You are working with a 125 million bp human chromosome (1 centimorgan = 1 million bp), and wish to use markers to map newgenes v
Lena [83]

Answer:

After every 0.192 centimorgan

Explanation:

If there are 125 million base pairs then according to the parallel ratio compare rule it should contain an average of 650 genes. If every gene has to be marked by a single marker on each end then a total number of 651 markers are used after every 0.192 centimorgan distance.

Describe the benefits to using tissue cultures to study medications used for treating cancer cells
liberstina [14]

Medications can be tested on cell cultures instead of being injected into patients unnecessarily.

Cancer cells continue to grow in the cultures uncontrollably allowing scientists to test multiple medications on the cancer cells.

Mendel's law of segregation predicts the following specific phenotypic ratios among the F, and Fa progeny from crosses between t
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

C. Fi 1:0, F2 3:1

Explanation:

Firstly, Mendel's law of segregation states that the alleles of a gene will randomly separate into gametes during gamete formation. In this case involving a single trait, hence, a single gene. Mendel crossed two purebreeding plants i.e. homozygous plants that produced different phenotypes for the same gene. He obtained his offsprings which he called F1 offsprings. He realized that all the F1 offsprings expressed only one phenotype. For example, when he crossed homozygous tall (TT) and short (tt) plants, he got F1 offsprings that were all tall.

He then self-crossed these F1 offsprings to produce a F2 offsprings that had a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 i.e. 3tall, 1short plant. He concluded that the alleles of the single gene had segregated into the gametes but one allele was capable of masking the expression of another, as seen in the heterozygous F1 offsprings that were all tall (Tt).

Hence, he obtained a 1:O ratio for his F1 offsprings then a 3:1 ratio for his F2 offsprings.

Svet_ta [14]

All amino acids are structurally the same, in that they contain a central carbon atom, an amine group, a lone hydrogen at. Our DNA is contained in our chromosomes. The thing that is different about each of the 20 amino acids is the make-up of the R group

Blue moon beans produce beans that are either the dominant color blue or the recessive color white The bean pods for this specie
liq [111]

Answer:

a) 0.316

b) 0.105

c) 0.035

d) 0.0117

e) 0.0039

Explanation:

When two heterozygous plants with genotype Bb are crossed, following offspring are produced

Bb * Bb

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

so the probability of blue offspring is \frac{3}{4} and the probability of white offspring is \frac{1}{4}

a) Probability of all 4 peas as blue

\frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4} \\= \frac{81}{256} \\= 0.316

b) Probability of 3 blue and 1 white

\frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4}* \frac{3}{4}* \frac{1}{4}\\= \frac{27}{256} \\= 0.105

c) Probability of 2 blue and 2 white

\frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4}* \frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{4}\\= 0.035

d) Probability of 1 blue and 3 white

\frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4}* \frac{1}{4}\\= \frac{3}{256} \\= 0.0117

e) Probability of all white

\frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} \\= \frac{1}{256} \\= 0.0039
