Answer #1

Fisher projection shows stereo-chemistry around a stereo-centre (chirality centre) in two dimension form.

D-Glyceraldehyde have one chiral centre (C2), molecule is viewed from top and Horizontal line in Fisher projection drawn as wedge (solid lines) and vertical lines are drawn as dashed lines. If, a molecule have more than one chirality centre, than chirality centres shown connected by a line with each other.

Wedge and dash diagram of D-glyceraldehyde is shown as :
