In Drosophila, the autosomal recessive pr and cn mutations cause brown and bright-red eyes, respectively (wild-type flies have b

rick-red eyes). Flies who are homozygous recessive at both pr and cn have orange eyes. A female who has wild-type eyes is crossed to an orange-eyed male. Their progeny have the following distribution of eye colors:
10 wild-type
240 brown
240 bright red
10 orange

The mother of these progeny resulted from a cross between flies from two true-breeding lines.
What are the genotypes of these two lines?

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Complete question is

The original mother resulted from a cross between two flies from true breeding lines.

What are the genotypes of these two lines? (Note that the chromosomes are NOT

indicated this time).

a) pr+ pr+ cn cn and pr pr cn+ cn+  

b) pr+ pr+ cn+ cn+ and pr pr cn cn  

c) pr+ pr+ cn cn and pr pr cn cn  

d) pr pr cn+ cn+ and pr+ pr+ cn cn  

e) either a) or d) could be true.

Solution

True breeding species will have the same  allele pairs for their characteristic traits.

It is given that mother of the progeny has arisen from two  true breeding lines

Thus,  both the parents must have same allele in the allele pair of their genotype

Also the female has wild type eyes, thus her genotype would be pr+cn/pr

Therefore the genotype of parents is

pr+ pr+ cn+ cn+ and pr pr cn cn

There by producing all offspring with genotype  pr pr + / cn cn+

Hence, option B is correct

Nearly all eukaryotic cells contain a class of small, round organelles that contain oxidative enzymes. The enzymes break down or
Ivenika [448]

The correct answer is peroxisomes.  

Peroxisome refers to a small organelle found in the cytoplasm of various cells that comprises catalase (the reducing enzyme) and generally some oxidases.  

They are the minute vesicles and comprises the digestive enzymes used for dissociating toxic components in the cell. They are not similar to lysosomes on the basis of the kind of enzymes they withheld. The peroxisomes generally contain enzymes that need oxygen, that is, oxidative enzymes.

nevsk [136]

Answer: Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level.

Explanation: In simpler words, it provides energy for the cell to do basic needs.
