Conservationists occasionally light forests on fire to control wild fires. By occasionally burning material (like leaves, branches, etc), those materials cannot build up and cause large and uncontrollable fires later.
If the trait is sex-linked (on the X or Y chromosome) or autosomal (on a chromosome that does not determine sex).
If the trait is inherited in a dominant or recessive fashion.
Answer:
B. cv+cv w+w
Explanation:
Fruit flies have a special nomenclature to write the genotype of individuals.
- If the mutation is recessive, you have to write it with lowercase letter(s).
- If the mutation is dominant, you have to write it with capital letter(s).
- Wild-type alleles are indicated with a superscript plus (+).
In this problem, both crossveinless (cv) and white (w) mutations are recessive.
<u>For that reason, a heterozygous individual's genotype for both genes will be written as:</u>
<h2>
cv⁺ cv w⁺ w</h2>
