suppose that for sexually active male drosophila fruit flies in a particular genetic lab, the mean lifespan is 38.9 days, with a standard deviation of 12.0 days. When she experimentally removed all female from a simple random sample of 24 drosophila male flies in this lab, a researcher found that the 24 sexually inactive males had a mean lifespan of 62.5 days, with a standard deviation of 14.1 days. Answer the questions below about the experiment about testing whether sexually activity significantly affects the mean lifespan of Drosophila males. a. in this experiment what was the independent variable? b. in this experiment what was the dependent variable?

in a randomly mating laboratory population of Drosophila, 4% of the flies have black bodies, and 96% have brown bodies. Flies with brown bodies always have at least one parent with a brown body. What is the frequency of heterozygotes in this population? 0.04 0.16 0.08 0.32 The period gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes for a stretch of Thr-Gly repeated in tandem. In natural populations, the three most common alleles encode for 17, 20 and 23 Thr-Gly repeats. The amplification by PCR of the allele encoding for 20 Thr-Gly repeats produces a fragment of 320 bp. Using the same set of primers, what is the size expected when amplifying the 17 Thr-Gly allele? 317 303 314 302 in a certain species of plant loci A, B and C have an additive effect on the colour of the flower. Alleles A, B, and C are dominant and alleles a, b and c are recessive. Knowing that a plant with genotype AAbbCc has a…
What is the genetic distance between the eye colour locus (w) and the bristle locus (sn)? answer in Mu (Map units) and to 2 decimal places? The following table summarises the results of the 2022-2023 Drosophila three-point cross involving the loci white eyes (w), miniature wings (m) and singed bristles (sn). The data is also available in the Excel file 'Drosophila Counts 2022-2023'.

Honey bee workers from a colony in North Carolina are visiting two food sites, A and B, at 6 am as shown below. Site A is 1500 m from the hive; site B is 300 m from the hive. Which of the following statements is true regarding the genetic basis of the bees’ ability to track the passage of time and compensate for the movement of the sun? a. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on the Amfor gene, which causes a build up of AMFOR protein in the corpora pedunculata that activates the Gp9 and UU genes, whose products degrade AMFOR in a 24 hour cycle. b. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on the per gene in the optic lobes, whose activity has a 24 hour cycle regulated by the dbt and tim genes. c. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on alternating expression of two alleles for the for gene in the subesophagael ganglion: the R allele which is active at night and the s allele which is active during the day. d. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on levels of eclosion hormone released from…
Assume that the genes for yellow body and mini wings are 35 map units apart on chromosome I in Drosophila. Assume also that a yellow-bodied female was mated to a mini-winged male and that the resulting F1 phenotypically wild-type females were mated to yellow-bodied, mini-winged males. Of 600 offspring, what would be the expected number of wild-type offspring? 210 195 105 390 The answer is NOT 195.
You discover a new X-linked mutation for antenna shape in Drosophila (fruit flies) which produces long antennae. You call this new allele long (XL2), and discover it is incompletely dominant with the short antennae allele (XL1), meaning that heterozygotes have antennae that are intermediate in length. In your laboratory population, 9% of the males have long antennae. Assuming your population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of females would you expect to have intermediate antennae? Answer choices: 0.50 0.90 0.83 0.0081 0.16
In the F2 generation, 306 rabbits with red eyes and 71 with a white eye phenotype suppose the calculated x2 value is 0.35. Find the x2 range using the distribution chart. What is the p-value range? using these information do you accept or reject the null hypothesis? The distribution chart is attached below.
Because offspring inherit the mitochondrial genome only from the mother, evolutionarily the mitochondrial genome in males encounters a dead end. The mitochondrial genome in males has no significant impact on the genetic information of future generations. Scientists have proposed that this can result in an accumulation of mutations that have a negative impact on genetic fitness of males but not females. Experiments with Drosophila support this possibility. What experimental data or evidence would you want to evaluate or consider to determine if an accumulation of mtDNA mutations negatively impacts the fitness of males of any species?
Suppose Jonathan breeds flowers and wants to optimize production of offspring with both short stems and white flowers, which are coded for by two genes with the recessive alleles t and p, respectively. In flowers, T codes for tall stems and P codes for purple flowers. Jonathan crosses two heterozygotes that produce 544544 offspring. How many of these 544544 offspring are predicted to have both short stems and white flowers? please help solve and please explain thank you
Suppose that the probability of survival of the three different types of diploid individuals in mosquitoes, as a result of the drug, is given by the constants WRR, WRS, and WSS. What are the frequencies of the three different types after this differential survival?

We have been told that all three loci are on the X chromosome; however, as scientists, we shouldn't simply take someone else's word for it - we need to test whether our data does, in fact, indicate linkage.As a first step, we will therefore conduct a chi-square test in order to test our data against the null hypothesis of independent assortment (i.e., "no…
Propose a hypotheses for this observation: In a study conducted by an undergraduate student, he obtained data showing that approximately 75% of the European Northern human population demonstrate the expression of a phenotype directly associated with the homozygous dominant genotype, while 25% display the mutant phenotype despite their genotypes being homozygous dominant.
