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.

What is one reason the information received at the fovea is clear and highly detailed?
mars1129 [50]

The fovea centralis is tightly packed with receptors which can receive clear and highly detailed information.

The fovea centralis, or fovea, is a small depression within the neurosensory retina where visual acuity is the highest.

The fovea itself is the central portion of the macula, which is responsible for central vision.

To form high resolution images, the light must fall on the fovea, and that limits the acute vision angle to about 15 degrees.

In low light, this fovea constitutes a second blind spot since it is exclusively cones which have low light sensitivity.

Human fovea consists of 3 spectral types of cones:  long wavelength cones, medium wavelength cones and short wavelength cones.

How do you test for odors during a lab investigation?
sleet_krkn [62]

Hey there! :)

During a lab investigation containing liquids of any kind, you should always test the odor by waving your hand over the top of an open container and sniffing cautiously. This is called wafting, and should always be used in the case that a harmful chemical is being tested.

EleoNora [17]
A is hypertonic so water is leaving the cell going into the solution, the cell shrinks. B is isotonic so there is no net transfer of water. C is hypotonic so water is entering the cell from the solution, the cell expands and can rupture.
