you are measuring recombination between three genes: dbt, mfn2 and aspm. the recombination fraction between the dbt and mfn2 is

15% and between mfn2 and aspm is 18%. however, the recombination fraction between dbt and aspm is slightly smaller than, but close to, 33%. what is the best explanation for this?

The best explanation for this is 2.When looking atypBT and ASPM, some individuals counted as parental are actually double recombinant

The sum of the two intervening distances is larger than the distance between the outside genes DBT and ASPM (less than 33 map units). Why? because not all of the recombination events (double crossovers) are taken into account by the calculated distance between DBT and ASPM.

Thus, the map distance would have been greater if there were more double recombinants. Again, the map distance would decrease if the number of parents was higher. The map distance is lower here than anticipated. This indicates that the number of parents is higher than it ought to be.

Therefore, the best choice is 2.

You are measuring recombination between three genes: DBT, MEN2 and ASPM. The recombination fraction between the DBT and MFN2 is 15% and between MFN2 and ASPM is 18%: However, the recombination fraction between DBT and ASPM is slightly smaller than, but close to, 33%. What is the best explanation for this?

  1. One of these genes may be on different chromosomes than the other two but this fact is masked because of double recombinants
  2. When looking atypBT and ASPM, some individuals counted as parental are actually double recombinant
  3. When looking at DBT and ASPM, some individuals counted as double recombinants are actually parental
  4. DBT and ASPM actually assort independently

How to solve these questions
malfutka [58]

Answer:

(i) An allele is a variant of a gene, can either be short or tall.

Dominant = the tall allele that "trumps" the short allele. if a dominant and recessive allele is present (heterozygous) then the dominant phenotype will be shown.

(ii) David's eyes are Brown

(iii) Sarah's eyes are blue

(iv) David - B, b

Sarah - b, b

(v) Possible genotypes include Bb and bb. These give the phenotypes of brown eyes or blue eyes.

(vi) The chance for blue eyes is 50% (or 1:1 ratio)

What is one difference between ion channels and ion pumps​
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Ion pumps can be distinguished from ion channels on the basis that ion pumps actively transport ions against a concentration gradient, while ion channels allow ions to passively flow down a concentration gradient.

Oxidation reactions in biological systems generally involve:
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Loss of electrons and hydrogen ions are generally involved in oxidation reactions in biological systems

Explanation:

The substrates involved in the oxidation reaction in biological systems often loss hydrogen ion detached from itself and thereafter an electron is removed. The substrates are then oxidized by the addition of oxygen to the substrates.

These processes are catalyzed by Oxidoreductases and oxidation takes place alongside with reduction.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:
