Sperm tails in the fruit fly Drosophila bifurca can reach up to 6cm long, which is over 20 times the length of the organism itse

lf. Because the tails are so long, they aren’t able to provide the swimming force that other sperm tails are used for. Please provide a hypothesis as to why the fruit fly sperm has evolved to be so long.?

Explanation:

The length of the sperm in a few species is much larger or giant than the size of the animal-like observed in the <em>Drosophila bifurca. </em>

In this fruit-fly, the tails of the sperm are too long which could be accounted for many reasons:

1. The sexual selection prefers the long tails over the small tail.

2. The large sperms can displace the small sperms in the female reproductive organ.

3. The female reproductive organ increases the promiscuity of the large sperms that is favour the large sperms over the small sperms.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an important model organism in the field of genetics. One of the first mutant genes to be studied in
BigorU [14]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>Let the wild type trait, the silver-white, be represented by </em><em>A</em><em> allele and the mutant trait, the golden color, be represented by </em><em>a</em><em> allele.</em>

Heterozygous wild-type male fish would be Aa

Golden female fish would be aa

     Aa    x    aa

  Aa   Aa    aa    aa

2/4 Aa = silver-white

2/4 aa = golden color

<em>Hence, the percent likelihood of golden offspring is </em><em>2/4 or 50%.</em>

The correct option is b.

Temperature phages
Komok [63]

Answera. use site specific recombination to incorporate their genome into the host genome for prophage replication until the host's growth is threatened.

Explanation:

A temperate phage is a bacteriophage which incorporate it's genome inside the host organism. It replicates it's own genome within the host cell. It basically uses the site specific recombination so as to incorporate the genome within the host cell.

Why would a diverse community be more resistant to disease, predation, and invasion
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer and explanation;

-A diverse community would be more resistant to disease, predation, and invasion because it would be a bigger diversity of genes, which means that the chance of disease would be more likely to spread in a different area than in a diverse population.

-Diversity is expected to increase the resilience of ecosystems. A diverse community would be more resistant to disease because of simple biology. The more sources for possible resistance the better the heterogeneous pool will be at resisting disease.

-High diversity strengthens a community and prevents invasion of the introduced predator. After a gradual loss of native species, the introduced predator can escape control and the system collapses into a contrasting, invaded, low-diversity state.

How many different codons can code for the amino acid tryptophan (Trp)?
Minchanka [31]
The chart very nicely lays out the amino acid each codon corresponds to. You're looking for "trp" in the chart, which only appears once, beside the UGG codon. Therefore, only one codon codes for tryptophan.
