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 organelle does the mRNA strand go to so protein synthesis can start?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The mRNA strands go to the cytoplasm to meet ribosomes so protein synthesis can start.

Explanation:

In protein synthesis, the first step is to <em>synthesize messenger RNA</em>, mRNA. The coping process of the DNA section for the desired protein is called <u><em>transcription</em></u>, and it happens in the <em>nucleus</em>. After that, it occurs <em><u>translation</u></em>, when the formed <em>mRNA moves to the </em><em>cytoplasm</em> through the nucleus membrane pores. Protein synthesis is initiated in the cytoplasm when mRNA meets a free ribosome, the primary structure for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are made of <em>protein and ribosomal RNA</em> and can be found in the r<em>ough endoplasmic reticulum</em> or floating in the <em>cytosol</em>. They read the mRNA code and add the correct amino acid using <em>transference RNA</em> to build the protein. mARN has a <em>start and end codon</em> that tells where to start and stop adding amino acids. When the ribosome reaches the end codon, it means that protein synthesis is finished. The new protein is driven to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and translocated to the lumen. Once there, the protein suffers a few modifications, one of them is <em>folding</em> to become functional. Finally, protein is transported by vesicles to the Golgi complex, and from there to its final destiny.

If a cell has 32 pairs of chromosomes in its diploid state, how many chromosomes will it have after Meiosis 1? A. 8 B. 64 C. 32
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

option c is correct that is 32

Explanation:

meiosis occur in two phases in the first phase DNA replication occur and amount of DNA becomes doubled without any changes in the chromosomes number and two daughter cells( each 2n) are formed

now in stage 2 each daughter cell undergoes mitosis with the formation of two cells  each with half chromosomes (n)

now 2n =32

n=32/2=16

after meiosis stage 1 ........ two daughter cell each with 32 chromosomes  

stage 2.... each daughter cell form two grand daughter cell each with 16 chromosomes

High blood pressure
kirill115 [55]

Answer: b. can lead to other cardiovascular diseases

Explanation:

High blood pressure or hypertention can be define as a condition in which the flowing blood exerts force over the walls of the arteries. The arteries are the type of blood vessels which carries the blood from the heart to the rest of the body parts. This condition results in heart diseases like heart stroke or heart attack due to abnormal blood flow.

1.what are the characteristics of bacteria
qwelly [4]
#1: Bacteria are like eukaryotic cells in that they have cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane. Features that distinguish a bacterial cell from a eukaryotic cell include the circular DNA of the nucleoid, the lack of membrane-bound organelles, the cell wall of peptidoglycan, and flagella. #2: Archaea have more complex RNA polymerases than Bacteria, similar to Eucarya. Unlike bacteria, archaea cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan. Archaea have different membrane lipid bonding from bacteria and eukarya. There are genetic differences. #10: Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters. #12: Bacteria reproduce .In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates). Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell. #13: Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease. ... One of the bacterial diseases with the highest disease burden is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which kills about 2 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.Pathogenic microbes challenge the immune system in many ways. Viruses make us sick by killing cells or disrupting cell function. #14: Antibiotics work by affecting things that bacterial cells have but human cells don't. For example, human cells do not have cell walls, while many types of bacteria do. The antibiotic penicillin works by keeping a bacterium from building a cell wall. HOPE I HELPED I Don’t NO #11

Why are vestigial structures are considered examples of<br>homologous structures?​
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Vestigial structures are often homologous to structures that are functioning normally in other species. Therefore, vestigial structures can be considered the evidence for evolution, the process by which beneficial heritable traits arise in populations over an extended period of time.
