A wetland in an area in the environment that is regularly or constantly inundated with water either from precipitation or due to proximity to riverbeds. Other than watersheds, other wetlands include marshlands, mangroves, lakes, rivers, and etc.
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.
Answer: The brainstem controls autonomic functions through cranial nerves arising from it, along with the medulla oblongata, therefore an injury to the area can cause loss of these functions.
Explanation:
The brainstem comprises of the midbrain, and the pons and medulla of the hindbrain. It is in direct continuation with the spinal cord. Ten cranial nerves arise from this part, and a number of tracts pass through this region. The medulla of the brainstem are particularly involved in maintaining heart rate, breathing and blood pressure. In case of a brainstem injury, the cranial nerves responsible for autonomic functions could get damaged leading to dysfunction and/or the areas of medulla consisting of centres controlling heart rate, blood pressure or other autonomic functions, if damaged could cause difficulties.
