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%

Why does the enzyme pepsin (present in the stomach) denature in the intestine?
Art [367]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The enzyme pepsin that is present in the stomach denature in the intestine due to the alkaline environment of the intestine. This is because pepsin has an optimum pH that is very low which is ideal for the acidic conditions of the stomach.
