When Thomas Hunt Morgan crossed his red-eyed F1 generation flies to each other, the F2 generation included both red- and white-e

yed flies. Remarkably, all the white-eyed flies were male. What was the explanation for this result?

Answer:

Gene is present on the X chromosome.

Explanation:

The two main types of chromosomes are autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes regulates the functioning of the body but do not play role in determining the sex of an individual. The sex chromosomes distinguishes between the male and female.

The linkage of sex chromosomes is present in Drosophila as well. The cross between the F1 generation leads to both the red and white eyed flies because the eye color gene is present on the X chromosome. The males contain only one X chromosome and the presence of recessive gene results in the white color whereas in females both the X chromosomes must contain recessive gene for the white color.  

Thus, the answer is gene involved is on the X chromosome.

Imagine that you want to breed a species of rose that has a wonderful smell. You have many different types of roses, but none of
Natalija [7]

Answer: if i want to breed a rose and i don't have a certain kind of rose, i have to cross between them until i have a kind of rose that express the phenotype i was looking for. Once i've got it, i'll try to cross it with another rose and generate more species like that to cross with the rose that express the phenotype, this favors to generate a specie that have a pure phenotype.

Explanation: The answer is explain by the Mendel's laws.

Mendel's second law:

if you have two roses that are heterozygous and you cross them, their offspring have a 25% probability of generating a homozygous phenotype for a certain recessive characteristic (such as the rich smell of roses that is not a dominant character), 50% of generate heterozygotes with a dominant phenotype, and 25% generate other homozygotes with a dominant phenotype.

Once the offspring with the recessive homozygous character are obtained, it is possible to start making crosses between those of a recessive nature and there Mendel's first law applies

All the homozygous recessive individuals that are crossed will have a 100% homozygous recessive offspring.

Also, if you cross heterozygotes with another heterozygotes the offspring will be 100% heterozygotes

The Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. However, the oldest sea floor is only about 180 million years old. What do you think i
natita [175]

Answer:

The seafloor is only 180 million years old due to the process of subduction. The floor of the sea's tends to get colder and denser with the passage of time. At a certain time, the seafloor becomes so dense that it sinks in the upper mantle. The Earth's crust cannot undergo this process and hence has oldest rocks. We can say that the seafloor is less than 180 million years old because it is typically recycled back into the mantle of the Earth.
