he bodies of wild-type fruit flies are colored by dark pigments, but an X-linked recessive mutation can confer a yellow, unpigme

nted phenotype. However, feeding silver salts to larvae results in adult flies that phenocopy the yellow phenotype. You are conducting epistasis experiments in fruit flies to understand the genetics of pigmentation. A rival research lab sends you a vial of yellow-bodied flies for your experiments. How can you tell whether these flies are mutants instead of phenocopies

Answer:

We could feed them with another type of food free of silver salts.

Explanation:

When talking about a phenocopy, we are referring to individuals who genotypically should be expressing a determined phenotype, but due to environmental influence, they express another phenotype. This is a non-inheritable phenotype, so it is not considered a mutation.

If we grow thy flies feeding them another type of food that does not include silver salts, and let them mate and reproduce, they will express the real phenotype, because they will not be influenced by the food. In the following generation, there will be dark individuals carrying the dominant allele, and yellow individuals, with the recessive genotype.

ella [17]

The RNA (ribonucleic acid) and the associated proteins forms the ribosomes. These ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis in a cell. Inside the stained cell nucleus, the nucleolus part of the cell can be seen. The nucleolus is the part where the all the ribosomes of the cell are assembled.

Hence, the answer is 'nucleolus'.

Which of the following statements about biological membranes is FALSE? Which of the following statements about biological membra
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Option (1).

Explanation:

Biological membrane mainly composed of lipids and proteins with the small amount of carbohydrate exposed on the outer surface of the membrane. This membrane plays an important role as it separates the cellular environment and facilitate the transport of the selected molecule.

The flippase enzyme is required to transport the molecules from one side of the membrane to the other membrane. Lipids and proteins can undergo lateral motion but at the different rate within the membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

A plant with dark-purple flowers and a plant with white flowers are crossed. All of the offspring have lavender flowers. The all
dimaraw [331]
I believe the answer is incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance creates a mix of the two phenotype(white and dark purple flowers) to create a third phenotype (lavender). Lavender is a mix.

Whereas, co-dominance would not be a mix but both traits would exist within the organism. In your question, it would be codominance if the dark purple flower and the white flower created a flower with white and dark flower pedals. This would not be a mix of the phenotype, but a co-existance of both phenotype.

I hope that helps! :D
