No, because two creatures with similar niches can evolve similar traits and appearances despite not having a common ancestor.
Earth’s axis passes through the North and South Poles. It takes Earth 24 hours to rotate once around its axis. Earth revolves once around the Sun in 365 days during a non-leap year.
Answer:
The correct answers are:
1 a. X^RX^r - red eye color female
b. X^RX^R - red eye color female
c. X^RY - red eye color male
d. X^rY - white eye color male
e. X^rX^r - white eye color female
(2nd part can also be answered by above)
Explanation:
It is given that the eye color is a sex-linked character where Red eye color is dominant over white eye color in fruit flies. Sex-linked characters are the character that is a similar inheritance pattern except in the case of the male as there is a Y chromosome that does not carry the gene for the eye color trait so the trait will depend on the allele present on a single X chromosome in males.
On the basis of this, the sex and color of eyes will be:
a. X^RX^r - red eye color female - Dominant character will mask the recessive white color and two copies of X which means female.
b. X^RX^R - red eye color female - both copies are dominant so red-eye color will be expressed and two copies of the X chromosome that means female
c. X^RY - red eye color male - One X and one Y chromosome that means male and only dominant allele present so red eye color.
d. X^rY - white eye color male - Only allele that is present is recessive with one Y chromosome that means male with white eye color.
e. X^rX^r - white eye color female - two X chromosomes with recessive allele which means white eye color female.
