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).

Two species of birds feed on mistletoe berries. The birds are active at different times of the day and do not come into contact
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. exploitation

Explanation:

Exploitation competition occurs when the interaction of two species is indirect when they complete for the same resource like food, place, etc. The use of resources by one individual species reduces the amount of resources for the other species leading to competition.

So over time the more fit species will out complete the less fit species. So here two species of bird feed on the same food but at different times and so they reduce resources for each other which is an example of exploitation competition.

why are Gram-positive bacteria are more resistant than Gram-negative bacteria to antimicrobials that disrupt plasma membranes
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Gram positive bacteria are more resistant than gram negative bacteria to antimicrobials that disrupt plasma membranes because they have cell wall that is made up of a thick layer of peptidologlycan that contain teichoic and lipoteichoic acid to peptidoglycan.

Explanation:

Gram positive bacteria are bacteria that have thick wall made up of peptidoglycan and have no lipid membrane while gram negative bacteria are bacteria that have thin cell wall composed of peptidoglycan with lipid membrane.

Gram positive bacteria is resistant to antibiotics because of their thick cell wall composed of peptidoglylcan which contain teichoic and lipoteichoic acid , this help strengthen the plasma membranes and make them not to be attached by antimicrobial compared to gram negative that lack this.
