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

_____is an interaction between species that affects both species negatively (-/-), as they utilize similar resources.
jolli1 [7]

An interaction between species that affects both species negatively (-/-) , as they utilize similar resources is called as Competition .

Competition :

Competition is a process in which the fitness of individual of one species is significantly lower than that of the individual of same or different species.

Types of competition :

For the necessities of life , it is divided into two types .they are as follows,

A) interspecific competition : it is a competition which occurs between the individuals of two different species having some requirements of life , e.g.,carnivorous animals such as tiger ,lion ,leopard etc .compete for the prey . in the forest habitat ,herbs and trees compete for sunlight , water space , minerals , and biological pollinators .

If the individuals of two different species have sme one or more requirement the the competition becomes very severe e.g., grassland is the common habitat for bison ,dear rabbits ,rats grasshoppers , etc .if thee is short supply of grass due to draught then the competition becomes severe

The survival of the consumers is determined by the quantity of grass required by each species ,ability to change the food and its capacity to migrate to new localities.

B) Intraspecific competition : it occurs between the individuals of the same species .this type of competition is very severe as all the individuals of the same species have almost common requirement of food ,habit etc .besides they also exhibits similar adaptations to fulfill their requirements ,e.g., animals of same species compete for water ,food and mates .

Intraspecific competition is the driving force behind evolution and natural selection .

Thus the Competition only negative impact on environment.

Explain why the number of mice in a grassland ecosystem is greater than the number of hawks
Westkost [7]
Let's go back to "Darwin's" evolution theory. mice can be smarter than the average hawk, they are fast, have underground protection from cold,heat, rain,ECT..and they scavenge during p.m. hours, not all hawks are nocturnal, that's why owls are nocturnal. This cycle ensures enough food source for all predators. A hawk can consume at least 6 mice per day/night. rodents are natural prey for all preditors., even coyote. hope this helps, plus mice reproduce quickly compared to preditors.
hope this helps..
