Gene mapping for beak color and feather length in biology what is this

I am not entirely sure about this. So maybe my response can help you find the answer a little better if my answer is not entirely right?

These last three questions are referring to everything you just worked on. So all you would have to do is refer back to your previous answers. Recall that the titles of the "part 1, 2, and 3" are titled "crossing beak color and tail-feather length", "crossing beak color and feather color", and "mapping tail-feather length and feather color".

1.List the distances between each pair of genes:
beak color and tail-feather length: 20 MU
beak color and feather color: 16 MU
tail-feather length and feather color: 4 MU

2.Which two alleles are the farthest apart?
(the one that is 20 MU apart) Y and L

3.Which two alleles are the closest together?
(the ones that are 4 MU apart) L and B

Which of the following is an example of specific immunity?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Immunity to Small Pox

Explanation:

Over the years, Europeans had built up an immunity to smallpox because many had contracted the disease and still survived. As the population grew children were born with some immunity to the disease. When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, and smallpox spread around the native peoples, the Europeans did not contract the disease because they were immune. However, since the natives were not immune, they slowly died of due just to the disease as well as some parts of the war between the europeans.

Which of the following statements regarding restriction enzymes is NOT true?
Anni [7]

Answer:

The correct option is option A

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are endocleases that cleave DNA fragment (<u>of usually four, five or six nucleotide long</u>) at <u>specific sites to produce blunt or sticky ends</u>. They <u>recognize palindromic sequences of host DNA when cleaving the specific sites</u>. The sequences below (on complementary strands) give an example of a palindromic sequences.

5'-CCC║GGG-3'

3'-GGG║CCC-5'

As can be seen above, when read from 5' to 3', the two sequences are the same despite being on opposing strands. And when cut between the guanine (G) and cytosine (C) (as shown above), it produces a blunt end. But when cut as shown below produces a sticky end.

5'- G║AATTC -3'

3'- CTTAA║G -5'

The explanation above shows options C and D are right while option A is wrong (hence the correct option).

Also, bacteria prevent their own DNA from been digested by restriction enzymes by adding methyl group to their restriction sites <u>which prevents restriction enzymes from recognizing restriction sites of their DNA;</u> this generally makes bacterial DNA to be highly methylated. This explanation makes option B right also.

Global bee populations have been declining over the past decade. What impact might this have on the world's human population?
aev [14]

Answer:

Bees play a significant role in the field of agriculture. They can adapt to the process of pollination. Pollination is usually defined as the process of transportation of pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The bees pollinate the crops and increases their productivity and yield capacity. About 35% of the food that we eat, are dependent on this pollination act that is carried out by the bees, involving either directly or indirectly.

Over the last few decades, the population of the bee has been decreasing, and it is directly affecting the global human population. It is because less amount of food is produced compared to the rate of demand, resulting in a shortage of food items.
