Most alleles of the Drosophila cut (ct) gene are stable. For example, all progeny from crossing ct1 to ct2 to yield ct1 /ct2 heterozygotes have "cut" wings. ct1 is a strong allele with severe cutting of the wings. ct2 and another allele, ctMR2, are weaker with only moderate cutting of the wings. When ctMR2 homozygotes are crossed to ct1 homozygotes, three kinds of progeny are produced, 95% have a moderate cutting of the wings (as expected for ctMR2 / ct1 ), 2.5% have wild-type wings and 2.5% have more severe cut wings like ct1 homozygotes. a) How do you explain the high frequency of reversion to wild-type? b) How do you explain the high frequency of progeny with the more severe cut phenotype?

Which of the following describes a negative feedback loop? when the heart rate is too high, the body sends hormones that continually increase the heart rate higher. when a pregnant woman is in labor, the body sends hormones that increase the intensity of contractions, which then increases the secretion of the same hormones. when blood sugar is too low, the body sends hormones that raise blood sugar until it reaches a typical level and hormone secretion slows. when a person is jogging, the body sends hormones that continually decrease the rate of oxygen supply to the legs.
