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.

Which phase best describes a chapparal
Kobotan [32]

The options attached to this question are given below:

A. contains mostly needle-leaved evergreen trees.

B. is home to herds of giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests.

C. receives less than 25 cm of precipitation per year.

D. has low-growing; touch shrubs and rock, dry soils .

ANSWER

The correct option is D.

The chappral biome is one of the most widespread biome in the world, it can be found on almost all continents. The major characteristic of the biome include the following:

It has both forest and grassland,

It has two major seasons, winter and summer; the summer season is usually very dry and last for about five months.

The dry summer makes the biome sensitive to fire outbreak, which is a common occurrence there.

The amount of rain available to the biome is about 10 - 17 inches per year and is only able to support shrubs growth, only few trees can be found in the biome.

The biome can be a plain, a rolling hill or a mountain and the soil is usually very dry.

Which three of the following best describe what would happen if mitosis did not take place?
vaieri [72.5K]

Mitosis refers to the procedure of cell division, in which a cell goes through a carefully mediated nuclear division, which results in the production of two genetically similar daughter cells. The mitosis comprises five active stages, that is, prophase, premetaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.  

In a single-celled species like an amoeba, it is the process of mitosis by which the cells reproduce. After undergoing through the five stages of mitosis, it is via the procedure called cytokinesis, the single cell dissociates into two similar cells, thus, completing the reproduction.  

During injury, the process of mitosis takes place to substitute the damaged cells. This repair is mainly essential for the blood vessels and skin that safeguards the organs and muscles in the body. Mitosis also assists to substitute the lost blood via a wound.  

Thus, if the process of mitosis would not take place, then the organism would remain a single-cell, asexual reproduction would not take place, and the tissues of the body would not be able to repair themselves.
