You have isolated a new mutation in the T4 bacteriophage rII A gene and you map its location within the gene by recombination fr

equency. You find that this new mutation fails to give wild type recombinants with several different adjacent mutations located in the same gene. What type of mutation is this new one you just isolated

Answer:

A lethal mutation, thereby the resulting phenotype is not observed .

Explanation:

Lethal mutations are the result of genomic changes that may be lethal in certain conditions. In genetic research, this type of mutation has shown to be very useful in analyzing gene function (i.e., genes whose protein products are key for the survival of the organism in question), and they are perfect gene markers. In bacteriophages, for example, temperature-sensitive mutants of phage T4 that can not grow at temperatures higher 42°C have been identified (Edgar & Lielausis 1964).

Which idea associated with relative dating helped inspire Charles Darwin's work on evolution?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: The idea that the earth is extremely ancient.

Explanation:

Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who worked on the organic evolution of living organisms and in his books outlined how present-day organisms evolved from earlier, different species.

Evolution is an extremely slow process. It is difficult to obtain direct evidence of evolution in action. However, scientist including Charles Darwin, have from many fields gathered a great deal of indirect evidence that supports the theory of evolution. This evidence comes from many sources which include the FOSSIL RECORDS.

The history of life on earth is recorded in fossils (remains of organisms preserved mainly in earth's sedimentary rocks). Scientist can determine the age of rocks in which fossils occurs by using RELATIVE DATING. This method give a geological time scale, showing earth's age ( as measured by dating it's rocks), and tracing the history of life on it.

Therefore the idea that the earth is extremely ancient is associated with relative dating which has helped inspire Charles Darwin's work as an evidence on evolution.

Why sex-linked traits appear more often in males than in females.
umka21 [38]
Because for female sex link desease would require X°X° but for male X°Y so during crossing X linked dear are more common in male.

In the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, photosystem I initiates the process to produce ATP and NADPH in photosystem
Tanya [424]
False the process is reversed. Photosystem ll happens before photosystem l. I know that's weird but it's true. In photosystem ll which happens first it makes the energy carriers for ATP Synthase to happen in Photosystem l which is the next phase. Hope this helped!
