In Drosophila, the allele red eyes (bw+) is dominant to the allele for brown eyes (bw). At another gene locus on the same chromosome, the allele for thin wing veins (hv+) is dominant to the allele for heavy wing veins (hv). Flies homozygous for bw and hv+ are crossed to flies homozygous for bw+ and hv to obtain doubly heterozygous F1 progeny.What would be the results of a test cross with the F1 flies?

A. 1 brown eye, heavy wing veins: 1 red eye, thin wing veins
B. 1 brown eye, heavy wing veins: 2 red eye, thin wing veins: 1 red eye, thin wing veins
C. 1 brown eye, thin wing veins: 2 red eye, thin wing veins: 1 red eye, heavy wing veins
D. 1 brown eye, thin wing veins: 1 red eye, heavy wing veins

Glucose is converted into glucose 6-phosphate by hexokinase.  Glucose 6-phosphate then serves as the substrate for the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase, which converts this reactant into fructose 6-phosphate. Fructose 6-phosphate serves as the substrate for phosphofructokinase, which converts fructose 6-phosphate into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.  Based on the information provided, this is an example of what?

A. Feedback inhibition B. A metabolic pathway C. Allosteric regulation D. Enzyme inhibition
