dlinn [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Index fossil that is also known as indicator fossil is used to determine the age of the layers of the rocks. It says that the new layer of sedimentary rocks lie over the old layer.

The deeper we go, the older the rocks we will find. Index fossil of animals that lived or survived only for a short period of time are very useful. An example of index fossil can be Ammonites that were found in Mesozoic era that was about 25-35 million years ago.

A study is done on a group of families in Sweden that are segregating a genetic disorder. A statistical estimate of whether two
sammy [17]

Answer:

This disorder is caused by mutations in either of two different genes; one of these genes is linked to the DNA marker locus and the other gene is not.

Explanation:

A gene marker (also known as a molecular marker) is defined as a particular DNA sequence that has a specific physical location on a given chromosome. The gene markers are always physically linked with genes of interest, thereby they are useful for identifying patients affected by a given disease and/or a particular phenotypic trait. In this case, in the first study, genetic variation of the marker has been shown to be useful to map one <em>locus</em> that is associated with the disease phenotype. However, in the second study, a second <em>locus</em> that is not linked to the marker can segregate independently, thereby showing different results from the first study (in this case, it is imperative to develop a new genetic linkage analysis to discover genetic markers linked to the second gene, which is also responsible for the disease phenotype).
