Two mutant flies both have white eyes (red is the normal eye color) but were each isolated in different labs and therefore have

been labeled white 1 (w1) and white 2 (w2). You cross a pure-breeding w1 fly to a pure-breeding w2 fly and the progeny consists of only flies with wild-type (red) eyes.
a) How can this result be explained?

b) Write out the full genotypes of the parents with respect to the mutant alleles and the genotypes of the progeny.

Answer:

A) The eye colour may be controlled by one or more genes, mutation lies in two different genes and has complemented each other.

B) Parent 1: w1w1 w2+w2+ Parent 2:w1+ w1+w2w2

Gametes: w1 w2+ and w1+w2

Offspring genotype: w1 w2+ w1+ w2

Explanation:

This condition may be because of complementary genes. When the presence of two or more genes are required for a particular trait and the absent of one of the genes affects the character, it is referred to as complementary genes. In this condition the wild type of fly have AA/BB type of gene and expression of both gene is responsible for red coloured eyes.

a. Mutation in any of the genes, affect the accumulation of red pigment in eyes and cause the eyes to be white colored. Given that two mutants W1 and W2 have white eyes but both have mutation in different genes. Suppose W1 has mutation in AA gene(genotype aaBB )and mutant W2 has mutation in BB gene (genotype AAbb).

b. Crossing between mutants give red colour eyes fly:

Parents AAbb x aaBB

​Gametes Ab aB

​Progeny AaBb

That is,

Parent 1: w1w1 w2+w2+ Parent 2:w1+ w1+w2w2

Gametes: w1 w2+ and w1+w2

Offspring genotype: w1 w2+ w1+ w2

​Result: progeny of mutant have both type of functional alleles (A and B), responsible for red colour of eyes. Thus the progeny will be with red colour eyes.

Explain how tomatoes grown and typically prepared as a dish below??<br><br>need it noww!༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽つ​
grandymaker [24]
Tomatoes are commonly grown from seedlings started indoors that are later transplanted into the garden. Tomato seeds are commonly planted indoors as early as 8 to 6 weeks before the average date of the last spring frost. Tomato seedlings are usually transplanted into the garden 1 to 3 weeks after the last frost. Wash tomatoes under cool running water.

Slice an "X" on the bottom of each tomato with a small utility knife. In a large saucepan bring water to a rolling boil. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice cold water. With a large spoon, place tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds to loosen skin. Remove tomatoes after 30 seconds, place directly into cold water to stop the cooking process. Core the tomatoes by removing the stem with a paring knife. Peel away the skin, being careful not to injure the flesh of the tomatoes.
