Answer:
Proportion of the F2 male with red eyes and forked bristle will be 1/4
Explanation:
forked bristles are caused by an allele (Xf) that is X linked and recessive to an allele for normal bristles (X+).
Brown eyes are caused by an allele (b) that is autosomal and recessive to an allele for red eyes (b+)
A female fly that is homozygous for normal bristles and red eyes mates with a male fly that has forked bristles and brown eyes
X+X+b+b+ x Xfbb
the F1 gives 1/2X+Xf 1/2b+b
1/2X+Y 1/2b+b
intercross of F1
Proportion of the F2 male with red eyes and forked bristle will be
forked bristle= Xfy = 1/2 and for red eyes 2/4= 1/2 = 1/2x1/2 =1/4
Possible contaminate will be Proteus or Salmonella. To differentiate the two genera urease test can be accomplished. However, urease test, Proteus will produce a positive test result.
This test can be done to determine the ability of an organism to split urea. The principle of urease test is that urea is the product of decarboxylation of amino acid. Splitting of urea via hydrolysis will produce ammnonia and CO2. The CO2 produce allows the formation of bubbles.
A, B, and C are all forms of asexual reproduction.
