You want to determine whether short wings in fruit flies are the result of a dominant or recessive mutation. You cross a short-w

inged fly stock with a long-winged fly stock (which is considered to be wild type or / ). The progeny have a 1:1 ratio of short to long wings. You then allow the F1 short-winged flies to mate. The F2 progeny have a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 short to long wings. Short wings are likely the result of:

Answer:

a dominant mutation

Explanation:

A monohybrid testcross is a cross-breeding experiment used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant phenotype is homo-zygous dominant or heterozygous for a particular phenotypic trait (in this case, wing length). In a monohybrid testcross, a 1:1 phenotypic ratio shows that the dominant parental phenotype was a heterozygote for a single gene that has complete dominance. Moreover, a 3:1 ratio in the F2 is expected of a cross between heterozygous F1 individuals, which means that 75% of individuals with short wings have the dominant allele that masks the expression of the long-wing trait (i.e. the recessive allele).

Cutaneous Anthrax is spread by contact with the bacterium's spores, which often appear in infectious animal products. Contact is by breathing, eating, or through an area of broken skin. It does not typically spread directly between people. Risk factors include people who work with animals or animal products, travelers, postal workers, and military personnel.Diagnosis can be confirmed by finding antibodies or the toxin in the blood or by culture of a sample from the infected site.

What did the Clean Air Act allow citizens to do that no previous U.S. environmental law had allowed?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: What did the Clean Air Act allow citizens to do that no previous U.S. environmental law had allowed, would be: it was the first law that considered citizen lawsuits against the correct enforcement of the statutes stated in the Act.

Explanation:

The Clean Air Act, which was passed originally in 1963, and which has been amended since, with its last update being in the 1990´s, became the first time that the U.S government not only established federal funding for environmental issues, but also regulated environmental topics through EPA (Environmental Protection Agency, 1970) and considered the power that citizens could have to ensure the enforcement of the statutes and provisions considered in the Act. This consideration of citizen suits, is the most important  and relevant difference with earlier environmental laws.
