Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To determine: the science of microbiology studies.
Introduction: A human eye can have vision of objects that are about 0.1 millimeters. Objects that are smaller than this cannot be viewed under a normal eye but can be viewed with the help of a microscope. Micro-organisms are such small living organisms that are less than 0.1 mm and can be seen only under suitable microscopes.
Explanation of Solution
As the term indicates, microbiology is the science that involves the study of a variety of micro-organisms including bacteria, virus, archae, prions, and protozoa. It involves their habitat, classification, and both harmful and beneficial aspects of the microbes. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek is known as “the father of microbiology” due to his contributions to this field.

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type. From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results:

Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes.
Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?
What happens to a microbes membrane at colder temperature?
Genes at loci f, m, and w are linked, but their order is unknown. The F1 heterozygotes from a cross of FFMMWW x ffmmww are test crossed. The most frequent phenotypes in the test cross progeny will be FMW and fmw regardless of what the gene order turns out to be.
What classes of testcross progeny (phenotypes) would be least frequent if locus m is in the middle?
What classes would be least frequent if locus f is in the middle?
What classes would be least frequent if locus w is in the middle?
