Drosophila may be monosomic for chromosome 4, yet remain fertile. A recessive mutant for bent bristles is identified on chromoso

me 4. Determine the genotypes of the F1 and F2 progeny for the following crosses.
The following cross is conducted of true-breeding adult flies: monosomic bent bristles x diploid normal bristles. Select the two F1 genotypes that will be produced from this cross
a. -/b+
b. -/b
c. b/b
d. b/b+
e. b+/b+

The answers are:
<span>a. -/b+
</span><span>d. b/b+</span>

b+ - the allele for normal bristles
b - the allele for bent pristles

Monosomic means there is only one instead of two alleles in a gene locus.
So, the parents' genotypes are:
<span>monosomic bent bristles: -/b
</span><span>diploid normal bristles: b+/b+

</span><span>The following cross is conducted of true-breeding adult flies:
Parents' phenotype: monosomic bent bristles x diploid normal bristles
Parents' genotype:                      -/b                   x              b+/b+
F1 generation:                       -/b+            -/b+                 b/b+            b/b+</span>

How do scientists use recombinant DNA technology to produce the drug insulin.
Dvinal [7]
Since diabetics are not able to make enough insulin, scientists use gene engineering to make it for them. they insert the gene that codes for the production of insulin in the plasmid (circular DNA of bacteria ) to create recombinent DNA, and the bacteria will asexually reproduce, making more and more of the insulin in a short amount of time! hope this helped it took me a long time to understand the whole process in this unit!

The oldest rocks found on Earth are 3.96 billion years old. However, scientists believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old
MAVERICK [17]
As the earth has active tectonics we know that rocks are recycled and the oldest rocks may therefore just be the oldest rocks that have not been recycled yet. We know the true age of the earth by looking at radioactive isotopes of things like spacedust and meteors that formed at the same time as the earth as they have not been affected by the tectonic process of recycling here on Earth.
