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

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.

Burka [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. lytic cycle.

Explanation:

The lytic cycle is one of the two viral reproduction cycle. Generally, it is the major reproduction cycle. In this cycle reproduction of the viruses takes place inside the host cell and produce more viruses. In the production of the more viruses the host cell and it''s destruction takes place in the end. The 5 steps that takes place are as follows:

1- attachment - viruses attach to the cell.

2-penetration- only nucleic acid or genetic material is injected into the host cell through the hole made by the tail fibers and enzymes.

3- synthesis - replication of viral nucleic acid and protein and envelope.

4- assembly - assembling of the new viruses formed.

5- release.

Thus, the correct answer is - option D.
