Answer:

The most likely genotypes of the parents is Ss and Ss. This would produce approximately three times the amount of small wings flies.

Explanation:

Small wings (s) is recessive to normal wings (S) in flies. Thus, small wings will be inherited in the recessive condition as ss and the normal wings can be inherited as SS or Ss.

A cross that will produce about three times the amount of the recessive allele which is the small wings is between

        two heterozygote flies

       Ss  x    Ss

    SS   Ss   Ss   ss

            3/4        1/4

The most likely genotypes of the parents is Ss and Ss. This would produce approximately three times the amount of small wings flies.

 3/4 of 34  will give an approximate of 26 and 1/4 of 34 will give an approximate of 8.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

fast- flowing areas usually contain more oxygen than slow-flowing ones.

Explanation:

looking at the statement that accurately compares fast-flowing and slow-flowing areas of stream and water, we need to understand how they flow. a stream flow downhill and it can also flow in a perfect channel, except when flooding occurs and water overflows its channel and spread out across the area of the land. so, fast-flowing generally have higher levels of dissolved oxygen more than slow-flowing because slow-flowing are aerated.
