n Drosophila melanogaster, forked bristles are caused by an allele (Xf) that is X linked and recessive to an allele for normal b

ristles (X+). Brown eyes are caused by an allele (b) that is autosomal and recessive to an allele for red eyes (b+). A female fly that is homozygous for normal bristles and red eyes mates with a male fly that has forked bristles and brown eyes. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. What will the proportions of the F2 flies be (male with red eyes and forked bristles) from the cross?

Answer:

Proportion of the F2 male with red eyes and forked bristle will be 1/4

Explanation:

forked bristles are caused by an allele (Xf) that is X linked and recessive to an allele for normal bristles (X+).

Brown eyes are caused by an allele (b) that is autosomal and recessive to an allele for red eyes (b+)

A female fly that is homozygous for normal bristles and red eyes mates with a male fly that has forked bristles and brown eyes

    X+X+b+b+  x    Xfbb

the F1 gives   1/2X+Xf 1/2b+b

                      1/2X+Y  1/2b+b

intercross of F1

      Proportion of the F2 male with red eyes and forked bristle will be

      forked bristle= Xfy = 1/2 and for red eyes  2/4= 1/2  = 1/2x1/2 =1/4

inessss [21]

Regulation of amino acids

When amino acids are absorbed by liver cells a series of chemical reactions begins. ... The amine group is reduced to ammonia by the addition of a hydrogen atom. This process is called deamination. The non-nitrogenous portion of the molecule is converted to carbohydrates or fats.

Humans produce skin cells by mitosis and gametes by meiosis. The nuclei of skin cells produced by mitosis will have
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The nuclei of the skin cells produced by mitosis will have identical genetic material as that of the parent cell.

It is because mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, each having equal and identical chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

In addition, events like crossing over do not take place due to which no genetic variation is developed in the daughter cells.

The process of mitosis is mainly involved in the repair and growth of the body.

Cancer cells are anaplastic in that they "form backward" to an earlier de-differentiated state. the cells have nuclei that vary
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The cells have nuclei that vary in size and shape, termed pleomorphism.

Pleomorphism is usually defined in biology as the occurrence of multiple structural forms during the life cycle of an organism. In anaplasia, it represents multiple structural forms of nuclei. Pleomorphism is a characteristic feature found in malignant neoplasms, and dysplasia, but it can also be found in certain benign cell types.
