I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.

According to the cladogram, which characteristic was used to separate bony fish from amphibians?
noname [10]

Answer:

(D). lungs

Explanation:

Cladograms are diagrams that show cladistic relationship between organisms of different species on the basis of their characteristics. The cladograms may include characteristics to make two organisms different from each other.  

In given cladogram, characteristic that separates bony fish from amphibians is 'lungs', as lungs are absent in bony fishes, while present in amphibians.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

If bicoid mRNA is injected at the anterior end of an egg from a bicoid mutant mother, what would the phenotype of the resulting
JulijaS [17]

If the larva had one head at the posterior pole, it would be normal. The larva would have two heads, one at the front of its body and the other in the center.

What is bicoid mRNA?

When translated, bicoid protein forms a morphogen gradient that shapes the embryo's head and thorax if bicoid mRNA localizes to the anterior of the Drosophila egg.

How does the egg's bicoid RNA influence development?

According to recent research, Bicoid specifies the anterior of the Drosophila embryo in two different ways. It initially suppresses posterior development. It accomplishes this by attaching to and preventing caudal RNA, which is distributed throughout the egg and early embryo, from being translated.
