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.

Which phrase defines a law?
Orlov [11]

Question: Which phrase defines a law?

A. a possible explanation or answer to a scientific question that is based on prior knowledge or research and is testable

B.  A statement of fact that is generally accepted to be true and universal because it has always been observed to be true.

C. a hypothesis or group of related hypotheses that can be accepted as true based on repeated experimentation with similar results

Answer:

Correct answer: B). A statement of fact that is generally accepted to be true and universal because it has always been observed to be true.

Explanation:

A scientific law may be defined as the something that appears to be true and is universally applicable. Scientific laws do not explain why the observed events happen, but it only states that the event occurs in the same way over and over. Example of scientific law is a law of gravity. Gravity is always there and it always works in the same manner. Other examples include newton's law of motion, which states how the things move.

The practice by which athletes abuse commercial erythropoietin by injecting it to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the b
Sphinxa [80]
The term Doping is essentially what athletes on Erythropoietin or EPO commonly known as use. It increases the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Erythropoietin is usually produced by the kidneys when oxygen in the blood gets to low levels.


The prime regulator of red cell production is erythropoietin and its major functions are to:

- Promote the development of red blood cells.

- Initiate the synthesis of hemoglobin, the molecule within red blood cells that transports oxygen.

Hope this helps you out.
