The maternal effect Drosophila mutation bicoid (bcd -
) is recessive. A
female that is bcd
-
/bcd
+
is mated to a bcd
-
/bcd
- male. What is the outcome?
A) 50% of the eggs will hatch, and these will produce fertile adults
B) no eggs will hatch
C) all eggs hatch, but 50% of the resulting daughters produce eggs
that fail to hatch
D) it is impossible to get a bcd
-
/bcd
- male, so this mating can not
occur
E) 50% of eggs will hatch, but half the female offspring will be infertile

volcanoes (an event in the geosphere) release a large amount of particulate matter into the atmosphere. these particles serve as nuclei for the formation of water droplets (hydrosphere). rainfall (hydrosphere) often increases following an eruption, stimulating plant growth (biosphere).

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.

the correct answer is b

well for one plants are always the producer, so a is the answer. a wolf is more of the consumer(predator) and the deer is the prey so i know those two are out of the question. also mushrooms are fungi/fungus so a is the producer.
