Chapter 37.5, Problem 12SAQ
Summary Introduction

To draw:

The path of blood flow through heart, lungs, and body of a fish, mammals, or bird.

Introduction:

Blood is a fluid which has the property of flowing through different pathways inside the body of an organism. Blood has several components such as RBCs, WBCs, platelets and plasma. Blood act as a carrier for different types of materials like, nutrients, waste products, gases like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide.

Fig.2: The blood flow diagram in mammals or in birds.

The pathway of blood flow in the fish is given in the diagram above. In fishes, the deoxygenated blood enters into the heart, first it goes into the atrium and then, it enters into the ventricle. From the heart it enters into the gills where the blood becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood goes to the all parts of the body tissues. From the body tissues is returns back to the heart.

In mammals or birds the deoxygenated blood enters into the heart through vena cava and goes to the right atrium followed by the right ventricle. From the right ventricle, the blood is entered into the lungs by the pulmonary artery. The blood is now oxygenated and enters into the left atrium followed by the left ventricle. The oxygenated blood comes out of the heart through the aorta and is transported to the rest of the body.

Conclusion

The blood is fluid in nature which continuously flows in the body of an organism like fishes, birds and mammals through a number of blood vessels present in the body.

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:   Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8   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?
