Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, and one dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get a wild-type phenotype. a. What phenotypic ratios would you predict among the progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies? b. You cross a particular wild-type male in succession with three tester strains. In the cross with one tester strain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wild type. In the crosses involving the other two tester strains (aa BB cc and aa bb CO, half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of the wild-type male?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

a. When crossing triply heterozygous flies (Aa Bb Cc), where each gene has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, the phenotypic ratios among the progeny would be 1:1. b. The genotype of the wild-type male can be deduced based on the phenotypic ratios observed in the crosses with the tester strains.

a. If you crossed triply heterozygous flies (Aa Bb Cc), where each gene has one dominant allele and one recessive allele, you can use the product rule to predict the phenotypic ratios among the progeny.

For each gene, the possible gametes are A and a, B and b, C and c. When you cross the triply heterozygous flies, you can determine the possible genotypes of the offspring:

Genotypes:

AA BB CC (wild type)

AA BB Cc (wild type)

AA Bb CC (wild type)

AA Bb Cc (wild type)

Aa BB CC (wild type)

Aa BB Cc (wild type)

Aa Bb CC (wild type)

Aa Bb Cc (wild type)

The phenotypic ratios can be determined by counting the number of wild-type (dominant phenotype) offspring and dividing it by the total number of offspring:

Wild-type progeny (AA BB CC, AA BB Cc, AA Bb CC, AA Bb Cc, Aa BB CC, Aa BB Cc, Aa Bb CC, Aa Bb Cc) = 8

Total number of progeny = 8 (since each possible genotype occurs once)

Phenotypic ratio: 8 wild-type : 8 total = 1:1

b. To determine the genotype of the wild-type male, we can deduce it based on the phenotypic ratios observed in the crosses with the tester strains.

In the cross with the tester strain AA bb cc, only 1/4 of the progeny are wild type. This means that the male being tested (wild-type male) must be heterozygous for the B and C genes (Aa Bb Cc) since the wild-type phenotype requires one dominant allele for each of the three genes.

In the crosses involving the other two tester strains (aa BB cc and aa bb CO), half of the progeny are wild type. This indicates that the wild-type male is homozygous for the A gene (AA Bb Cc) since the wild-type phenotype requires two dominant alleles for the A gene.

So, the genotype of the wild-type male is Aa BB Cc.

There are approximately 30,000,000 white-tailed deer in the United States, which covers 3,536,000 square miles. What is the population density, rounded to the nearest whole number, for the white-tailed deer?a. 2 deer per square mile
b. 4 deer per square mile
c. 6 deer per square mile
d. 8 deer per square mile

Answers

Answer;

d. 8 deer per square mile

Explanation;

-Population density is a measurement of population per unit area.

-To calculate the population density, we divide the population by the size of the area. Thus, Population Density = Number of People/Land Area. The unit of land area should be square miles or square kilometers.

-In this case;

Population density = 30,000,000/3,536,000

= 8.48

= 8 (to the nearest whole number)

Thus, the population density will be 8 deer per square mile



You have to divide the number of deer to the square miles.
30000000/3536000 = 8.48 which rounded is 8.

What makes up all of the living and nonliving things that surround and support you? the atmosphere. the soil. the troposphere. the environment.

Answers

Answer: The environment.

Explanation: The environment consists of both the factors like biotic and abiotic factors. The interaction between these factors defines an environment.

The abiotic factors found in the environment consists of the soil, mountain, water, clouds and other non living parts. The biotic factors of the environment consists of the plants and animals.

Environment consists of both biotic and abiotic factors.

Environment- the conditions that surrounds someone or something. It affects growth, health, progress ,etc.

Why are annual temperature ranges in the Southern Hemisphere generally smaller than those in the Northern Hemisphere?

Answers

Annual temperature ranges in the Southern Hemisphere generally smaller than those in the Northern Hemisphere because there is a higher rate of the water surface in the Southern Hemisphere.

Water is a prominent absorber of radiation and slower radiator of heat than land Environments in the southerly region which overall tend to be lightly moderate than those in the northerly region. This is because the southerly hemisphere has significantly more beach and less land. Water warms up and freezes down more slowly than land. The southerly hemisphere is also significantly less contaminated than the northerly hemisphere because of lower population densities,  lower levels of industrialization, and smaller land sizes.

Why are Annual temp ranges in the southern hemisphere generally smaller than those in the northern hemisphere? Answer:there is more water

In the first paragraph, UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain claims, " We've gotten to the point where when it comes to extreme heat waves, there is almost always a human fingerprint." Explain: What does Swain mean?

Answers

Answer:

It means human is responsible for everything.

Explanation:

Swain who is climate scientist mean that the heat waves occurs due to the human intervention and activities. Human is responsible for the change occurs in climate and global warming. In some areas heat waves occurs which adversely affected human as well as animals and plants. Heat wave is a period of hot weather occurs due to emission of greenhouse gases which increase the temperature of the earth's surface.

many fungi grow a mass of hyphae usually hidden within the material on which it is growing. what is this mass of hyphae called

Answers

Answer:

Mycelium.

Explanation:

Mycelium is a mass of thread-like hyphae that can grow on a surface, decaying material, soil or on a living tissue. It is the vegetative part of a fungus through which a fungus absorbs nutrient from the environment. They are good sources of food for soil invertebrates. They also play a major role in decomposition of plant material.

It is called mycellium.

Which series shows a correct path of energy flow in a marine food chain?

Answers

In a typical marine food chain, dinoflagellates convert energy from sunlight into food through photosynthesis and store it in their tissues. Copepods feed on dinoflagellates and incorporate this energy into their own tissues. The energy is transferred to sunfish when they feed on copepods, to small sharks that feed on sunfish, and to large sharks that feed on small sharks. 
is that what you meant by series?
