Consider the sex-linked inheritance patterns of a cross between two flies, a white-eyed female (XWX) and a red-
eyed male( xWY). In this case, the inheritance of a sex-linked trait, only the female flies would have red eyes. If this
gene were on a non-sex chromosome, or autosome, what would be the expected outcome for offspring eye color?
There is a 50:50 chance that fly offspring will have red eyes or
white eyes.
Red eyes are not gender specific and 100% of the offspring
would have red eyes.
100% of the male offspring would have red eyes and 50% of the
female offspring would have red eyes.
D)
Red eyes are not gender specific. Depending on the genotype of
the male fly, WW or Ww, either 100% or 50% of the offspring
would have red eyes.

Red eyes are not gender specific and 100% of the offspring

would have red eyes would have red eyes if the gene were on autosome.

Explanation:

If the eye colour is not sex-linked and the traits are on the autosomes.

Genotype for male = XWY or XwY

Genotype for female = XWXW, XWXw. XwXw

Punnet square:

cross between red eye male and white eye male

         XW      Y    

XW XWXW  XWY

XW XWXW  XWY  all oofspring red eye

cross between white eye male and red eye female

           Xw      Y

XW   XWXw  XWY

Xw    XwXw  XwY      1 red male:1 white male: 1 red male : 1 white female

if mother has recessive gene all the male will be white eyed.

all the female progeny will have red eye because father had dominant red eye.

The red eye is dominant over white hence dominant trait will appear.

the types of mutations include: missense mutation: this type of mutation is a change in one dna base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. nonsense mutation: a nonsense mutation is also a change in one dna base pair.

explanation:

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
