Light alerts the biological clock to slow down the secretion of melatonin hormone that promotes sleep. Melatonin hormone is a hormone that is produced by the pineal gland in animals and regulates sleep and wakefulness. . The hormone is used to regulate night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles, darkness causes the body to produce more melatonin, which signals the body to prepare for sleep. Light decreases melatonin production and signals the body to prepare being awake.

If A/A ⋅ B/B is crossed with a/a ⋅ b/b and the F1 is testcrossed, what percentage of the testcross progeny will be a/a ⋅ b/b if
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) 25%; b) 50%; c) 45%; d) 38%

Explanation:

<h3 /><h3>a) Unlinked genes</h3>

A/A B/B X a/a b/b

F1: A/a B/b

Testcross A/a B/b X a/a b/b

The homozygous recessive individual only produces <em>ab</em><em> </em>gametes.

The F1 produces four types of gametes (each of them with a frequency of 1/4):  <em>AB</em>, <em>Ab</em>, <em>aB </em>and <em>ab</em>.

25% of the progeny will be a/a b/b.

<h3>b) Completely linked genes</h3>

AB/AB X ab/ab

F1: AB/ab

Testcross AB/ab X ab/ab

The F1 produces only two types of gametes, the parentals (each of them with a frequency of 1/2):  <em>AB</em> and <em>ab</em>.

50% of the progeny will be ab/ab.

<h3>c) 10 m.u. apart</h3>

AB/AB X ab/ab

F1: AB/ab

Testcross AB/ab X ab/ab

The F1 produces four types of gametes, the parentals <em>AB</em> and <em>ab </em>and the recombinants <em>Ab</em> and <em>aB</em>.

Since the genes are 10mu apart, 10% of the produced gametes will be recombinant and 90% will be parentals. Since there are two types of parental gametes, each of them has a frequency of 45%.

45% of the progeny will be ab/ab.

<h3>d) 24 m.u. apart</h3>

This is very similar to c).

Since the genes are 24mu apart, 24% of the produced gametes will be recombinant and 76% will be parentals. Since there are two types of parental gametes, each of them has a frequency of 38%.

38% of the progeny will be ab/ab.

Explain why scientific methods are important and why there is not one establish way to conduct an investigation
Neporo4naja [7]

Without using the scientific method, it would be much harder to determine a factor that could cause your experiment to fail. By sticking to only one of the methods you could easily destroy your experiment without the background search needed or the materials planned out.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is- B) Cell walls are made primarily of peptidoglycan

Explanation:

There is a difference between the cell wall of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. The cell wall of bacteria is primarily made up of peptidoglycan which contains two sugar  N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid while archaea contain two N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid (NAT) in place of N-acetylmuramic acid which is called pseudo-peptidoglycan.

Eukaryotic cell wall is also different from archaeal and bacterial cell wall and animals in eukaryotes do not have a cell wall. Therefore cell wall made up primarily of peptidoglycan will allow you to classify the organism as belonging to Bacteria but not Archaea or Eukarya.
