Passive transport can only occur when there is a concentration gradient of low to high for a substance?

Biology

velikii [3]3 years ago

<span>FALSE. Passive transport unlike active transport does not require energy or an outside force to act upon it in order to create an even gradient. As shown in diffusion, and osmosis we can see gases and liquids easily perform passive transport when high and low gradients are present, this continues until they are equal.</span>

If Darwin knew of Mendel’s work, how might it have influenced his theory of evolution? Do you think this would have affected how
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Darwin proposed his theory of evolution on the premise of natural selection. According to him, organisms which possess favourable characteristics which enable them to survive in their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.

According to Mendel, the unit of inheritance passed on from parents to offspring are genes. Hence Darwin's factors are Mendel's genes.

If Darwin knew of Mendel's work. It might have influenced his presentation of the idea of passing on favourable characteristics from parents to offspring in the light of genetics.

This would have made Darwin's work to have more empirical backing hence making it more widely accepted.

Assume that two genes are 80 map units apart on chromosome II of Drosophila and that a cross is made between a doubly heterozygo
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The recombination frequency between two genes exhibits a positive correlation with the distance between them, that is, farther they are, and more will be the chance of recombination. Thus, recombination frequency is used to signify distance among the two genes, for example, 1 percent recombination frequency demonstrates distance of 1 map unit.  

Let us consider that the heterozygous female of genotype AaBb can generate four kinds of gametes, that is, AB, Ab, aB and ab. Of these, the two gametes are the outcomes of recombination, or it can be said that 50 percent are recombinants. Thus, it can be concluded that in case of two linked genes, the maximum probable recombination frequency is 50 percent.  

This shows that any genes, which are distant than 50 map units will function as unlinked and will function as if they were on distinct chromosomes, and the frequency of recombinant frequency will be 50 percent.  

In the given question, it is given that the map distance between the two genes is 80 map units, that is, more than 50 map units. The maximum probable recombinant offspring will be 50 percent of the entire offspring.
