Answer:

b) 0.30

Explanation:

An individual who is heterozygous for two linked genes (with alleles A, a and B, b)

i.e Aa & Bb × ab/ab

This cross produce the following offspring :

14 AB/ab  

36 Ab/ab  

34 aB/ab  

16 ab/ab

Now, the purpose of these calculation is to determine how close together on a gene (gene mapping) these recombinants are.

First, we need to determine the linked gene for the parental chromosomal configurations which are (Aa & Bb × ab/ab) and the recombinant configurations in the offspring which are ( AB/ab & ab/ab). This allows for the calculation of the recombinant frequency; and it is given by:  

= \frac{number of recombinant frequency}{total number of offspring}

=\frac{14+16}{14+36+34+16}

= \frac{30}{100}

= 0.3

Answer:

C. a string of nucleotides that can be used as a template to produce a RNA that codes for a protein.

Explanation:

A gene is a specific sequence of DNA containing genetic information required to make a specific protien and  is a string of nucleotides (DNA in cells) that can be used as a template to produce a RNA (by transcription) that codes for a protein. The produced RNA might be the end product (for example some transfer RNA's) or might be further translated into a protein. An organism's entire complement of DNA is its genome.

Why is water crucial for life on Earth?
ICE Princess25 [194]

All life on Earth, at heart use a membrane that separates their organism from its environment. For it to stay alive, the organism takes in important materials for making energy, while also shuttling out toxic substances such as waste products. In this regard, water is essential simply because it's a liquid at Earth-like temperatures.

Hope this helped! :)
