Answer:
a. Ed/eD
b. RF=0.12
Explanation:
The alleles for genes D/d and E/e are:
- D_: only on neck spikes
- dd: along back spikes
- E_: long spikes
- ee: short spikes
After testcrossing a double heterozygote (DdEe x ddee) there are 4 types of offspring, two of them much more abundant than the other two. The homozygous recessive parent can only produce <em>ed</em> gametes, so the phenotypes of the offspring depend on the gametes that the double heterozygous parent produced.
The offspring was:
- Ed/ed 79
- ed/ed 12
- ED/ed 10
- eD/ed 76
Total: 177
a) This result suggests that the genes are linked. Since recombination is a rare event, the most abundant phenotypes always come from the parental gametes, and the least abundant come from the recombinant gametes.
<u>Therefore, the genotype of the doube heterozygote parent was </u><u><em>Ed/eD</em></u><u>.</u>
b) Recombination frequency (RF) = Recombinants / Total
RF = (12+10)/177
<u>RF = 0.12</u>
Adaptation, inherited traits that increase an organism's chance of survival, also determine an organism's niche.
Adaptations are features or behaviors exhibited by organisms and are usually common in a population. Adaptations evolve by natural selection and they fit organisms to their environment. Adaptations have functional roles and may be physiological, structural or behavioral. The long necks of giraffes for feeding in the tops of trees, and the long canine teeth of carnivores are examples of adaptation.
<span>Poorly worded questions are a frequent cause of errors in polls. When questions are worded in strange ways, people often misunderstand them and respond incorrectly to the question causing an error in the polling data. Often, people respond oppositely to what they would normally say due to misinterpretation.</span>
The two things aspects of proteins that are determined by the amino acids and their sequence are the chemical properties and the 3-Dimensional structure of the proteins. Proteins are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Proteins are made up of hundreds of smaller units called amino acids that are attached to one another by peptide bonds, forming a long chain.
