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

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.

There are varying levels of light in the ocean. Research and describe any one adaptation that helps ocean organisms to stay near
Fantom [35]

Answer:

sunlight entering the water may travel about 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) into the ocean under the right conditions, but there is rarely any significant light beyond 200 meters (656 feet). The ocean is divided into three zones based on depth and light level. The upper 200 meters (656 feet) of the ocean is called the euphotic, or "sunlight," zone.

Explanation:

hope this helps

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in which a particular gene does not make protein the way that it otherwise normally would.
Nadya [2.5K]
The answer is A because genetic means it comes from your genes/parents genes so you know it’s either A or B because they both state something about your parents passing it to you. But you know it can’t be B because chloroplasts are only in plants and A says chromosomes which are in humans and relate to genes so we know it must be A.
