Imagine you collected bacteria from the sediment in a frozen lake in Minnesota in January and compared the membranes to membranes from bacteria collected from a lake in Texas in June. Consider how the membranes would likely differ. The membranes in bacteria from the Minnesota lake would most likely have which of the following?

a. more saturated lipid tails than membranes in Texas bacteria

b. fewer lipid tails with cis-double bonds than membranes in Texas bacteria

c. more unsaturated lipid tails than membranes in Texas bacteria

d. phospholipids with more negatively charged phosphate groups than membranes in Texas bacteria

The answer would be c, white eyes are homozygous recessive. in the early 1900s, morgan conducted several experiments with vinegar  flies (drosophila). one  sample revealed an anomaly: a  white-eyed, single male fly. he attempted to breed this fly with the typical red-eyed females. the offspring were all red-eyed. using flies from this new generation (brother-sister pairs)  produced some red-eyed and a few white-eyed flies. the white-eyed were all male. in later experiments, he was able to produce white-eyed females. this proved that white eyes are not lethal to either sex (ruling out a and b). since the percentage of white eyes to red eyes is so low, white eyes are not a dominant trait. it would be a recessive trait.
