Assume that the genes for tan body and bare wings are 15 map units apart on chromosome II in Drosophila. If a tan-bodied, bare-w

inged female was mated to a wild type male and the resulting F1 phenotypically wild type females were mated to tan-bodied, bare- winged males. Of 1000 offspring, what would be the expected number of flies that are tan but have normal wings

Answer:

WILD TYPE= 425;

TAN-BARE= 425;

TAN= 75;

BARE= 75

Explanation:

Fifteen map units apart implies that 15% of the offspring are products of recombination.

Out of 1000 offsprings, therefore 15% of 1000= 0.15 × 1000=150

150 offsprings are products of recombination.

100-15 =85%

Therefore, 85% of the offspring are parental.

So, if tan-bodied, ware-winged female was mated with wild-type male resulting in F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to tan-bodied, bare-winged males.

The expected number of offsprings that are tanned but have normal wings would be:

Wild type= 50% of 850

0.50 × 850 = 425

Tan-bare= 50% of 850

0.50 × 850 = 425

tan= 50% of 150

0.50×150= 75

Bare= 50% of 150

0.50×150=75

Some frogs have evolved to fertilize the eggs on land and carry the tadpoles with them. What is the main advantage of this syste
Triss [41]

Answer: b. They can live away from water

Explanation:

The frogs are the amphibian organisms, which are capable of survival both in water as well as land. In frogs external fertilization is used as a mode of sexual reproduction. The females lay their eggs in water in the same time the males also secrete their sperms in the water. The eggs are fertilized by the sperms in water. For reproduction the frogs are dependent on water. But with the evolution of frogs, which allows them to fertilize the eggs on the land. The frogs can live away from water.

Do predators really kill only the old and sick prey? What evidence is there for this statement
Georgia [21]
No, but it is known that old/sick prey is much easier to catch. The evidence is that, say, there's no old and sick prey. The predator has to eat regardless, and whatever is there for it to take, it will. Think of a lion and a zebra, and the zebra is eating grass in the middle of a field. The lion is going to take that chance.

Endothermic change

Explanation:

Enthalpy changes are heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. There are two types of enthalpy changes: Endothermic change and exothermic change.

In an endothermic change, heat is absorbed from the surround and hence the surrounding becomes colder at the end of the change.

A change that leaves the reaction colder is an endothermic change.

How does temperature change with elevation and latitude
UNO [17]
When altitude increases, air temperature decreases because when there is an increase in altitude, there is a decrease in air pressure. When air pressure decreases, air cools down. Latitude affects temperature because the closer you are to the equator, the more intense the sun will be.
