rr    rr

So:
2 out of 4 offspring will be with heterozygous with red eyes Rr: 2/4 = 0.5 = 50%
2 out of 4 offspring will be with homozygous with sepia eyes rr: 2/4 = 0.5 = 50%

sasho [114]

Answer:

Process of photosynthesis takes place.

Explanation:

When carbon dioxide comes inside the leaves from their stomata then water and carbon dioxide combine and form a six-carbon compound having six oxygen and twelve hydrogen compound as well. This process is called photosynthesis. The glucose formed in this process is used by plant and animal too. So this process is necessary for life on this earth.

<h2>Diffuse co-evolution </h2>

Explanation:

The term ‘diffuse co-evolution’ was given by Janzen in 1980 to describe the idea that selection on traits often reflects the actions of many community members, as opposed to pairwise interactions between species

The idea was further clarified by Gould in 1988 by focusing on a variety of ecological and genetic mechanisms that might lead to diffuse co-evolution in response to selection from multiple species

Diffuse co-evolution as a whole can be defined as when selection imposed reciprocally by one species on another is dependent on the presence or absence of other species

In the given example panic grass can live only when the fungus protuberata is present and for Curvularia protuberata to colonize Curvularia thermal tolerance virus must be present so there is a web of multiple species where one species is dependent on other species and that other species in turn is dependent on different species hence referred to as diffuse co-evolution

Why does a fever cause a life-threatening problem​
Sav [38]

Answer:

The fever is the immune system's attempt to kill the infection. Very rarely, however, this immune response can result in a fever high enough to cause permanent harm or even life-threatening complications due to overheating.
