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.

Calculate the rate of photosynthesis (mm/hr) for Elodea if when measuring net photosynthesis, the water level moved up 7mm from
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

With 6 we should multiply gross photosynthesis (as we were measuring gross photosynthesis for 10 min).

Explanation:

According to this question:-

Net photosynthesis- 3mm/20min- 1.5mm/10min

Cellular respiration- 1mm/15min- 0.66mm/10min

Gross photosynthesis = Net photosynthesis + Cellular respiration = 1.5+0.66 = 2.16 (mm/10min)

Rate of photosynthesis = (gross photosynthesis)6 = 2.16 *6 = 12.96 mm/hr

As we gage the photosynthesis rate in hr.

Suppose that of a cohort of 150 mice in a mouse colony born in February, 125 are still at the end of March and 115 are still ali
kogti [31]

Answer: Survival rate up to start of April = 76.67%

Explanation: size of colony = 150mice.

Size of colony in February =125mice.

Size of colony in march = 115 mice.

1. Survivorship rate in February

= Size of colony / size in February *100.

= 122 / 150 * 100

= 83.33% to the nearest hundredth

2. Survivorship rate in march

= Size of colony / size in march *100.

= 115/150 * 100

= 76.67% to the nearest hundredth.

What would be the consequence to an organism if they are missing the following DNA repair mechanisms:
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a. DNA polymerase proofreading:   consequence of its absence is the DNA mutation

b.  Mismatch repair enzymes : consequence of its absence impedes homologous recombination resulting in the final mutation

c. Nucleotide excision repair enzymes : the absence of nucleotide cleavage repair enzymes would impede the functioning of damaged DNA repair mechanisms

Explanation:

a. DNA polymerases are the enzymes that form the DNA in cells. During DNA replication (copying), most DNA polymerases can "check their work" with each base they add. This process is called review. If the polymerase detects that you have added a wrong nucleotide (incorrectly paired), remove it and replace it immediately, before continuing with DNA synthesis

b. In homologous recombination, the information from the homologous chromosome that matches that of the damaged one (or from a sister chromatid if the DNA has been copied) is used to repair the fragmentation. In this process the two homologous chromosomes are approached and the undamaged region of the homologue or the chromatide is used as a template to replace the damaged region of the broken chromosome. Homologous recombination is "cleaner" than the union of non-homologous ends and does not usually cause 11 mutations

c. Excision repair: damage to one or a few DNA bases is usually fixed by removing (excising) and replacing the damaged region. In repair by base cleavage, only the damaged base is removed. In nucleotide excision repair, as in the mating repair we saw earlier, a nucleotide section is removed
