In fruit flies, curved wings (w) are recessive to the dominant straight wings (W), and ebony body (b) is recessive to the domina

nt gray body (B). A fly that has curved wings and ebony body is crossed with a fly that has straight wings and gray body. Of the offspring there were approximately equal numbers of straight gray, straight ebony, curved gray, curved ebony. What are the genotypes of the parents and offspring

Answer:

The correct answer =

parents : WwBb x wwbb

offspring :

WwBb, Wwbb, wwBb, and wwbb

Explanation:

It is given that the straight wings (W) is dominant over curved wings (w) and the ebony body (b) is recessive to the dominant gray body (B) and there is a cross between curved wings and ebony body and straight wings and gray body is made. The phenotypic ratio is: 1:1:1:1 for the four different phenotypes straight gray, straight ebony, curved gray, curved ebony.

It is not given the genotype of parents, however, for the curved and ebony fly, it is clear that both alleles are recessive as recessive alleles only appear in absence of the dominant allele of the trait.

For another parent, the possible genotypes can be  WWBB or WwBb, however in the case of WWBB the phenotypic ratio would not be equal therefore,

crossing WwBb x wwbb

This can be represented in the form of a punnett square as below:

          wb   wb           wb           wb  

WB WwBb WwBb WwBb WwBb Straight wing, Gray body

Wb Wwbb Wwbb Wwbb Wwbb Straight wing, Ebony body

wB wwBb wwBb wwBb wwBb Curved wing, Gray body

wb wwbb wwbb wwbb wwbb Curved wing, Ebony Body

The phenotypic ratio is: 1:1:1:1 for the four different phenotypes

Alona [7]

Enzymes within the Golgi enclose them in a new vesicle that buds from the surface of the Golgi apparatus and moderate the proteins apparatus. The vesicles migrate to the membrane and release their protein to the outside of the cell.  Lysosomes digest and recycle the waste materials for reuse by the cell.  The Golgi apparatus is often seen as the packaging and distribution center of the cell.Vesicles transport the proteins from the ribosomes to the Golgi apparatus, a.k.a Golgi complex, where they are packaged into new vesicles.
