A Xw+m+Xwm female was mated to a XwmY male. Out of 1000 total F1 progeny there were 230 flies that were otherwise wild type with
1 answer:
In order to calculate the distance between two alleles/genes that are found in the same chromosome, we need to know how often crossing-over happened (recombination frequency). We know from the text that white eyes were linked to miniature wings and that wild type eyes were linked to wild type wings, so any phenotype that's contrary to these parent combinations are a result of crossing-over. We know then that 230 flies + 240 flies were a result of such recombination. To calculate the recombination frequency we only need to divide these flies (total of recombinant flies) by the total of flies in the offspring and turn it into percentage.
=0.47
0.47*100%=47%
47 map units is the distance between the genes <span>for eye color and wing length.</span>

Answer:
midbrain, medulla, and pons
Explanation:
The brainstem (also known as truncus encephali) is localized in the posterior part of the brain, in the base between cerebral hemispheres and the cervical cord. <em>It's divided into three parts, the midbrain or mesencephalon, the pons or mesencephalon, and the medulla oblongata also known as long medulla or myelencephalon.</em> <em>In the image I added you can see the brainstem structure.</em>
Some of the brainstem functions include the regulation of respiratory and cardiac function, thermoregulation, and other functions related to vision, sleep, etc.
