The distance between two adjacent crests of a transverse wave?

Biology
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
6 0


The distance between two adjacent crests of a transverse wave is called the wavelength.

Wavelength is a property of a wave that can be spotted and used as a way of telling waves apart. The parts of the wave that point up are termed crests while any part that is sloping called a trough.

Wavelength is measured in meters. There is no definite spot  from which to start on a wave to measure wavelength. The most popular way of measuring wavelength is from crest to the next crest but can also be measured just as accurately from trough to trough.

A dihybrid cross produces 30 recombinant offspring out of a total of 1,000 offspring. What is the recombination frequency of the
uranmaximum [27]

The recombination frequency of the two gene pairs is 3%.

The number of recombinant offspring(r.o.) / total number of offspring x 100% = recombination frequency(θ):

r.o./total x 100% = θ

30/100 x 100% = 3%

Recombinant offspring are children that have a different allele combination to their parents.

For example, say a mother has a haploid cell with the alleles AB and the father has a haploid cell with the alleles ab. These combine to make a diploid cell with the sequence Aa+Bb.

Formation of Recombinant Offspring :

Recombination can happen in two different ways; independent assortment and crossing over.

  • Independent assortment is when the maternal and parental DNA are mixed during meiosis, creating a new gene sequence.
  • Crossing over happens during the first stage of meiosis when the two homologous chromosomes are paired and a portion breaks off on the same loci then reconnects to a different end. Crossing over can only happen when there isn't a physical linkage of the parental alleles.

Recombination frequency (θ) is the frequency with which a single chromosomal crossover will take place between two genes during meiosis. A centimorgan (cM) is a unit that describes a recombination frequency of 1%. In this way we can measure the genetic distance between two loci, based upon their recombination frequency. This is a good estimate of the real distance. Double crossovers would turn into no recombination. In this case we cannot tell if crossovers took place. If the loci we're analysing are very close (less than 7 cM) a double crossover is very unlikely. When distances become higher, the likelihood of a double crossover increases. As the likelihood of a double crossover increases we systematically underestimate the genetic distance between two loci.

When two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

Is it likely that you will be able to permanently alleviate Jessica's symptoms? Why or Why not?
marusya05 [52]

Jessica's symptoms of endometriosis can't be alleviated as its return could be experienced.

<h3>What is Endometriosis?</h3>

This is a disorder which occurs when tissue that is similar to the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of it.

It is characterized by pain and menstrual irregularities symptoms and is usually managed through hormone therapy as the symptoms can't be permanently alleviated.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C. Disruptive Selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.  

The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.  

The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.  

Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators

Which of the following are useful traits of cloning vectors?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.

Explanation:

A cloning vector is a small segment of DNA that can be established stably in an individual organism and able to internalize a foreign DNA for cloning purposes. The cloning vector could be taken from different organisms such as plasmid of a bacterium, or DNA from a virus. A cloning vector must possess some characteristics -  

The cloning vector must be self-replicating ability in the host cells, it should be small in size with restriction site for the restriction endonuclease enzymes in it. The replication character of the vector should not interfere with the internalized DNA fragment. The presence of marker genes in the vector is also a property that is helpful in identifying of recombinant cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.
