In German cockroaches, a curved wing (cv) is recessive to a normal wing (cv+). A homozygous cockroach that has normal wings is crossed with a homozygous cockroach that has curved wings. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Assume that the pair of chromosomes containing the locus for wing shape is metacentric. Draw this pair of chromosomes as it would appear in the parents, the F1, and each class of F2 progeny at metaphase I of meiosis.

1. the passing of is the basis of heredity. 2. our encode the instructions that define our traits. 3. each of us has thousands of genes, which are made of and reside in our chromosomes. 4. in addition to our genes, the we live in also define our traits. 5. humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. 6. when parents conceive a child, each parent contributes set of chromosomes. 7. every child receives of its chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. 8. this transfer takes place at when the father’s sperm joins the mother’s egg. 9. while most cells in our bodies have two sets of chromosomes, or a total of egg and sperm each have chromosomes. 10. when egg and sperm unite they create a single cell called a 11. each parent contributes complete set of chromosomes to their child. 12. since the parents contribute the chromosomes to each new child, every child inherits a unique set of chromosomes. 13. as a result, every baby will have a combination of traits.

What's wrong with this ecological pyramid? (multiple choice)1. secondary consumers should be at the bottom of the pyramid2. the sun has an arrow leading to decomposers 3. primary consumers should come after the sun4. energy retained should increase from the bottom to the top5. the sun should be at the bottom of the pyramid
