Question 12
Question
Thomas Morgan was convinced Gregor Mendel's theory was correct because
Answer
-
Charles Darwin said so
-
he could match the white gene mutation on the X chromosome in Drosophila
-
He found polytene chromosome banding patterns in Drosophila
-
He recognized Frances Crick and James Wason's double helix structure of DNA
Question 13
Question
The Drosophila hedgehog (hh) gene was discovered in the 1980s. It is an important gene that encodes a secreted protein to regulate limb formation. Which of the statements below is incorrect?
Answer
-
The fly hh mutants would likely show phenotype on fly wings
-
The fly hh mutants would likely show the phenotype on fly eyes
-
The hh gene is unique to Drosophila, no other animals have hh gene or its homolog
