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).

Anastasy [175]

Answer: No

So since its blood, the fathers is A, and the boy's is B, therefore it didn't take any of their DNA's so nope, he isn't the father.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

The mouse and shrew bones were common to all three owls so they were not useful in identifying environments. The gopher bones were unique to the great grey owl of Alaska. Gophers are rodents that are successful in areas with soft soil and lots of grass, so the gopher and this owl would be found in the meadows and evergreen forests of Alaska. The bat was unique to the barking owl of Australia. The bat would be found in woodland habitats where there are many trees the bat can hang from. The gull bones were unique to the short-eared owl of Cuba. Gulls are wetland birds, so the gull and this owl would be found in marshes and coastal areas.
