In fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) there is a dominant allele for red eyes and a recessive allele for white eyes. These al

leles are located on the X chromosome. If a heterozygous red-eyed female is mated with a white-eyed male, what percentage of the offspring are expected to be white-eyed females?

Answer:

50% of the offspring female population are expected to be white eyed females

Explanation:

Since the allele can only be found on the X chromosome, the chances of the offspring developing white eyes, would mostly occur in the females; since the heterozygous female would mate with a white eyed male.

This results to the following below

R- red eyes

w- white eyes

Female - R w            X             Male- w w

Offspring alleles F1-   R w   R w   w w   w w

Therefore, from the cross, we can conclude that the percentage possibility of white eyed females is... 50%.

10. Which of the following statements best describes the major difference between anaphase of mitosis and anaphase I of meiosis?
umka2103 [35]
The answer will be A because mitosis usually separate the sister chromatids to sister chromosomes to form two diploid cells. In meiosis, the goal is to have four haploid cells. To form that, cells need to undergo cell division two times. In the case of meiosis I, sister chromatids stay joined together until it reaches meiosis II. Then, the sister chromatids will separate starting at anaphase II in meiosis II. For example, if you start with 92 chromosomes (46 chromatids) during meiosis I, at meiosis II you will have two cells with 46 chromosomes (23 chromatids). By the end of meiosis II, you should form 4 haploid cells that contains 23 chromosomes.

Along with the spin of earth what causes it magnetic field??
IRINA_888 [86]

It was believed that the magnetic field to be generated deep down in the Earth's core. But the truth is the flow of liquid iron generates electric currents, which produces magnetic fields.

But the truth is no one really knows for certain so the only thing we know is that the spin of the earth is the cause of its magnetic field

Hope this helped :)

Have a great day
