While doing field work in Madagascar, you discover a new dragonfly species that has either red(R) or clear(r) wings. Initial cro

sses indicate that R is dominant to r. You perform three crosses using three different sets of redwinged parents with unknown genotype and observe the following data:
cross Phenotype
1 72 red-winged,24 clear-winged
2 54 red-wing,49 clear-wing
3 96 red-winged

What is the most likely genotype for each pair of parents in the three crosses?

Answer: 1. The genotypes of parent that produced 72 red-winged,24 clear-winged are Rr and Rr.

2. The genotypes of parent that produced 54 red-wing,49 clear-wing are Rr and rr.

3. The genotypes of parent that produced 96 red-winged can either be RR and RR or RR and Rr.

Explanation: To get parent's genotypes from offspring's phenotypes, find the phenotypic ratio among the offsprings produced. That will give insight on the allele combination of the parent.

In the case where 72 red-winged,24 clear-winged were produced, the ratio will be 72:24. Dividing the ratio to the lowest term, we will get 3:1. This implies that the ratio of dominant to recessive alleles in the offspring genotypes is 3:1. Only heterozygous crossing can produce the ratio. We can then assign the parent's genotypes as Rr and Rr.

In the case where 54 red-wing,49 clear-wing were the offspring produced, the ratio will be 54:49. Dividing it to the lowest term, we will get approximately 1:1. This implies that the ratio between dominant and recessive allele is 1:1. A test cross will produce this ratio. We can then assign the parent's genotypes as Rr and rr.

In the cross that produced only 96 red-winged flies, the parent's genotypes can either be RR and Rr or RR and RR.

4. Describe the cell cycle and cell division and explain their importance to an organism.
Marianna [84]
<span>The main reasons why cell division is important in organisms are reproduction, repair and growth. Cell division is necessary in order for life to continue.
</span><span>
The length of the cell cycle is important because it determines how quickly an organism can multiply. For single-celled organisms, this rate determines how quickly the organism can reproduce new, independent organisms. </span><span>Most of the differences in cell cycle duration between species and cells are found in the duration of specific cell cycle phases. DNA replication, for example, generally proceeds faster the simpler the organisms. One reason for this trend is simply that prokaryotic have smaller genomes and not as much DNA to be replicated.</span>

The nurse considers that a 70-year-old female client can best limit further progression of osteoporosis by doing what?
Alenkinab [10]
The nurse considers that a 70-year-old female client can best limit further progression of osteoporosis by taking supplement which contains vitamin D and calcium. Osteoporosis is a bone condition where one develops a fragile bone that is very susceptible to fracture. Causes for this condition can be genetics, lack of physical activity, insufficient amount vitamin D and calcium in the body, smoking and many other. This condition does not have any symptoms with it until fractures in the bones happen. One way to prevent or decrease the chances of developing it to serious cases is to supply your body the right nutrients and vitamins.
