The inheritance of eye color in Drosophila is controlled by genes on each of the fly's four chromosome pairs. One eye-color gene

is on the fly's X chromosome, so the trait is inherited in a sex-linked manner. For this sex-linked trait, the wild-type (brick red) allele is dominant over the mutant vermilion (bright red) allele.
A homozygous wild-type female fly is mated with a vermilion male fly.

Predict the eye colors of F1 and F2 generations. (Assume that the F1 flies are allowed to interbreed to produce the F2 generation.)

all wild, all vermilion, 1/2 1/2, 3/4 1/4

F1 Females
F1 Males
F2 Females
F2 Males

Answer:

F1 Females  - all wild type

F1 Males  - all wild type

F2 Females  -  - all wild type

F2 Males - 1/2 wild type, 1/2 vermilion

Explanation:

The wild-type allele (Xᵛ⁺) is dominant over vermilion (Xᵛ), which is a sex-linked trait.

Female flies have two X chromosomes, male flies have one X and one Y chromosome.

A homozygous wild-type female fly (Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ⁺) is mated with a vermilion male fly (XᵛY).

The female parent can only produce Xᵛ⁺ gametes.

The male parent can produce either Xᵛ or Y gametes.

When gametes from both parents fuse, the F1 offspring will have the genotypes Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ (females with wild type eyes) and Xᵛ⁺Y (males with wild type eyes).

The F1 females can produce Xᵛ⁺ and Xᵛ gametes. The F1 males can produce Xᵛ⁺ and Y gametes.

When the F1 individuals interbreed, the gametes combine to give rise to the F2 offspring. The possible combination of gametes that will give the different genotypes and phenotypes in the F2 are:

  • Xᵛ⁺Xᵛ⁺ females with wild type eyes
  • Xᵛ⁺ Y males with wild type eyes
  • Xᵛ Xᵛ⁺ females with wild type eyes
  • Xᵛ Y males with vermilion eyes

How could an error during transcription affect the protein that is produced?
Ahat [919]

Answer: An error during transcription could produce a shorter protein or induce changes in the protein's sequence.

Explanation: Transcription is the process of single-stranded RNA synthesis from a DNA template (gene). During this process, RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthetize RNA, keeping the sequence. The RNA sequence will be reading later by ribosomes and protein will be produced. An error in transcription could produce changes in codons that are sequences of 3 nucleotides that determine  aminoacids of the protein, and that would change protein folding and inactive it. Another possible result would be that  error in transcription produce a premature stop codon that cause a shorter inactive protein.

What is a secondary function of the lymphatic system?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: Fighting infection

Explanation:

Lymphatic system is a type of circulatory system in all vertebrates. It is a network of tissues ,blood vessels, and organs. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to control the fluid balance by collecting the fluid present in excess from the tissues and depositing them in the stream of blood. The secondary function of the lymph system is the production of lymphocytes (white blood cells) which fights against the disease causing pathogens. Hence, fights against infection.
