3. As a geneticist who is working on a solution for the corn borer problem, you need to review concepts in genetics
including how genes are inherited, selective breeding, the
development of resistance to a pesticide within a
population, and genetic engineering.
Explain the role of DNA and chromosomes in passing
traits from parents to offspring. Why is this concept
important to completing this project?
Include in your answer an overview of the replication,
transcription, and translation processes and discuss how
they are related to each other. Explain how the pest
control in corn crops affects these processes leading to
mutations and genetic variation.

There would be one bar shorter than the bar for peaches.

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.
