A pure-breeding fruit fly with curled wings mates with a pure-breeding fruit fly with normal (straight) wings. The F1 mate with

each other to produce an F2 generation that consists of 160 flies with curled wings and 80 with straight wings. What can you infer from this observation?

Answer:

The dominant curled wing allele is also a recessive lethal.

Explanation:

If we look at the F2 ratio we see that :  

curled wings: straight wings= 160:80

                                               =2:1

Hence,  if curled wings is considered to be a dominant trait then Curled wings * straight wings

Dd x dd

Punnet square will be as follows :

           d                    d

D   |    Dd   |        Dd

d    |    Dd   |        dd

Hence in order to get F2

Dd x dd

Punnet square will be the same as above if the F1 cross is Dd* Dd

        D    d

D DD Dd

d Dd dd

if DD is lethal then the ratio is

Dd:dd=2:1

that is curled wings: straight wings=2:1

Hence, The dominant curled wing allele is also a recessive lethal.

Which population would be the most likely to survive a disturbance in their ecosystem?
yulyashka [42]

Population with high genetic diversity would be the most likely to survive a disturbance in their ecosystem

  • Genetic diversity refers to the range of different inherited traits within a species. In a species with high inheritable diversity, there would be numerous individualities with a wide variety of different traits. inheritable diversity is critical for a population to acclimatize to changing environments.
  • Ecosystem diversity addresses the concerted characteristics of biotic parcels( biodiversity) and abiotic parcels( geodiversity). Ecological diversity includes the variation in both terrestrial and submarine ecosystems. An illustration of ecological diversity on a global scale would be the variation in ecosystems, similar as comeuppance, timbers, campaigns, washes and abysses. Ecological diversity is the largest scale of biodiversity, and within each ecosystem, there's a great deal of both species and genetic diversity
