In Drosophila, the genes for body coloration and eye size are on different chromosomes. Normal-colored bodies are dominant to eb

ony-colored (very dark) bodies, and normal-sized eyes are dominant to being eyeless. Line A is true breeding for normal body and normal eye, whereas line B is true breeding for ebony bodies and eyeless. Individuals from lines A and B are crossed. From a dihybrid cross between the F1 generation, 400 flies are scored. How many of these F2 flies are expected to have both normal body color and normal eyes?​

Answer:

225 flies

Explanation:

Let gene for body colour : A

Let gene for eye type : B

Parent 1 : normal body and normal eyes = AABB

Parent 2: ebony body and eyeless = aabb

F1 : AABB X aabb = AaBb ( all have normal body and normal eye )

F1 progeny is self crossed given that the two genes are on different chromosomes which means they show independent assortment:

AaBb X AaBb =

A_B_ = normal body, normal eyes = 9

aaB_ = ebony body, normal eyes = 3

A_bb = normal body, eyeless  = 3    

aabb = ebony body, eyeless  =   1

Hence the ratio is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1

Out of the 400 flies:

(9/16) * 400 = 225 flies have normal body colour and normal eyes

We have talked about the central and peripheral nervous systems. We know that the peripheral nervous system relays signals to an
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

  1. The peripheral nervous system has - Somatic nervous system and Autonomic nervous system.
  2. These systems control our body action by this controls all the types of muscles.

Explanation:

  • Somatic nervous system have -  Cranial nerves and  Spinal nerves
  • Autonomic nervous system have -   Sympathetic and  Parasympathetic  system.
  • The somatic nervous system controls our voluntary and involuntary actions by cranial and spinal nerves and controls all three types of muscles such as cardiac, smooth and skeletal.
  • The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary actions of our internal organs.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system relates to all types of muscle.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system accelerates and decelerates the heart beat respectively, by this controls the cardiac muscle.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system stimulates and relaxes our internal organs respectively, by this controls the smooth muscles.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system prepares our body as a whole for a action and also relaxes our whole body respectively, by this controls the skeletal muscles.

In a nucleotide, the nitrogenous base is attached to the sugar's _____ carbon and the phosphate group is attached to the sugar's
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

A. 1' ... 5'

Explanation:

The pentose sugars present in nucleotides have five-carbon structures. Other components of a nucleotide are a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous base in a nucleotide can be a purine or pyrimidine. The purine bases are covalently joined to the 1' carbon atom of the pentose sugar at their N-9. The bond between the nitrogenous base and a pentose sugar is called the N-beta glycosyl bond.

Similarly, N-1 of a pyrimidine base is covalently linked to the 1' carbon of the pentose sugar. The phosphate group of a nucleotide is bonded to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar.

Which statement is FALSE?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

c. Giraffes that stretch their necks more than other giraffes will have babies with longer necks.

Explanation:

Giraffes that stretch their necks will not have babies with longer necks. A trait only shows in next generation if it is genetically inherited i.e. the gametes carry the trait to the next generation.

When giraffes stretch their necks, they are modifying their actions in their life time which will have no effect on the gametes. Hence, this trait wont be passed to the next generation and babies will not have longer necks.
