You are studying two traits in fruit flies: wing shape and eye color. Wings can be either bent or straight. Eyes can be either r

ed or yellow. Straight-winged, yellow-eyed female X bent-winged, red-eyed male gave: 41 bent yellow males 38 bent red females 38 straight yellow males 43 straight red females an F1 bent-winged, red-eyed female X an F1 bent-winged, yellow-eyed male gave: 31 bent red females 10 straight red females 28 bent yellow females 11 straight yellow females 32 bent red males 9 straight red males 29 bent yellow males 10 straight yellow males Explain these results and give the genotypes of the parents in each of the crosses.

Answer:

From the observation, It can be seen that the bent-winged genotype is dominant, while the straight-winged genotype is recessive. Also, for the eye colour, the traits are found on only the X chromosome. This causes the males to inherit their eye colour from their mother, since females are the source of the single X chromosomes in males (XY- male). However, the females inherit their eye colour from their father's X-chromosome. Thus, it can be determined that the eye colour, in this instance, has a cross gender mode of inheritance due to its placement on the X-chromosome.  

Parent phenotype

Take: Bent-wing (B), Straight wing (s), Red eye (R) Yellow eye (Y)

Prime generation parent

Female (Straight-wing, Yellow eye)- s s   Y   (ss- homozygous recessive trait)

Male (Bent-wing, Red eye)- B s   R         (Bs- Heterozygous dominant trait)

1st generation Parent (F1)

Female (Bent-wing, Red eye)- B s     R

Male (Bent-wing, Yellow eye)- B s     Y

Sensory input from the skin of the foot reaches the cerebral cortex via a third order neuron that originates in the:____________
larisa [96]

Answer:

Central posterolateral thalamus.

Explanation:

The third order neuron originates from Central posterolateral nuclei thalamus because it is the nucleus of thalamus because it receive impulses from the neospinothalamic tract and the medial lemniscus of the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway i.e it received sensory information from the body, send it to the brain and then transfer the information to brodman.

Provide explanations of genotypes and phenotypes.
Korvikt [17]
The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism, while the Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is observable and are the expression of the genes of an individual. So even the organism with the same species may differ, with a minute difference in their genotype. This is the main difference between the two.

We can notice one’s hair colour, eye colour, height, weight, skin colour, etc. but cannot look at genes responsible for these characters, so the observable physical look is the phenotype while the unnoticed genes responsible for such characters present in the DNA of cell of the individual is genotype.

To explain the above lines, here is the simple example of a pure red colour flowering plant (RR) is crossed with the white colour flowering plant (rr). The result of the Genotype of the F1 generation will be – Rr (Hybrid red colour), and the Phenotype of the F1 generation will be the – Red colour flowering plant.

Genotype and phenotype are the two very closely related and similar-sounding words, but their meaning is different. Our earth has a dynamic variety of organisms, present in soil, water and on land. But as the genome of each organism is different, and so there phenotypes also whether it’s their colour, height, weight or other morphological features.

A normal chromosome and its homolog carrying an inversion are given. the dot (•) represents the centromere. normal: a b c • d e
kotegsom [21]

The type of inversion is Paracentric inversion.

There are two types of inversion at the chromosome level, depending on the centromere:

Paracentric inversions:

the centromere is not included in the inversion.

Pericentric inversions:

The centromere is included in the inversion which can transform a metacentric chromosome into an acrocentric chromosome.

the structure that will form during synapsis is inversion loop.

These inversions are balanced rearrangements but at the moment of meiosis they cause difficulties in pairing. There is most often formation of a pairing loop. The occurrence of recombination in the inverted segment causes the formation of abnormal gametes by duplication / impairment.
