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.

Pls help<br> Where should new geothermal plants be built ideally?
adelina 88 [10]

The most active geothermal resources are usually found along major tectonic plate boundaries where most volcanoes are located. One of the most active geothermal areas in the world is called the Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean.

When magma comes near the earth's surface, it heats ground water trapped in porous rock or water running along fractured rock surfaces and faults. Hydrothermal features have two common ingredients: water (hydro) and heat (thermal).

Geologists use various methods to find geothermal reservoirs. Drilling a well and testing the temperature deep underground is the most reliable method for locating a geothermal reservoir.
