what is the order of three genes (x, y, and z) that are located on the same chromosome, based on the following information? gene

s x and y have a recombination frequency of 17%. genes y and z have a recombination frequency of 9%. genes x and z have a recombination frequency of 8%.

The recombination frequency between genes is useful to determine the distance between genes and their order in the chromosome. The correct order of genes in this chromosome is X-Z-Y.

<h3>What is the recombination frequency?</h3>

Recombination frequency refers to the probability of crossing-over events occurrence between two genes. There farther genes are from each other, the greater recombination frequency there will be.

Recombination frequencies are also used to determine the distance between genes, and if they are linked or not.

So, if we know the recombination frequencies, we can calculate the distances between the genes and figure the genes' order out.

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which one of the 100 meiotic products results in a recombinant one.

1% of recombination frequency, RF = 1 Map Unit, MU = 1 centiMorgan, cM

Now let us analyze the data

  • Three genes ⇒ X, Y, Z.
  • Distance between X-Y = 17% = 17 MU
  • Distance between Y-Z = 9% = 9 MU
  • Distance between X-Z = 8% = 8 MU

When the RF is given, we already have the distance between genes.

Now, to put these genes in order, we need to look for the most distant genes. These are probably the ones placed at the extremes of the chromosomal fragment.

In this case, the most distant genes are X-Y. So,

---------X-----------------Y---------

                  17 MU

Then, we need to place the remaining genes, which are probably between the two extremes genes. To be sure of this position, the addition of these middle genes must equal the distance between the extreme genes.

In our example, we only have one remaining gene Z.

  • The distance from X to Z = 8 MU
  • The distance from Y to Z = 9 MU
  • 9 MU + 8 MU = 17 MU which is the distance between X and Y (extreme genes)

-----------X-------------Z----------------------Y---------

           ║----8MU---║------- 9 MU -----║

           ║-------------17 MU ---------------║

So, according to this reasoning, the correct order of genes in this chromosome is X-Z-Y.

How can you tell a vein from other structures in the leaf?
nevsk [136]
You can tell the vein from the others by holding the leaf up to a light. This makes the leaf a bit see through and the veins will be clearly visible as they do not become semi-transperent. You can also put paper on top of the leaf and rub gently over the paper with crayon to see the veins. They will make darker or lighter lines on the paper depending on if you have the leaf facing up or down.

A cell undergoing cell division identifies a chromosomal misalignment. How does this normally affect the progress of the cell cy
telo118 [61]

When a cell undergoing cellular division identifies that a chromosome misalignment had taken place the cell cycle stops until the error it's corrected.

Option two of the question states that the cell cycle will <u>proceed uncontrollably, this is not the case for the error at hand</u>. Although this can be a problem for cells and leads to the appearance of cancer, it is not caused by chromosome misalignment. As is the case with options 3 and 4.

The stop or delay in the <u>cell cycle is what normally takes place in these situations.</u> This stoppage is done by the <em><u>spindle checkpoint</u></em>, which prevents <u>duplicate chromosomes from separating.</u>

During this time, the error it's corrected. If a cell is not able to correct the error at this time, many situations can follow. <u>However, the most likely is that the cell will undergo a <em>programmed cellular death.</em> </u>
