In the parental generation, a male fruit fly with a gray body (BB) and straight wings (CC) was crossed with a female fruit fly w

ith a black body (bb) and curved wings (cc). The F1 flies all had gray bodies and straight wings. A female F1 fly was crossed with a male fly that was homozygous recessive for both traits. The female fly had the B and C alleles on one chromosome and the b and c alleles on the other chromosome. Because the genes are linked, the expected ratio in the F2 generation would be 50% with gray bodies and straight wings and 50% with black bodies and curved wings. But four different phenotype combinations appear in the offspring, with two expected, but there were also offspring with gray bodies and curved wings and offspring with black bodies and straight wings. Which of the following best explains what happened?
1. A recombination occurred during the formation of the F1 female's egg cells.
2. A mutation changed the genotype of a portion of the flies in the F2 generation.
3. A mutation changed the genotype of the F1 male's DNA.
4. A recombination occurred during the formation of the F1 male's sperm cells.
5. Independent assortment resulted in the new combination of traits in the F2 generation.

Answer:

Explanation:

1) A new combination has occurred while the female F1's ovule was forming.

since the female has heterozygosity (BC / bc) and in species such as Drosophila only the females have the capacity to produce recombinant germ cells, the male is not going to show recombination. a suitable independent distribution would generate the four phenotypes in a 1: 1: 1: 1 ratio (25% of each). however there may be little recombination or the link is not absolute.

How can the carbon stored in plants reach the atmosphere?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Carbon stored in plants reaches the atmosphere via cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions that allows plants to convert the energy from nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and then release the waste products. The energy from the glucose molecules is broken down into ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are also required to convert the nutrients into ATP. In our case, carbon and oxygen are waste products so they are released into the atmosphere via the pores underneath the leaf of a plant or tree.

masya89 [10]

Answer: Both a and b

Explanation:

The presence of C-C and C-H bonds in fat makes them insoluble in water as they are non polar: do not dissolve in water. These are rich in energy in that their breakdown produces more energy than even carbohydrates themselves.
