Answer:

Genus is Staphylococcus and specie is aureus i.e Staphylococcus aureus

Explanation:

Oropharynx:

Oropharynx also known as throat. It includes the tongue from its base region, the tonsils, the pharynx walls and the soft palate.

Oropharyngeal microbiota:

Microbiota are communities of microorganisms which may be symbiotic, commensal  and pathogenic  The oropharyngeal microbiota contains many microorganisms as it is known to be the major reservoir of infection.

Coagulase test:

This test is the laboratory procedure used for detection of Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus produces coagulase enzyme which catalyses the conversion of soluble fibrinogen in plasma to insoluble fibrin.

A strain of Drosophila known as dunce produces one-half the amount of cAMP phosphodiesterase found in wild-type flies, which cau
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

From the given observations we can say that there are 2 genes that are responsible for normal learning. It is also given that the dunce and rutabaga mutations are the mutations of 2 different genes.

Due to complementation which is a phenomenon of restoration of normal phenotype if mutants are crossed, it is found that the flies have normal learning behavior if both mutants are crossed.

Let's assume that the Drosophila having this learning effect and it is due to genes D and R where D is the normal gene and dd is the case of mutation that results in duncy phenotype. Similarly, Gene R is responsible for normal learning, and rr results in rutabaga phenotype.

Cross between ddRR (duncy) x DDrr (rutabaga)

Gametes - dR x Dr

F1 progeny - DdRr    

Thus, in heterozygous cases, a single copy of both wild-type alleles D and R complement each other.
