In Drosophila, an autosomal gene determines the shape of the hair, with B giving straight and b giving bent hairs. On another au

tosome, there is a gene of which a dominant allele I inhibits hair formation so that the fly is hairless (i has no known phenotypic effect). a. If a straight-haired fly from a pure line is crossed with a fly from a pure-breeding hairless line known to be an inhibited bent genotype, what will the genotypes and phenotypes of the
F1

and the

F2

be? b. What cross would give the ratio 4 hairless : 3 straight : 1 bent?

Answer:

a.  F1 genotype : IiBb  F1 phenotype : Hairless

    F2 genotype and phenotype :

   I_B_ (hairless), iiB_ (straight), iibb (bent)

b. IiBb X iiBb

Explanation:

a. Fly 1 : pure breeding straight haired : iiBB

Fly 2 : pure breeding hairless with bent genotype : IIbb

Fly 1 X Fly 2 : iiBB X IIbb = IiBb (F1)

All the offspring will be hairless since there is one dominant I allele which will inhibit hair production regardless of the type of allele of other gene.

Two F1 flies will be crossed to obtain F2 flies. IiBb X IiBb :

I_B_ : hairless        = 9  

I_bb : hairless        = 3

iiB_  : straight hair = 3

iibb  : bent hair      = 1

Hairless : straight : bent will be in 12 : 3 : 1 ratio.

b. The offspring of this cross :

hairless : I_ _ _

straight : iiB_

bent      : iibb

There is a bent offspring which has both the recessive alleles of both the genes. Hence it must have obtained the two alleles from the two parents. So their genotype is _i_b and _i_b.

Half of the offspring are hairless as given by the ratio. This is only possible if the cross is between Ii and ii fly:

    I   i

i  Ii    ii

i  Ii    ii

So the genotype is Ii_b and ii_b.

The remaining hairy flies are in 3:1 ratio of straight to bent. This is only possible if the cross is between Bb and Bb fly:

    B    b

B  BB Bb

b  Bb  bb

So the final genotype of the flies is IiBb and iiBb.

In the central theory of gene expression, what is the process that uses mrna and amino acids to make proteins called?
ICE Princess25 [194]
The first process is called transcription where the DNA's information is used to make mRNA. The second process is called translation where the tRNA comes with an amino acid to drop off. A chain of amino acids will eventually be formed to create a protein. Transcription comes before translation. Think that you have to script something before you can translate it.

How does carbon dioxide affect the ecosystem
FrozenT [24]

As a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat, CO2 raises the temperature of the atmosphere. We refer to this as global warming. The glaciers will melt more quickly as the world's temperature rises, raising sea levels and bringing on disaster. More power is consumed for air conditioning as the temperature rises, which further raises the air's CO2 level.

Since coal is the primary fuel utilized in the creation of power. This creates a vicious cycle.
