Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Homeostasis refers to the tendency for the human body to attempt to maintain a certain state even during changes in environment, activity, intake, etc. Options A, B, and D all refer to instances where the body departs from its usual state. While the scenario in Option C does describe a change in environment, it also describes the reaction of the body that brings its internal systems back to a certain state of fluid level.

Assume that the genes for tan body and bare wings are 15 map units apart on chromosome II in Drosophila. If a tan-bodied, bare-w
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

WILD TYPE= 425;

TAN-BARE= 425;

TAN= 75;

BARE= 75

Explanation:

Fifteen map units apart implies that 15% of the offspring are products of recombination.

Out of 1000 offsprings, therefore 15% of 1000= 0.15 × 1000=150

150 offsprings are products of recombination.

100-15 =85%

Therefore, 85% of the offspring are parental.

So, if tan-bodied, ware-winged female was mated with wild-type male resulting in F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to tan-bodied, bare-winged males.

The expected number of offsprings that are tanned but have normal wings would be:

Wild type= 50% of 850

0.50 × 850 = 425

Tan-bare= 50% of 850

0.50 × 850 = 425

tan= 50% of 150

0.50×150= 75

Bare= 50% of 150

0.50×150=75
