Eye pigment in a particular strain of fly is determined by two genes. An autosomal gene that controls the color of the pigments

in the eye has two alleles: a dominant allele ( R ) that results in red eyes and a recessive allele ( r ) that results in sepia eyes. A sex-linked gene that controls the expression of the colored pigments also has two alleles: a dominant allele ( T ) that allows for expression of the colored pigments and a recessive allele ( t ) that does not allow for expression of the colored pigments. Individuals without a T allele have white eyes regardless of the alleles of other eye-color genes.
Which of the following represents a cross between a white-eyed female and a red-eyed male?


TtXRXR×ttXrY
A

TtXrXr×ttXRY
B

RRXTXT×RrXTY
C

RrXtXt×RrXTY

RrXtXt×RrXTY is representing the cross between the white eyed female and red eyed male.

Option D

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The genes that are discussed here both are completely dominant over their recessive alleles. In the autosome, the dominant R gene is responsible for red eye and recessive r gene is responsible for sepia eye. But in allosome, the dominant T gene allows the eye colour to be expressed and the recessive t gene doesn't allow eye colour to be expressed and makes it white.

As the female do have 2 X chromosomes and the female is white eyed, then both the chromosomes of female have t gene.

As the male is red eyed and have one X chromosome, so the male must have atleast one R gene in autosome to make the eye colour red and must have T gene in his X chromosome to make it appear in phenotype.

So the most possible cross that is given here is RrXtXt×RrXTY.

Answer: Ribose nucleotides and the nitrogenous bases

Explanation: RNA consists of ribose nucleotides (nitrogenous bases appended to a ribose sugar) attached by phosphodiester bonds, forming strands of varying lengths. The nitrogenous bases in RNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil, which replaces thymine in DNA.

Character displacement differs from resource partitioning because character displacement  is directly linked to the evolution of genotypes that have allowed alternate resource use

<h3>What is genotypes ?</h3>

An organism's genotype is made up of all of its genetic components. The alleles or variations that an individual carries in a specific gene or genetic region are also referred to as the genotype. The number of copies of each chromosome found in that species, also known as ploidy, determines how many alleles a person can have for a certain gene.

In diploid organisms like humans, there are two complete sets of chromosomes, which means that each person has two alleles for each gene. Homozygous refers to a genotype when both alleles are the same. Heterozygous refers to a genotype when there are two distinct alleles.

Phenotype, the observable qualities and attributes of an individual or creature, is influenced by genotype.
