What type of rock is limestone? Describe how a limestone rock is likely to change over a long period of time.
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Most limestones actually start as calcium carbonate mud or shells precipitated by organisms in reefs or shallow shelf regions - the biosphere. Over time, the limestone is broken down into its chemical parts and may come back to the surface as volcanic CO2 (in the atmosphere).

What are the sex cells that develop in pea plants?
mars1129 [50]

Answer: Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants. Each pea plant flower has both male and female parts. The anther is part of the stamen, the male structure that produces male gametes (pollen). The stigma is part of the pistil, the female structure that produces female gametes and guides the pollen grains to them.

In Drosophila melanogaster, vestigial wings (vg) is recessive to normal wings (vg+), black body (b) is recessive to gray body (b
yan [13]

Correct progeny phenotype:

  • 1779 vestigial wings, black body and purple eyes, vg b pr  
  • 1665 normal wings, a grey body and red eyes, vg+ b+ pr+
  • 252 normal wings, an black body and purple eyes, vg+ b pr
  • 241 vestigial wings, a gray body and red eyes, vg b+ pr+
  • 131 normal wings, an black body and red eyes, vg +b pr+
  • 118 vestigial wings, a gray body and purple eyes, vg b+ pr
  • 13 vestigial wings, an black body and red eyes, vg b pr+
  • 9 normal wings, a gray body and purple eyes, vg+ b+ pr

Answer:

  • The order of these genes is vg --- pr --- b
  • Map distances between the genes vg/pr = 12.2 MU
  • Map distance between the genes pr/b = 6.4 MU
  • Map distances between the genes vg/b = 18.6 MU

Explanation:

We know that

•Normal wings expressed by vg+ is dominant over vestigial wings, vg

•Gray body b+ is dominant over black body

•Red eyes, pr+, is dominant over purple ayes, pr

We have the number of descendants of each phenotype product of the tri-hybrid cross.

•1779 vestigial wings, black body and purple eyes vg b pr  

•1665 normal wings, a grey body and red eyes vg+ b+ pr+

•252 normal wings, an black body and purple eyes vg+ b pr

•241 vestigial wings, a gray body and red eyes vg b+ pr+

•131 normal wings, an black body and red eyes vg +b pr+

• 118 vestigial wings, a gray body and purple eyes vg b+ pr

•13 vestigial wings, an black body and red eyes vg b pr+

• 9 normal wings, a gray body and purple eyes vg+ b+ pr

The total number of individuals is 4208.

In a tri-hybrid cross, it can occur that the three genes assort independently or that two of them are linked and the third not, or that the three genes are linked. In this example, in particular, the three genes are linked on the same chromosome.

Knowing that the genes are linked, we can calculate genetic distances between them. First, we need to know their order in the chromosome, and to do so, we need to compare the genotypes of the parental gametes with the ones of the double recombinants. We can recognize the parental gametes in the descendants because their phenotypes are the most frequent, while the double recombinants are the less frequent. So:

<u>Parental)</u>

  • 1779 vestigial wings, black body and purple eyes vg b pr  
  • 1665 normal wings, a grey body and red eyes vg+ b+ pr+

<u>Double recombinant)</u>

  • 13 vestigial wings, an black body and red eyes vg b pr+
  • 9 normal wings, a gray body and purple eyes vg+ b+ pr

<u>Simple recombinant)</u>

  • 252 normal wings, an black body and purple eyes vg+ b pr
  • 241 vestigial wings, a gray body and red eyes vg b+ pr+
  • 131 normal wings, an black body and red eyes vg +b pr+
  • 118 vestigial wings, a gray body and purple eyes vg b+ pr

Comparing parental with the double recombinants we will realize that between  

  • vg b pr (parental)
  • vg b pr+ (double recombinant)

and  

  • vg+ b+ pr+ (Parental)
  • vg+ b+ pr (double recombinant)

They only change in the position of the alleles pr/pr+. This suggests that the position of the gene pr is in the middle of the other two genes, vg and b, because in a double recombinant only the central gene changes position in the chromatid.  

So, the order of the genes is:

---- vg ---- pr -----b ----

Now we will call Region I to the area between vg and pr and Region II to the area between pr and b.

Once established the order of the genes we can calculate distances between them, and we will do it from the central gene to the genes on each side. First We will calculate the recombination frequencies, and we will do it by region. We will call P1 to the recombination frequency between vg and pr genes, and P2 to the recombination frequency between pr and b.

P1 = (R + DR) / N

P2 = (R + DR)/ N

Where: R is the number of simple recombinants in each region, DR is the number of double recombinants in each region, and N is the total number of individuals.  

So:

Parental)

• 1779 vestigial wings, black body and purple eyes vg pr b  

• 1665 normal wings, a grey body and red eyes vg+ pr+ b+  

Double recombinant)

• 13  vg pr+ b  

• 9  vg+ pr b+  

Simple recombinant)

• 252  vg+ pr b  

• 241 vg pr+ b+  

• 131  vg+ pr+ b  

• 118  vg pr b+  

P1 = (R + DR) / N

P1 = (252+241+13+9)/4208

P1 = 515/4208

P1 = 0.122

P2= (R + DR) / N

P2 = (131+118+13+9)/4208

P2 = 271/4208

P2 = 0.064

Now, to calculate the recombination frequency between the two extreme genes, vg and b, we can just perform addition or a sum:

P1 + P2= Pt

0.122 + 0.064 = Pt

0.186=Pt

The genetic distance will result from multiplying that frequency by 100 and expressing it in map units (MU). One centiMorgan (cM) equals one map unit (MU).  

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes. Every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant product. Now we must multiply each recombination frequency by 100 to get the genetic distance in map units:

GD1= P1 x 100 = 0.122 x 100 = 12.2 MU

GD2= P2 x 100 = 0.064 x 100 = 6.4 MU

GD3=Pt x 100 = 0.186 x 100 = 18.6 MU

---- vg ---------------------- pr ---------------------b ----

                    R1                                 R2

-----vg----12.2MU---------pr—

                                   ----pr--------6.4 MU----b—

-----vg ----------------18.6 MU--------------------b----

During diffusion, when the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, the molecules will?
Paladinen [302]
<span>not move since their is an equal concentration between the two sides.
Diffusion occurs because of the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. This movement of molecules occurs due to a thermal motion. Diffusion normally occurs between two compartments having difference in concentration. In case of fluid it moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of concentration until a balance is reached. The process of diffusion is very important for the humans as well. The oxygen that humans breathe in gets diffused with the blood.<span>
