The specification of the anterior-posterior axis in Drosophila embryos is initially controlled by various gene products that are

synthesized and stored in the mature egg following oogenesis. Mutations in these genes result in abnormalities of the axis during embryogenesis. These mutations illustrate maternal effect. What are the expected outcomes of parallel crosses involiving mutant gnes that contrast maternal effect and organelle heredity?

Answer:

It is possible to determine their functions and to identify the mechanism involved in their mode of inheritance  

Explanation:

Matrilineal inheritance refers to the inheritance of genes directly from the mother, it either through the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA or by the epigenetic mechanism of genomic imprinting (in the case above indicated, maternal imprinting). By mutating genes which are inherited from the mother it is possible to study their functions as well as their mode of inheritance. By using a reverse genetics approach, many maternal imprinted genes have recently been identified to be involved in embryo development, especially in model organisms like <em>Drosophila</em>.

Which best describes how an organism’s niche is determined?
dusya [7]

The correct answer is that it is an organism's habitat and inherited traits that determine its niche.

The principle of competitive exclusion states that the two species cannot hold the similar niche in the same habitat. A niche of an organism is predicted by its habitat that is its physical surrounding. The inherited traits and adaptation enhances the organism's chances of survival, and it also predicts a niche of an organism.

If there was a fungicide that killed all fungi, make a prediction on how it would affect the economy and eventually is humans
Lady bird [3.3K]
Hello!

Fungi are natural decomposers in ecosystems. They break down waste and dead organisms, and return the nutrients back into the ecosystem so more plants can receive nutrients, animals can eat those plants, and so on and so forth.

If all the fungi died out, things that decompose it will remain, and the nutrients will not return to the ecosystem. This will cause the plants to receive less nutrients, along with the animals, and as the cycle continues plants will not have enough nutrients to become a sustainable food source. If this happened, the herbivores would not have food and die out. The creatures that eat the herbivores would not have their food either. Eventually us humans will not have good food sources due to lack of nutrients.

In terms of the economy, many animals are sold in the stock market or sent to stores for humans to buy. If there was a large decrease in cattle, for example, the cattle stock would disappear and all the shares in that stock would be lost. This would make a lot of problems, and as the stock market is very complicated and large scale it  would be an absolute disaster if an entire stock disappeared. It also wouldn't be JUST cattle. Wheat, corn, and crop stocks would be lost too. Other animal or livestock stocks would be lost as well. This could eventually cause the stock market to crash in a way, which would lead to the Great Depression. Just because of fungicide.

It's not like you would put down some fungicide and the stock market would crash a month later. It would be a very slow and gradual thing, which is good so we can keep things like that from happening right now!

Hope this helped!
