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

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Sparse coding

Explanation:

Sparse coding can be described or explained as a situation where items are encoded or represented by strong activation of a relatively small sets of neurons.

It should be understood that neurons code for the intensity of stimulus , and this is done in two ways which are

* Frequency coding...here, the firing rate of sensory neurons increases with increased intensity, and

* Population coding....here, the number of primary afferent responding increases.

In this case, the results derived or gotten from both Arthur's and Roger's faces supported the sparse coding.

As a project manager, sarah uses many different tools and techniques. which tool or technique should sarah use to hold a kickoff
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: teleconferencing

Explanation:

    Using peer-to-peer collaboration will not work if the members work at many different locations.

    While instant messaging may work, it can be hard to have a meeting this way.

     Templates do not apply to this situation.

     This leaves us with the answer of "teleconferencing" as you can have a meeting with people online, even when they are far apart.

In an article about saving the whales written by a marine biologist, which word might be used by the author to make you want to
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Endangered

Explanation:

Endangered species are organisms that are at risk of extinction if deliberate efforts are not made to conserve them due to a rapid decrease in their population.

<em>Hence, if a marine biologist writes an article about saving whales and labels them as </em><em>endangered species</em><em>, all efforts should be geared towards saving the animals lest they go extinct and leave a vacuum in the functioning of the ecosystem.  Every species have the critical roles they play in the functioning of the ecosystem and the extinction of any particular species represents a loss that might not be replaceable. </em>
