Ans.

'Retaining water' can defined as to retain or keep water in the body for a longer time, while 'acquiring water' is a process to obtain water, such as by drinking. Desert animals face water scarcity as desert climate shows hot and dry climate. They acquire most of necessary water from their food, such as from succulent seeds or plants, blood or other body tissues of prey. Desert animals show various mechanisms to prevent water loss from body and to retain water for longer time. These mechanisms involve excretion of concentrate urine (with less water) and low perspiration, due to no or less sweat glands.

A desert is an area where there is very little amount of water available.Due scarcity of water it is very difficult for plants and animals to survive. Only those animals which need little amount of water can survive in the desert  

During the day, desert animals hide themselves in the bushes, whenever there is rain , the animals store water in their bodies. The loss of water from sweat and urine among these animals is minute. Most animals get water from the plants they eat or from the blood of their target/victim

Checkpoint proteins at the G1, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle monitor whether crucial cellular process have been completed c
zepelin [54]

Answer:

c. There is uncontrolled cell division.

Explanation:

There is uncontrolled cell division that result in the improper functioning of a checkpoint protein in a cancer cell because checkpoint protein monitors and control the the process of cell cycle. If mutation occurs in this checkpoint protein, the cycle is no longer in control which leads to the uncontrolled cell division and we also know that cancer is a disease which occurs due to uncontrolled division of the cell.

If A/A ⋅ B/B is crossed with a/a ⋅ b/b and the F1 is testcrossed, what percentage of the testcross progeny will be a/a ⋅ b/b if
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) 25%; b) 50%; c) 45%; d) 38%

Explanation:

<h3 /><h3>a) Unlinked genes</h3>

A/A B/B X a/a b/b

F1: A/a B/b

Testcross A/a B/b X a/a b/b

The homozygous recessive individual only produces <em>ab</em><em> </em>gametes.

The F1 produces four types of gametes (each of them with a frequency of 1/4):  <em>AB</em>, <em>Ab</em>, <em>aB </em>and <em>ab</em>.

25% of the progeny will be a/a b/b.

<h3>b) Completely linked genes</h3>

AB/AB X ab/ab

F1: AB/ab

Testcross AB/ab X ab/ab

The F1 produces only two types of gametes, the parentals (each of them with a frequency of 1/2):  <em>AB</em> and <em>ab</em>.

50% of the progeny will be ab/ab.

<h3>c) 10 m.u. apart</h3>

AB/AB X ab/ab

F1: AB/ab

Testcross AB/ab X ab/ab

The F1 produces four types of gametes, the parentals <em>AB</em> and <em>ab </em>and the recombinants <em>Ab</em> and <em>aB</em>.

Since the genes are 10mu apart, 10% of the produced gametes will be recombinant and 90% will be parentals. Since there are two types of parental gametes, each of them has a frequency of 45%.

45% of the progeny will be ab/ab.

<h3>d) 24 m.u. apart</h3>

This is very similar to c).

Since the genes are 24mu apart, 24% of the produced gametes will be recombinant and 76% will be parentals. Since there are two types of parental gametes, each of them has a frequency of 38%.

38% of the progeny will be ab/ab.
