Elongated and Five are two genes in a housefly that are 24 centimorgans (map units) apart. The E allele of Elongated produces el

ongated wings, and the e allele produces small wings (E is dominant). The F allele of Five produces five stripes on the back of the fly, and the f allele produces four stripes (F is dominant). In a cross of EfeF to efef, what percentage of the offspring should have elongated wings and five stripes?

Answer:

12%

Explanation:

The genes E/e and F/f are 24 cM apart.

  • E_: elongated wings
  • ee: small wings
  • F_: five stripes
  • ff: four stripes

A distance of 24 cM means that the frequency of recombination between the two genes is 24%.

The cross Ef/eF x ef/ef would produce the following offspring:

  • Ef/ef: Parental; elongated wings and four stripes
  • eF/ef: Parental; small wings and five stripes
  • EF/ef: Recombinant; elongated wings and five stripes
  • ef/ef: Recombinant; small wings and four stripes

The total percentage of recombinant gametes is 24%, and there are two possible recombinant gametes, so each of them appears in 12% of the cases.

The individuals with elongated wings and five stripes have the recombinant genotype EF/ef, therefore the percentage of the offspring with this phenotype is 12%.

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:Thirty years ago, 45 out of 200 individuals, or 22.5% of individuals, were at least 1.2 meters tall. Presently, 50.5% of individuals are at least 1.2 meters tall. Meanwhile, individuals below 1.2 meters in height have decreased significantly between the two years of data. This data supports the argument that directional selection is occurring.

When similar biological traits evolve in unrelated species due to similar environmental constraints, ____________ is said to hav
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Convergent Evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution occurs when two unrelated species that have no common ancestor evolve independently in order to adapt to a similar environmental constraints to ensure survival.

An example of convergent evolution can be seen in birds, bats, flight/wing insects. They all do not share a common ancestor, but have evolved, separately, a similar structure for flight.

Another example can be seen in dolphins and sharks. These two different species share similar physical characteristics that make them adapt well in marine habitat that helps them to predate .

blsea [12.9K]
The little dots collected from under the fern leaves are spores, not seeds. Ferns are different from seed-bearing plants in that ferns in a sexless way through sporophyte generation. Spores dropped from or taken from grown fern leaves have developed prothallium. Each prothallium generates male and female organs in what is called the gametophyte stage. When fertilization of the female gametophyte happens, small fern plants or leaflets start to grow.
