Complete question:

A geneticist crossed fruit flies to determine the phenotypic ratio. The geneticist crossed a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles (bbss) with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles (BbSs). Which proportion of offspring that are dominant for both traits in would you not expect based on Mendel's law of independent assortment? 1/2 , 4/16, 25% , or 1/4

Answer:

1/2 is the proportion of the offspring that is NOT expected among individuals that are dominant for both traits.

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny and the correct expected proportion of individuals that are dominant for both traits.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Cross:  a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles
  • Recessive trait: blistery wings and spineless bristles
  • Dominant trait: normal wings and normal bristles

Let us say that:

  • B is the dominant allele for normal wings
  • b is the recessive allele for blistery wings
  • S is the dominant allele for normal bristles
  • s is the recessive allele for spineless bristles

Parentals)        bbss       x        BbSs

Gametes)  bs, bs, bs, bs     BS, Bs, bS, bs

Punnett square)    BS        Bs         bS        bs

                     bs    BbSs    Bbss     bbSs    bbss

                     bs    BbSs    Bbss     bbSs    bbss

                     bs    BbSs    Bbss     bbSs    bbss

                     bs    BbSs    Bbss     bbSs    bbss

F1)  4/16 = 1/4 = 25%  of the progeny is expected to be BbSs, dyhibrid individuals, expressing normal wings and normal bristles

     4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be Bbss, expressing normal wings and spineless bristles

     4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbSs, expressing  blistery wings and normal bristles

     4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbss, expressing  blistery wings and spineless bristles

Should existing structures build from CCA-treated wood be removed?
stiks02 [169]
<span>Chromated copper arsenate, or CCA, is a pesticide that has been used for years in pressure-treating lumber to prevent destruction from rot and insects. Arsenic, a toxic chemical, can leach from this treated wood, leaving residues on the wood’s surface and in nearby soil. Young children who play on or near decks or playscapes made from CCA- treated wood can get arsenic on their skin and into their bodies, especially if they eat or drink without washing their hands. Because of the health risks of long-term exposure to arsenic, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that as of December 31, 2003, arsenic Currently the EPA does not recommend that people remove existing structures made with CCA-treated wood or the soil surrounding those structures. However, they do recommend that people reduce their potential exposure to arsenic.</span>
