Cinnabar eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are autosomal recessive characters in Drosophila. A homozygous wild-type female was crossed to a reduced, cinnabar male, and the F1 males were then crossed to the F1 females to obtain the F2. Of the 400 F2 offspring obtained, 292 were wild type, 9 were cinnabar, 7 were reduced, and 92 were reduced and cinnabar.

Remainder of question

If these genes assorted independently, what phenotypic ratio would you expect for f2?

For Mendelian inheritance of 2 traits where alleles are independently assorted, we would expect a ratio of 9:3:3:1.

Explanation:

Lets denote the dominant allele as cn+ and the recessive as cn (and rd+ and rn)

The F1 generation would all be cn+cn / rd+rd

There are 4 possible gamete variations for each parent: cn+rd+, cnrd, cn+rd or cnrd+

Independent assortment of these gametes produces 16 possible diploid variations. 9 of these will have the wild type (WT) phenotype, 3 will be WT eyes but reduced bristles, 3 will be WT bristles but cinnabar eyes, and 1 will have reduced bristles and cinnabar eyes.

This can be demonstrated using a punnet square for a dihybrid cross.

For 400 offspring, that means there will be:

WT: 400/ 16 * 9 = 225

WT eyes but reduced bristles: 400/16 * 3 = 75

WT bristles but cinnabar eyes: 400/16 * 3 = 75

reduced bristles and cinnabar eyes: 400/16 * 1 = 25

after receiving a stimus, the sensory receptors send(s) signals to the appropriate area of the body.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
