Summary Introduction

Introduction: The human eye is a sensory organ. It reacts with light and permits the light perception, depth perception and color vision. Magnification can be defined as the process of intensifying not physical size but the visible size, of something. This amplification is quantified by a calculated number. When this value is less than one then it is known as a reduction in size. It is known as the de-magnification or minification.

Answer to Problem 1PL

Correct answer: 

The correct answer is the option (c). 0.1 millimeter.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer: 

Option (c). 0.1 millimeter. According to research, humans can see objects small as approximate 0.1 millimeters about the regular vision. It is exclusive of the help of any tools. The smallest things humans can see are human hair and lice with the help of their eyes. Both of these objects could be viewed with the naked eye and under a microscope. Hence, the option (c) is correct.

Explanation for the correct answer: 

Option (a) one inch. It can easily be seen with naked eyes as inch is a larger than a centimeter. Hence, the option (a) is incorrect. 

Option (b) one millimeter. It is the smallest unit in a centimeter. Hence, the option (b) is incorrect. 

Option (d) One centimeter. It consisite of 10 millimeter subunits. Hence, the option (d) is incorrect.

Conclusion

According to research, humans can see objects small as approximate 0.1 millimeters about the regular vision. It is exclusive of the help of any tools. Hence, the option (c) is correct.

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?
