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).

A parent cell gives rise to daughter cells with identical genetic information. Which of the following data supports the idea tha
Yuri [45]

Answer:

A feline skeletal muscle cell undergoes cell division, resulting in two feline skeletal muscle cells.

Explanation:

We are looking for a parent cell that gives rise to daughter cells with identical genetic information.

In simpler words, we are looking for something that makes 'clones' of itself.

In this statement (second option), the parent and daughters are all feline skeletal muscle cells.

A <u>feline skeletal muscle cell</u> undergoes cell division, resulting in two <u>feline skeletal muscle cells</u>.

Other incorrect choices: (All having to do with reproduction).

A child has <u>brown eyes</u>; one of its biological parents has <u>green eyes, and the other has brown eyes</u>.

This situation has two parents, each with a different trait. The child takes one of the parent's trait. The parents did not make a 'clone' of themselves.

A human sperm fuses with a human egg cell, resulting in the development of a new human.

The parents don't make 'clones' of themselves. The sperm did not make more sperm. The egg did not make more egg cells.

A <u>long-stemmed</u> plant reproduces with a <u>short-stemmed</u> plant, and the offspring are all <u>long-stemmed</u>.

The offspring plant only took the trait from one of it's parents. Also, whole plants are not individual cells.

Answer:

Cool dense water sinks to the ocean floor.

Warm water replaces cool surface water.

Wind blowing parallel to the shore causes upwelling of cool water.
