A scientist named Thomas Hunt Morgan studied genetics in fruit flies. Specifically he looked at wild type (normal) wings versus

vestigial (shortened) wings. When he crossed a wild type female with a vestigial male he expected to see 50% parental phenotypes and 50% recombinant phenotypes in the offspring. However, what he actually found was 83% parental phenotypes and 17% recombinant phenotypes. What does this suggest about the genes he was studying? How do the percentages help us determine this?

Answer:

More offspring resembles to parents.

Explanation:

The percentages help us to determine that the parental genes are dominant in the offspring and more percentage of offspring resembles to the parents whereas low percentage of offspring are hybrid in nature. Hybrid means the offspring which are different from their parents or having new characteristics. So the results shows that 83% offspring resembles to their parents whereas 17% offspring are totally different from the parents.

What is the primary purpose of the chromosomes in a cells nucleus?​
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

They are made of protein and one molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). As the genetic material passes from parents to child, the chromosomes are responsible for containing the instructions that make the offspring unique while still carrying traits from the parent.

Changing one base in a gene could have the
saw5 [17]


answer: 2) sequence of building blocks of a protein found in a cell.

Just random FYI:

- it is a mutation, that is generally not looked upon as being severe or detrimental to the person

-by changing the base by either adding or deleting from a protein strand will cause the protein to be useless

-frameshift mutation deals with DNA sequence being shifted. For example: a DNA strand looks like a ladder. If one of the rungs on the ladders gets skipped and the next ladder rung gets the code that the previous rung should have gotten, then that is what a frameshift mutation is. Hopefully that makes sense. It's easier to explain if there was a picture.

there are other types of mutation but I won't get into them.


Hopefully this helped and good luck.

Why is it difficult to avoid a tsunami?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It is difficult to avoid a tsunami due to it being such a large volume of water that is capable of destroying a large amount of land.

Explanation:

However, even though it is difficult to avoid a tsunami, as they are extremely difficult to predict, there are ways where one can begin to prepare before it hits. One of the ways you can do this is getting to a higher ground far away from inland, avoiding downed power lines, and steering clear of buildings or bridges where large, heavy objects could fall during an aftershock.

Tsunamis are incredibly dangerous, since there is a great chance that if you get caught in one, you can drown. Since tsunamis have little to no warning when they arrive, it is always essential to be prepared when one strikes.

I hope this helped! :)
