In fruit flies, the phenotype for eye color is determined by a certain locus. E indicates the dominant allele and e indicates the recessive allele. The cross between a male wild-type fruit fly and a female white-eyed fruit fly produced the following offspring.

Wild Type Male Wild Type Female White-eyed Male White-eyed Female Brown-eyed Female
F1 Generation 0 45 55 0 1

The wild-type and white-eyed individuals from the F1 generation were then crossed to produce the following offspring.

Wild Type Male Wild Type Female White-eyed Male White-eyed Female Brown-eyed Female
F2 Generation 23 31 22 24 0

Required:
a. Determine the genotypes of the original parents (P generation) and explain your reasoning.
b. Use a Chi-squared test on the F2 generation data to analyze your prediction of the parental genotypes.

Answers

Answer:

The genotypes of the original parents are

Male: X⁺Y   Female: X⁻X⁻

The Chi-square analysis leads us to accept the prediction of the parental genotypes.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.

(a) The genotypes for the original parents (P generation) are

Male: X⁺Y  

Female: X⁻X⁻

(b) The prediction of the parental genotype is accepted by the Chi-squared test analysis.  

What is the eye color pattern in fruit flies?

Drosophila Melanogaster is a fruit fly with abnormally big, brightly colored eyes.

The range in color from red to sepia to white reveals a lot about the genetic makeup of the fly.

(a)  E = + ⇒ Dominant allele coding for wild-type eyes

     e = - ⇒ Recessive allele coding for white eyes

Now, Crossing the : male wild-type with a female white-eyed

(Parental)   =  X⁺Y x X⁻X⁻

(Phenotype) =   wild   white

(Gametes)  =    X⁺ Y X⁻ X⁻

(Punnett square)  =  X⁺ Y

X⁻   =  X⁺X⁻  X⁻Y

X⁻   =  X⁺X⁻   X⁻Y

In (F1)generation = 2/4 = 1/2 = 50% of the progeny are expected to be wild-type females.

And 2/4 = 1/2 = 50% of the progeny are expected to be white-eyed males.

Thus, the percentages are almost 50:50, as the expected ones.

So, the genotypes of the original parents are

Male:      X⁺Y

Female:  X⁻X⁻

(b) Using Chi-squared test :

Observed fruit fly type:

Wild Type Male - 25

Wild Type Female - 31

White-eyed Male - 22

White-eyed Female - 24

Expected fruit fly type:

Wild Type Male - 25

Wild Type Female - 25

White-eyed Male - 25

White-eyed Female - 25

Now, chi square [tex]= \sum\dfrac{(O- E)^2 }{E}[/tex]

By putting numbers in the formula, we are getting

Wild Type Male - 0.16

Wild Type Female - 1.44

White-eyed Male - 0.36

White-eyed Female - 0.04

Now, X² = 0.16 + 1.44 + 0.36 + 0.04 = 2

Critical value = 7.82

X² (2) < critical value (7.82)

Thus, this is the evidence to accept the given hypothesis.

A Stage 2
B Stage 1
C Stage 3
D High Normal

Answers

Answer:

B. Stage 1

Explanation:

Systolic blood pressure is less than 120 mm Hg and Diastolic less than 80 mm Hg so it is considered as normal. Pre-Hypertension occurs when the Systolic blood pressure is 120 - 139 and Diastolic pressure is 80 - 89. Stage 1 Hypertension is considered when the Systolic blood pressure is 140 - 159 and Diastolic blood pressure is 90- 99. If the Systolic blood pressure is greater than 160 it is considered as Stage 2 Hypertension.

Ecologists are interested in quantifying different kinds of biodiversity. In below study outlined here, which kind of biodiversity are ecologists studying?

Ecologists establish 20 small areas, called plots, randomly scattered across a California grassland. They count the number of different plant species present in each plot. By noting how many species appear in the plots, the ecologists are able to estimate the number of species in the entire grassland.

a. Genetic diversity
b. Functional diversity
c. Ecosystem diversity
d. Species diversity

Answers

Answer:

d. Species diversity

Explanation:

The species diversity can be measured by:

Species richness: Refers to the number of species are inhabiting a defined area. Species abundance: Describe the distribution of the species abundance.

Species richness is the number of species present in a sample, within a community, habitat or microhabitat, ecosystem, landscape, region or any well-defined spatial unit. It is a metric for measuring biodiversity which simplicity and easy interpretation make it a standard metric.  It is the simplest and straightforward measure of biodiversity. It is just a count of species, with no need for abundance data. In some cases, this can be the cause of criticism, as it ignores information about the species-abundance distribution.

Please explain how shade-adapted plants tend to differ from sun-adapted plants, using the terms: specific leaf area, dark respiration, root mass fraction, leaf lifespan.

Answers

Answer:

Thickness and number of chlorophyll.

Explanation:

Shade-adapted plants differ from sun-adapted plants due to many characteristics such as thickness and number of chlorophyll. Sun leaves are more in thickness than shade leaves because they develop longer palisade cells. Shade leaves generally have more chlorophyll as compared to sun-adapted plants. Specific leaf area and root mass fraction of Shade-adapted plants are higher as compared sun-adapted plants due to large number of chlorophyll to harvest more sunlight for photosynthesis. Dark respiration is higher in sun-adapted plants when there is darkness as compared to shade-adapted plants which produce food in no direct sunlight.

convention cells hbnmb,

Answers

Answer:

convention cells

Explanation:

In the field of fluid dynamics, a convection cell is the phenomenon that occurs when density differences exist within a body of liquid or gas. These density differences result in rising and/or falling currents, which are the key characteristics of a convection cell. When a volume of fluid is heated, it expands and becomes less dense and thus more buoyant than the surrounding fluid. The colder, denser part of the fluid descends to settle below the warmer, less-dense fluid, and this causes the warmer fluid to rise. Such movement is called convection, and the moving body of liquid is referred to as a convection cell. This particular type of convection, where a horizontal layer of fluid is heated from below, is known as Rayleigh–Bénard convection. Convection usually requires a gravitational field, but in microgravity experiments, thermal convection has been observed without gravitational effects.
