Fossil evidence indicates that several kinds of flightless dinosaurs possessed feathers. If some of these feather-bearing dinosaurs incubated clutches of eggs in carefully constructed nests, this might be evidence supporting the claim that

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. dinosaurs were as fully endothermal (warm-blooded) as modern birds and mammals.

  2. their feathers originally served as insulation, and only later became flight surfaces.

  3. the earliest reptiles could fly, and the feathers of flightless dinosaurs were vestigial flight surfaces.

  4. the feathers were plucked from the bodies of other adults to provide nest-building materials.

geneticist is working with a new bacteriophage called phage Y3 that infects E. coli. He has isolated eight mutant phages that fail to produce plaques when grown on E. coli strain K. To determine whether these mutations occur at the same functional gene, he simultaneously infects E. coli K cells with paired combinations of the mutants and looks to see whether plaques are formed. He obtains the following results. (A plussign means that plaques were formed on E. coli K; a minussign means that no plaques were formed on E. coli K.)

In the pearl millet plant, color is determined by three alleles at a single locus: Rp1 (red), Rp2 (purple), and Rp3 (green). Red is dominant over purple and green, and purple is dominant over green (Rp1 >Rp2 >Rp3). Which of the following parental cross would produce ½ had red, ¼ purple, ¼ green?
