<span>In Drosophila + indicates wild-type allele for any gene, m is mahogany and e is ebony.
Female parents are m+/m+ and males are +e/+e.
F1 are m+/+e, all wild type. F1 females are crossed with me/me males - the test cross.
Offspring will be : non recombinant m+/me, mahogany wild type or +e/me wild type ebony. OR
recombinant me/me mahogany ebony or ++/++ wild type.
As the two genes are 25 map units apart, the percentage of recombinants will be 25% and therefore percentage parental types will be 75%.
75% 1000 is 750. There are two parental types, so you would expect 375 of each. Therefore, you would expect 375 m+/me and 375 +e/me.
25% of 1000 is 250 split between two recombinants =125 of each. Therefore you would expect 135 me/me and 125 ++/++</span>
The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly, and repair. In other words, they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.
Due to lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able to satisfy the central dogma which summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.
DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, then translating or decoding this information, which results in the making of protein.
Answer:
Is the sporophyte more prominent in mosses or liverworts? Are mosses gametophyte or sporophyte dominant? What is the adaptive significance of the seta of the sporophyte growing well above the mat of the gametophyte ? Better dispersal of spores
Explanation:
Answer:
a. maple leaf and oak leaf
Explanation:
Homologous structures are those that have the same evolutionary origin but fulfill very different functions, a good example could be the wing of a bird and the wing of an insect, the wings of birds, are modified front members and the wings of insects are "BRANCHES" modified
In the case of maple and oak leaves they are homologous structures because they have a common ancestor according to their genetic decoding, that is, even if they can look different or behave differently, they are genetically homologous structures.
<em>B. Has the same allele on both chromosomes in a chromosome pair. </em>
<u>Here is why:</u>
Homozygous means the same, while heterozygous means different. If both of the same alleles are on both chromosomes, then it will be a homozygous.
There can be two types of homozygous alleles.
~
<em>Homozygous Dominant</em>: BB
<em>Homozygous Recessive</em>: bb
<u>Notice in both of these they were the same alleles.</u>
~
<em>Heterozygous</em>: Bb
<u>Notice how both are different alleles.</u>

Below I have attached a diagram of a Punnett square I have made.
On the left is a homozygous recessive allele pair.
On the top is a heterozygous allele pair.
