Explanation:

A virus refers to a microscopic particle, which can infect the biological organism's cells. Viruses possess the tendency to replicate themselves only by infecting a host cell, that is, within the cells, thus, it cannot multiply on their own.

At the most fundamental level, the viruses comprise genetic substance constituted within a protective protein coat known as a capsid. The prevalence of both the genetic substances and the presence of protein differentiates them from another virus like components like viroids and prions.

Answer:

Explanation:

Parental combinations are always more common then other recombinant progenies.

A female fly is heterozygous for three X-linked genes crossed with an abc/Y male. . If single crossover occurs between a & b and between b & c, then the double cross is that, which occurs in both.

Double cross over progeny are always least in number, so here double cross occurs are in abC 14 and ABc 16.

So we are expecting that number of double cross over progeny= (14+16)/1000 *100= 3
