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%.

Which statement correctly compares protists to prokaryotes?
4vir4ik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer is D

<u>Explanation:</u>

1- Most of the protists and all Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms.  

2- Prokaryotes lack a proper nucleus and other membrane-bounded organelles while protists have membrane-bounded nuclei and other organelles.

3- Protists have cytosol where most of the organelles are found.

4- Protists don't have a cell wall while prokaryotes have a cell wall that acts as an extra protection layer. The cell wall of the protists shapes their body.

La funcion de las glándulas salivales
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Explanation:

Las funciones digestivas de la saliva incluyen humedecer los alimentos y ayudar a crear un bolo alimenticio, para que se pueda tragar fácilmente. La saliva contiene la enzima amilasa que descompone algunos almidones en maltosa y dextrina. Por lo tanto, la digestión de los alimentos ocurre dentro de la boca, incluso antes de que los alimentos lleguen al estómago.

Which sequence represents the correct order of levels of organization found in a complex organism?
icang [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

C is the answer.

<u></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Organelles (the smallest in this situation) are what you can find inside a cell (example: nucleus, mitochondria, etc..).

Cells are what make up tissues (such as muscles).

Tissues make up organs (such as the heart) and organs make up organ systems (such as the circulatory system).
