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.

What are the possible genotypes of the parents of a male child who is colorblind?
viva [34]
Color Blindness is an X-linked trait. This explains why males are much more likely to have it than females. Offspring inherit Color Blindness from their mother, because the father only contributes the Y chromosome. A female can only have the disorder if her father has it and her mother either has it or is a carrier

One oak tree cell with 14 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many cells will result from this process,???
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Four (4) cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is the type of cell division in which four daughter cells that are genetically different is produced. The daughter cells are gametes that have undergone a reduction in their chromosome number (by half).

For example, one cell of an oak tree with 14 chromosomes is said to undergo meiosis. This means that, based on the explanation of meiosis above, the oak cell will give rise to four (4) daughter cells containing 7 chromosomes each.

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Water puts pressure depends on their amount.

Explanation:

On the left side, there is less quantity of water in the tube that put less pressure on the bag present at the bottom and the bag swells slightly while on the other hand, on the right side, there is more amount of water in the tube that puts large pressure on the bag located at the bottom and as a result it swells higher than the other bag so we can conclude that more water puts more pressure and less water puts less pressure.
