You measure the recombination frequency between two genes using a testcross between a double heterozygote and a double recessive

homozygote, as is standard practice. You obtain four progeny classes, as expected, and from them you calculate a recombination frequency of 70%. You realize that you must have misidentified the parental and recombinant progeny. Why?

Explanation:

When analyzing two linked genes there are 2 possibilities: either there is recombination between them during meiosis or there is no recombination. Crossing over happens during meiosis I, when each chromosome has two sister chromatids.

If no recombination happens, the 4 resulting gametes will be parental.

If recombination happens, 2 gametes will be parental and 2 gametes will be recombinant. For that reason, the maximum recombination frequency between two genes that can be calculated is 50% (recombination frequency = recombinants/total).

slava [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) logistic

Explanation:

Logistic growth occurs during a population growth when the resources are limiting. During logistic growth sigmoid (S-shaped) growth curve is produced when population size is placed over time.  

In logistic growth first the population increases slowly then after some time it increase on the logarithmic phase until it levels off near the maximum carrying capacity due to environmental resistance. Beyond this maximum carrying capacity growth rate does not increase and becomes constant.

This generates an s-shaped curve called a sigmoid curve which shows the logistic growth. So the correct answer is c.
