In some species of Drosophila, there are genes on the Y chromosome that are not on the X chromosome. Imagine that a new allele a

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Drosophila like the mammals possess X and Y chromosomes but as in males in which the XX is female and XY is male, the sex In Drosophila is not determined by the presence of Y chromosomes as a male determining factor are present on the autosomes.

However, the Y chromosome is important for males as they are involved in the formation of the sperms therefore the presence of Y is important. In the given question if the allele is present ion the Y chromosome which can reduce the size therefore the allele is passed on to the males only ans no females.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

the fly is female (Bridges 1921, 1925). Thus, XO Drosophila are sterile males. In flies, the Y chromosome is not involved in determining sex. Rather, it contains genes active in forming sperm in adults.

Punnett square question? 80 PTS FOR BEST ANSWER!

Answer:

Explanation:

For number 4, it tells you that purple body color is dominant to blue.

When an allele is dominant over another allele (alleles are different forms of genes, represented using letters) that means only one dominant allele needs to be present to express the dominant phenotype (phenotype is the physical appearance determined by genotype). Since purple is dominant, we use a capital "P" to represent it. Since blue is not dominant, it is called recessive, so we use a lower-case "p" to represent it.

The first genotype they give you, it is "PP", and since at least one big P is there, the phenotype is purple.

The second genotype they give you is "Pp", and since there is at least one capital P, the phenotype is also purple. It does not matter that the second allele is a lower-case, because as long as there is a capital P present, it will masks the presence of the lower-case (recessive) allele.

The third genotype is "pp", both are lower-case, so there is not dominant allele to mask the recessive ones. So, the phenotype is blue. The recessive phenotype will only be phenotypically present if the genotype is homozygous recessive.

Homozygous - having both of the same alleles (PP or pp)

In which PP is known as homozygous dominant, because it is made from the dominant allele. And pp is known as homozygous recessive, because it is made from the recessive allele.

Heterozygous - having one dominant and one recessive allele (Pp)

Note: It does that really matter what letter you use, the importance is whether it is a capital or not because that tells you if it is dominant or recessive.

The same for square shape. It says that square is dominant over round, so a capital letter is used to represent square (S), and a lower-case to represent round (s).

Therefore, the phenotype would be:

Square, Square, round, respectively.

Number 5 is asking you to go from the phenotype (physical look) to the genotype.

Tall head is (T) and dominant to short (t).

Tall = could be PP or Pp (homozygous dominant or heterozygous). It could be both since in both genotypes at least one dominant allele is present, so it will result in a dominant phenotype.

Short = tt. It is "tt" because it is recessive, and the only way to physically show the recessive phenotype is to have a homozygous recessive genotype.

Green is dominant over blue, so again.

Green body - the genotypes could be GG or Gg. At long as there is one capital (dominant) allele.

Yellow body - gg (it is recessive, so it cannot have a capital "G", or that would masks the recessive g).

Hope this helps.

On which of the following surfaces of permanent teeth is pit and fissure caries MOST likely to occur? A. Facial surfaces of maxi
aksik [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A pit is a tiny depression which is found on the surface of the tooth.

Fissures are the grooves that occur naturally on the biting surfaces of teeth.

Thus, pits and fissures are located on the lingual surfaces of the maximillary first molars because of the lingual fissures on the max molars.
