In the heterozygous state (w +/w), a variegated eye is produced, with white and red patches. The following statements are true in relation to this experiment:
b. When heterochromatin spreading does not reach the new location of the w + allele, the gene will be transcribed, producing red eye patches.
c. When heterochromatin spreading encompasses the new location of w + allele, the gene is transcribed, producing white eye patches.
d. Even though eye color phenotypic variegation exists within the eye, all cells have the same genotype.
Explanation:
Heterochromatin in droshophila has genes which gets expressed by position effect variegation. In some normally active cells genes are silenced in some due to transposition of genes which causes change or variegating in phenotype.
This change is due to change in position of the gene in the genome and chromosome but no change in gene.
The variegation in drsophilla melanogaster shows that white gene was not damaged.
The rearrrangement of gene takees place at pericentric heterochromatin.
Heterochromatin is required for maintaining genome integrity and regulating gene expression. When spread in neighboring region it can inactivate the genes present there.
The genes taking part in variegation remains same hence no change in genotype.
They serve to transport ova from the ovaries to the uterus; they are also the locus for fertilisation of the ovum by sperm.
Explanation:
The Fallopian (or uterine) tubes are two tubes that extend from the uterus towards the ovaries.
Answer:
These cells use active-transport systems in the apical domains of their plasma membranes to take up dietary sugars and amino acids from the lumen of the intestine. The uptake of glucose, for example, is carried out by a transporter that coordinately transports two Na+ and one glucose into the cell
