Linkage refers to the tendency of inhertance of the DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome during the meiosis of sexual reproduction. It can be measured by the recombination frequency.

Recombination frequency describes the proportion of recombinant offsrpring produced in a genetic cross between two organisms. It is the frequency with which a single chromosomal cross over takesplace between two genes during the process of meiosis. Recombination frequency (RF) is given by

RF= Recombinants /total offspring  x 100.

In the above example, the number of recombinant offspring is 20 and the total offspring is 400. By substituting these values,

RF= 20/400 x100

= 5.

The recombination frequency for the above cross is 5.

Answer:

The ability of caffeine to inhibit adenosine receptors, plays a very important role in heightened alertness and sleeplessness.

Explanation:

"<em><u>Caffeine</u></em>" (<em>1,3,7-trimethylxanthine</em>) is an alkaloid obtained from plants. It has a chemical formula of C8H10N4O2.

Caffeine is generally <em>hydrophillic</em> but sufficiently <em>lipophilic</em> to pass through all biological membranes and readily cross the blood-brain barrier.

Therefore can bind with the adenosine receptors. Due to the blocking of adenosine inhibitory effects through its receptors held by paraxanthine and caffeine, it indirectly affects the release of <u>norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, glutamate</u> e.t.c.

The release of the above-mentioned hormones have a great impact on the heightened alertness of the body, especially <em>dopamine</em> and <em>serotonin</em>.

What happens to an object when heat is added to it?
Fantom [35]
When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more.
