The gene D controls wing shape in flies and has two alleles: D is wild-type and dominant, and d is recessive and causes flies to

have downward pointed wings. The gene E controls eye development and also has two alleles: E is wild-type and dominant, and e is recessive and causes the flies to have small eyes. The two genes are located on the same chromosome. A true-breeding fly with wild-type wings and small eyes was crossed with a true-breeding fly with downward wings and wild-type eyes. All of the F1 progeny had a wild-type phenotype. The recombination frequency between the two genes is 20%. If an F1 individual was test crossed to a ddee fly, what percentage of the progeny would you expect to have the WT phenotype?

Answer:

10% of progeny would have wild type phenotype

Explanation:

True breeding fly with wild type wings and small eyes: De/De

True breeding fly with downward wings and wild type eyes: dE/dE

Cross between them :  De/De X dE/dE = De/dE ( F1 )

Recombination frequency = 20%

Next cross, De/dE X de/de =

De/de = parental = 40%

dE/de = parental = 40%

DE/de = recombinant = 10%

de/de = recombinant = 10%

The third genotype i.e. one of the recombinant genotypes will have the wild type makeup ( DE/de ) hence 10% of flies would have wild type phenotype.

Contrast environmental science and ecology
Law Incorporation [45]
The differences between environmental science and ecology is:

environmental science is the study of how the environment interacts and operates while ecology is the study of the ecosystem, which is the relationship between the environment and living organism.

So the difference is that environmental science doesn't really emphasise relationship like ecology does.

Which blood type is considered the universal donor? Why can this blood type be given to all other blood types?
nalin [4]
O positive is the most common blood type and most likely to be transfused.
O negative donors are the “Universal Donor.” People with O negative blood are universal red blood cell donors. This means that their red blood cells can be transfused to any blood type.
