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.

salantis [7]

Answer:

el enunciado hace referencia a estructuras análogas

Explanation:

La estructuras análogas (por ejemplo, órganos, tejidos, etc) son aquellas que cumplen la misma o similares funciones pero que poseen un origen evolutivo distinto (es decir, no comparten un antepasado común) y son producto de la convergencia evolutiva. Por el contrario, estructuras homólogas son aquellas que se caracterizan por tener un origen evolutivo común (comparten un antepasado común), independientemente de la función que cumplan. Las estructuras análogas se caracterizan por tener diferentes orígenes embrionarios y planes de construcción distintos (es decir, las células que dan origen a este tipo de estructuras son de linajes diferentes). Un ejemplo bien conocido de estructuras análogas son las alas de mariposas y murciélagos, las cuales cumplen la misma función pero no derivan de un antepasado común.
