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.

Because the fatty acid chains are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, it implies that the fatty acid chains of a phospholipid is not attracted to water hence why they are turned inwards towards each other and away from aqueous medium.  This implies that the interior of the membrane is HYDROPHOBIC (water-fearing/water-repelling).

an organism's Fitness describes how well it is adapted to its environment the environment is made of biotic and abiotic factors
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Both biotic and abiotic factors affect the survival and reproductive success rate of fishes in an ecosystem.

The number of predators that a particular type of fish will have will influence the survival and reproductive rate of that fish. An increased number of predators will mean that the fishes will not be able to survive in that ecosystem and will be eaten up.

The number of preys will also affect the survival rate of fishes in an environment. The lesser the number of preys, the more the competition for food among species.

Abiotic factors like the concentration of salts in water will also influence the survival and reproduction of fishes. If a fish is not adapted to live in saline water conditions, then accumulation of salts in the ecosystem might destroy the whole fish species in that ecosystem.

Human activities, like the throwing of wastes into the aquatic ecosystem, drainage of fertilizers in the aquatic system can also destroy the survival and reproduction rate of a particular kind of aquatic animal species.

A scientist is using relative dating to determine the age of a fossil that she discovered.
Dmitry [639]

Answer: D.finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface.

Relative dating refers to the age estimation method in which past events are determined, to compare the age of object, organism, strata or rock with the age of other similar entity. This method gives an approximate or estimated age, it does not provide absolute age.  

The older fossils are found in deeper layers of the strata as compared to younger fossils. This represents the geological time and life span of primitive or preexisting organisms. Therefore, according to the given situation, finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface is the best conclusion.
