In a diploid species of plant, the genes for plant height and fruit shape are syntenic and separated by 18 m.u. Allele D produce

s tall plants and is dominant to d for short plants, and allele R produces round fruit and is dominant to r for oval fruit.
A plant with the genotype Dr/dR produces gametes. Identify gamete genotypes, label parental and recombinant gametes, and give the frequency of each gamete genotype.


A)Parental: 9\% DR, 9\% dr; recombinant: 41\% Dr, 41\% dR.

B)Parental: 41\% DR, 41\% dr; recombinant: 9\% Dr, 9\% dR.

C)Parental: 41\% Dr, 41\% dR; recombinant: 9\% DR, 9\% dr.

D)Parental: 9\% Dr, 9\% dR; recombinant: 41\% DR, 41\% dr.

Answer:

C)Parental: 41% Dr, 41% dR; recombinant: 9% DR, 9% dr.

Explanation:

The notation Dr/dR for genotypes means that one homologous chromosome has the alleles Dr and the other homologous chromosome has the alleles dR.

The heterozygous plant  Dr/dR will produce 4 types of gametes: two identical to the chromosmes the individual has in its somatic cells (called parental), and two gametes which will be a mix of the alleles in the homologous chromosomes (called recombinant).

  • Dr: parental
  • dR: parental
  • DR: recombinant
  • dr: recombinant

To calculate the frequency of each type of gamete, we must use the formula:

Distance (map units) / 100 = frequency of recombination.

18 mu / 100 = 0.18.

The total frequency of recombination between the genes D and R is 0.18, but every time crossing over happens, two recombinant gametes are generated. Therefore, each recombinant gamete will have a frequency of 0.18/2=0.09 = 9%.

The frequency of parental gametes will be:

1 - frequency of recombinant gametes

1 - 0.18 = 0.82

But there are 2 parental gametes, so each of them will have a frequency of 0.82/2=0.41 = 41%.

How does photosynthesis in a purple bacterium (Class Anoxyphotobacteria) differ from photosynthesis in an oak tree?
VladimirAG [237]
It differs due to the life cycle of each tree, and the very specific way the trees go.

Doss [256]

Answer:

The reason why Dr Naskrecki thinks he suspects there are so many more than the 2,829 species they have already identified living in the park is because there are many species that has been identified in the world because humans haven’t gotten to most parts of the earth which makes it a lot undiscoverable.

Another one is that the species multiply rapidly and easily.

Can you determine which instances reflect a valid experiment or conclusion? Check only those that are valid.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Only options a reflects the instances with valid experiment or conclusion.

Quality of any experiment depends upon two things reliability and validity. Reliability is measure of regeneration of results every time an experiment is performed under specific conditions.

Validity is measure of accuracy of results of an experiment. It can be check by two ways: internal validity (checks the design of the experiment) and external validity (checks if the conclusion is the real explanation of the phenomenon).

Now, in marine biologist experiment, he concluded the results only after one breeding season. This makes his results unreliable as it might have happened by chance.

Similarly, in cola experiment the taste was only checked by one candidate i.e. Karl. He might have problem in his taste buds. In addition, the temperature of cola can also affects its taste which is not taken care of in the experiment. Hence, it is not the valid experiment.

Similarly. Jeanette could use more plants for her experiment and Robert just followed only one instruction. He didn't perform any experiment.
