Answer:

True

Explanation:

The linkage relation of two genes can be determined on the basis of calculating recombination frequency.

If the recombination frequency value is greater than 50% then the genes are not linked and if the value is less than 50% then the genes are linked.

In the given question, the  crossover gametes formed will be Ab = 100

and aB= 106.

Therefore,

\dfrac{recombinant\ progenies}{ Total\ progeny}\times 100\\\\\dfrac{100 +106}{100+106+45+50}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{206}{301}\times 100\\\\= 68.43\%

Since the recombinant frequency value is larger than 50% therefore the genes do not show linkage.

Thus, True is the correct answer.

Imagine an animal cell lost half of its mitochondria. Explain how the cell would be different.
seropon [69]

Answer:

Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. ...

Explanation:

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called aerobic respiration and is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. In fact, mitochondria enable cells to produce 15 times more ATP than they could otherwise, and complex animals, like humans, need large amounts of energy in order to survive.

mitochondrion is different from most other organelles because it has its own circular DNA (similar to the DNA of prokaryotes) and reproduces independently of the cell in which it is found; an apparent case of endosymbiosis. Scientists hypothesize that millions of years ago small, free-living prokaryotes were engulfed, but not consumed, by larger prokaryotes, perhaps because they were able to resist the digestive enzymes of the host organism. The two organisms developed a symbiotic relationship over time, the larger organism providing the smaller with ample nutrients and the smaller organism providing ATP molecules to the larger one. Eventually, according to this view, the larger organism developed into the eukaryotic cell and the smaller organism into the mitochondrion.

in most animal species, mitochondria appear to be primarily inherited through the maternal lineage, though some recent evidence suggests that in rare instances mitochondria may also be inherited via a paternal route. Typically, a sperm carries mitochondria in its tail as an energy source for its long journey to the egg. When the sperm attaches to the egg during fertilization, the tail falls off. Consequently, the only mitochondria the new organism usually gets are from the egg its mother provided. Therefore, unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA doesn't get shuffled every generation, so it is presumed to change at a slower rate, which is useful for the study of human evolution. Mitochondrial DNA is also used in forensic science as a tool for identifying corpses or body parts, and has been implicated in a number of genetic diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and diabetes.

What is indicated by two species having similar amino acids in the hemoglobin protein?
Anna71 [15]
Answer: The two species were Rhesus monkey and Human <span>
Hemoglobin protein is the iron containing protein found in the red blood cells which function by transporting oxygen through the blood stream from from the lungs to the tissues and it is important for survival. However, the  two species that have similar amino acids in the hemoglobin protein were Rhesus monkey and Human because they were not far from others.</span>
