Gray body, long wings 42
Gray body, apterous wings 9
Black body, apterous wings 41
Black body, Iong wings 8
Which of the following is supported by the data?

A) The alleles for gray body and long wings are dominant.
B) The alleles for gray body and long wings are recessive.
C) Genes for the two traits are located on two different chromosomes, and independent assortment occurred

Answer:

D) Genes for the two traits are located close together on the same chromosome, and crossing over occurred between the two gene loci.

Explanation:

According to the data shown above, we can see that at the crossing of the two flies the genes for the two characteristics are located close to each other on the same chromosome, and the crossing occurred between the two genetic loci.

As you may already know, a chromosome is a molecule formed by the correlation between DNA and proteins that keep the DNA compacted and prevent it from spreading.

Genetic loci, on the other hand, are regions on chromosomes where a specific gene for a specific trait is located.

You place a potato slice in a sucrose solution of unknown concentration, and leave it there for 2 hrs. When you return and weigh
snow_lady [41]

You conclude that the sucrose solution is hypotonic to the potato cells.

Explanation:

A solution is said to be hypotonic with respect to other solution if its concentration is less than the other solution to which it is compared.

A  concentration of solvent molecule in a hypotonic solution is higher than hypertonic solution so solvent moves from hypotonic to hypertonic solution due to osmosis.

The increase in weight of potato shows that it has gained water i.e. the water has entered from the sucrose solution to cells. So, the sucrose solution is hypotonic to the cell sap.

According to what you have learned about the circulatory and respiratory systems, explain how and why your heart changed its rat
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Your heart changes its rate depending on the activity, so that it can carry blood to your muscles, and therefore it needs to beat stronger if you are performing some exercise, or not so strong if you are sleeping, for example.

Explanation:

Your heart is continuously beating to keep blood circulating throughout your body.

So, here it is why your heart changes its rate: Its rate changes depending on your activity level; it is lower while you are asleep and at rest and higher while you exercise to supply your muscles with enough freshly oxygenated blood to keep the functioning at a high level.

And how: depending on your activity level, your heart has to pump enough blood to your muscles. Blood carries needed oxygen and other nutrients. Muscles need more blood sugar than any other tissue especially when working hard. To supply your muscles with oxygen your heart needs to beat faster, and this builds up your heart muscles.
