In Drosophila, the bar mutant is characterized by eyes that are restricted to a narrow, vertical bar. When a bar female is mated

to a wildtype male, all the F1 flies are bar. However, when a bar male is mated to a wildtype female, 857 bar females and 905 wildtype males are observed.
a. What is the mode of inheritance of the bar mutant?
b. What is the genotype of each of the flies in the two crosses above? Include the parents and the F1 generations.

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

a) The mode of inheritance of the bar mutant is X-linked and dominant.

Assuming that barness is represented by the allele B.

Bar female = X^BX^B or X^BX^b

Wild type male = X^bY

Bar female x wild type male:

                 X^BX^B    x    X^bY

          X^BX^b   X^BY  X^BX^b    X^BY

All of the F1 flies are bar because a single B allele is required for the trait to be expressed.

Bar male x wildtype female

                            X^BY   x   X^bX^b

                 X^BX^b    X^BX^b   X^bY    X^bY

All the female offspring are barred while all the males are wildtype barred resulting in a 50/50 (857/905 is approximately 50/50) ratio of barred/wildtype offspring.

b) Genotypes of each of the cross above, including the parents and the F1 generations.

1.             X^BX^B    x    X^bY

          X^BX^b   X^BY  X^BX^b    X^BY

2.               X^BY   x   X^bX^b

           X^BX^b    X^BX^b   X^bY    X^bY

1. If there is not enough carbohydrate intake, how does the body form glucose?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

1.

  • Glycogenolysis(break down of glycogen to glucose molecules)
  • Gluconeogenesis(generation of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lipids)

2.

  • It can make glucose and then use that
  • Use lipids(some organs such as the brain can’t use lipids as their energy source and need glucose)

Hope this helps:))

Which part of photosynthesis is represented by the diagram to the right
Yanka [14]

Answer:

<em>Light-dependent reactions</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: light-dependent reactions and light independent-reactions. This last stage is often called Calvin cycle.

The diagram shows reactions occurred in the thylakoid membranes which are located inside the chloroplasts. Therefore, we can identify that these reactions are the light-dependent reactions. During this part of photosynthesis, the energy from the sunlight is absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyl (Chl). Then, it is sequentially coverted into chemical energy stored in the form of molecules: NADPH (nitotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
