a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The genotypes, phenotypes and expected proportions of the F1 and F2 generation. When a “homozygous gray female” is crossed with a yellow male and F1 are intercrossed to produce F2 progeny.

Introduction:

Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly, these species is known generally as the common fruit fly or vinegar fly. They have XX-XO system of sex determination, females possess two X chromosomes, whereas male possess a single X chromosome.

Biology Question
✓ Details Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.
