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.

What makes living things and non-living things successful in their attempts to take flight?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Any living or non-living thing trying to take flight will have two forces working against them: gravity and drag. Gravity is the force that the Earth exerts on all things pulling them back towards its centre. ... Birds also have two forces that help them in their attempts to take flight.

Shallow groove on the surface of the cortex is called a
nignag [31]

Shallow groove on the surface of the cortex is called sulcus.

Cortex means the outer layer of an inner organ. The outer layer of the cerebrum is called cerebral cortex, where cerebrum occupies the biggest part of the brain. A human being has four lobes of the cerebral cortex which include temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and frontal lobe.

Cortex has six layers of different types of neurons which are responsible for higher information processing and thinking. Cerebral cortex controls general movement, behavioural reactions, perception and visceral functions. We term the grooved layer as the brain itself.Cerebral cortex consists of large amounts of sulci and gyri(sulcus and gyri in singular). The number of gyri correlates to the processing ability of the animal.A man has big gyri compared to a rat.

Explain why protecting surviving rainforests from deforestation is important to fighting cancer.
Rufina [12.5K]
<span>Some 120 prescription drugs sold worldwide today are derived directly from rainforest plants. And according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, more than two-thirds of all medicines found to have cancer-fighting properties come from rainforest plants. Examples abound. Ingredients obtained and synthesized from a now-extinct periwinkle plant found only in Madagascar (until deforestation wiped it out) have increased the chances of survival for children with leukemia from 20 percent to 80 percent.</span>

Describe how stem cells have the potential to treat sick people. ( in scientific words please).
Assoli18 [71]

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to differentiate into any kind of body cells like muscle, skin, heart etc.

There is alot of research being conducted on the stem cells because they have the potential to treat almost any kind of disease. This is because they are embryonic cells that can be specialized into a person's any type of body cells. When stem cells are specialized into the any kind of body's cells like cardiac, muscular, they can repair all the damaged cells and replace them with the new and healthy cells.

Currently, they are being used to repair:

  • Nerve cells that are damaged due to some injuries like stroke, spinal injury,  Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer's and other such neurological disorders.
  • They can repair insulin producing cells so millions of people can be treated against diabetes and other problems that arise due to diabetes like kidney and cardiac issues.
  • They have the ability to repair almost any kind of injured tissue.
  • They can provide clues of muscle re-pairment like how organs are repaired after an injury, trauma or problem like heart attack.
  • Stems cells can be used to make new drugs and minimize the side effect of the drugs.
  • This is a fascinating area of science that has the potential to repair any damaged organ of human without getting it replaced by a new one.

Hope it help!
