The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h ) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings (homozygous) and a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings and normal body hair (homozygous). The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 offspring. How many of the F2 flies would you expect to have normal wings and a hairy body?

A 65 year-old male presents to the Emergency Department (ED) following a fall at home. Two days following admission you receive a consult for a bedside evaluation of speech-language and swallowing function. Based on chart review, his neurological exam is significant for: Adequate force through the orofacial structures. Reduced speed of appendicular and axial movement, reduced range of motion, and difficulty initiating movements across orofacial structures. A. Based on this limited case history, name the lesion and associated disorder (2 points).
