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

If there is a high concentration of reducing sugar, Benedict’s solution will turn _______. A. Green B. Orange C. Red D. Blue
geniusboy [140]

Answer: In lab, we used Benedict's reagent to test for one particular reducing sugar: glucose. Benedict's reagent starts out aqua-blue. As it is heated in the presence of reducing sugars, it turns yellow to orange. The "hotter" the final color of the reagent, the higher the concentration of reducing sugar.

With statement best describes the anther in a flowering plant? A. It is the colored part of the flower that attracts pollinaters
asambeis [7]

Answer: C. It is the part of the stamen that contains the pollen

Explanation:

Anthers are the pollen containing units in a flower that can be found in the stamens of such flowers. It should be noted that typically, anthers consist of two parts which are referred to as the thecae and each one of the theca is made up of two microsporangia.

Therefore, from the explanation above, we can infer that the another is the part of the stamen that contains the pollen.
