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.
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.

How many molecules are in 3Hg(SO)4
Answer:
1.806 × 10²⁴ molecules
Explanation:
From the chemical compound given in this question, there are 3 moles of Hg(SO)4.
To calculate the number of molecules in 3 moles of Hg(SO)4, we multiply the number of moles by Avagadro number (6.02 × 10²³)
number of molecules = 3 × 6.02 × 10²³
= 18.06 × 10²³
= 1.806 × 10²⁴ molecules
In an energy pyramid, the lowest level has: a) less energy than the top level. b) less energy than the second level. c) more energy than the top level. d) the same amount of energy as the second level.
Answer:
I believe the answer would be B because if I'm sure the bottom is grain which has higher levels in grain and glucose I believe and that doesn't produce energy . The second level is meat and that has protein which give us strength.

Movement of the lithospheric plate
Answer:
Movement of the lithospheric plate
The movement of lithospheric plates is known as the plate tectonics, this was a theory before but now it is widely accepted as true and actually happening around the planet.
These movements in the lithospheric plates of the planet, is the reason why the planet looks like what it is today. The continents, countries and all land formations and underwater features are products of plate tectonics.

Answer:
Explanation:
Movement of the lithospheric plate is a major topic in the theory of plate tectonics. the motions of two plates against each other can cause subduction of plates, volcanoes to form and earthquakes to happen.

Two polypeptides, X and Y, have similar tertiary structures. X normally exists as a monomer while Y exists as a tetramer, Y4. What differences might be expected in the amino acid composition of X versus Y
Answer:
Due to number of amino acids.
Explanation:
The main differences might be expected in the amino acid composition of X versus Y because the X polypeptide is made up of one smaller unit of amino acid while on the other hand, Y polypeptide is made up of four smaller units of amino acids. The name of X is monomer which means composed of one amino acids while Y exists as a tetramer which means it has four amino acids. So we can conclude that the main difference between X and Y is the presence of number of amino acids.
Amino acids are organic compounds that are formed of amino, carboxylic and a side group. They bond to form protein structures.
The amino acids fold in various structures like primary, secondary, tertiary etc. The basic contrast in an amino acid arrangement of polypeptide X and Y is that the X is made of small units while Y is made of larger units.
X polypeptide is a monomer that is it only has one unit of amino acid while Y is a tetramer that is it has four-unit of amino acids.
Therefore, the number of amino acids is the main distinction between X and Y tertiary structures.

convention cells hbnmb,
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.

Explanation:
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.
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.

Which properties of water are most responsible for the capillary action in plants?
Answer:
The property of "cohesion forces" of the water makes them responsible for the capillary action in the plants.
Explanation:
Water molecules in the soil get pulled into the plant through roots and travel over the vessels and tubes in the stem to various parts of the plant. Leave surface have small pores, named as stomata or guard cells that will help in transpiration or evaporation. This process of transpiration will help the ground water to travel opposite to the gravity and travel all parts of the plant body carrying minerals and essential food particles.
