Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) with a wild-type phenotype have gray bodies and red eyes. Certain mutations can cause chan

ges to these traits. Mutant flies may have a black body and/or cinnabar eyes. To study the genetics of these traits, a researcher crossed a truebreeding wild-typed male fly with a true-breeding female fly with a black body and cinnabar eyes. All of the F1 progeny displayed a wild type phenotype. Which of the following is correct about the traits observed?a. Gray body and cinnabar eyes are dominant.b. Eye color is sex-linked.c. Body color is sex-linked.d. Gray body and red eyes are dominant.

Answer:

d

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>gray body and red eyes are dominant.</u>

The wild type trait  is represented by gray bodies and red eyes while the mutant trait  is represented by black body and/or cinnabar eyes. A cross between the wild type and the mutant only yield F1 offspring with wild type phenotype. This, thus, means that the wild type trait is dominant while the mutant trait is recessive.

<em>Since the wild type trait is depicted by gray body and red eyes, it means that the gray body and red eyes traits are dominant while the black body and cinnabar eyes are recessive.</em>

The correct option is d.

Answer: C. Preying

Explanation:

A non-native species is the species which is introduced to a new ecosystem. This species is introduced intentionally or accidentally to a new ecosystem by human beings or they may enter to the ecosystem by their own.

A non-native species can be invasive which means it can compete with the native species for resources like shelter, food and mates.

According to the given situation, the Gila trouts being the native species has been affected by the non-native Rainbow trout. This may be because of the fact that non-native species can be invasive for the native species. As the species is used as mate by the non-native species and they may become the prey of non-native species. This has resulted in the extinction of the species of Gila trouts.

Which listed transfusion reaction is most often associated with transfused patient's lacking iga?
IgorC [24]
The most common transfusion reaction, especially in patients lacking either IgA especially serum IgA, is the development of potentially severe hypersensitivity reactions or anaphylaxis. The most probable culprit is the presence of IgA in the transfused blood, because since the individual lacks IgA, then the IgA in the transfused blood is considered a foreign body triggering an allergic response.
