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.

Is the following statement true or false? Explain your
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made of the lipids and proteins with the attached moieties of carbohydrates. The plasma membrane is the selectively permeable membrane that allows the diffusion of some selected particles only.

The transport along the cell membrane depends on the size and the hydrophobicity of the molecule. The size of oxygen is although higher than magnesium but to its highly hydrophobic nature it can easily pass through the plasma membrane as compared with the magnesium. The oxygen diffuses out faster than magnesium.

Thus, the answer is false.

Adaptations of plants in different climatic conditions in Telangana
BabaBlast [244]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, Telangana is known to be an area whose climate is usually semi-arid, that is, it is an area that is dry and receives some small amount of rain.

Thus, plants in the Telangana region would usually possess  the following adaptive features;

  • ability to survive under extreme heat
  • growing longer roots than normal in other to find water in the soil
  • efficient water conservation especially in their stems.
