lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

As given,

Allele A for blue anthocynin.

aa for yellow kernel;

at second locus;

W produce smooth kernel,

ww for wrinkled kernel;

Parents as given are: AaWw and aaww

Progeny are:

blue smooth ( AaWw)= 1447;

blue wrinkle (Aaww)= 169;

yellow smooth (aaWw)= 186;

yellow wirnked (aaww)= 1510

Recombinant progeny are 169+ 186= 355

non- recombinant progeny are = 1447+ 1510= 2957

so recombination frequency (RF)= 346/2957×100= 12.0054%

So a and w are linked genes.

They are 12 mu far away from each other.

b) Blue smooth parent= AaWw.

c) Aaww crossed with aaWw

progeny are= AaWw, Aaww, aaWw, aaww,

They all are produced in same proportion =0.25% or 1/4.

<h2>Concept of biological species</h2>

Explanation:

Determine whether peoples from one populace will interbreed with people from the other populace when brought into one another's local environments
An animal category is a gathering of individual living beings that interbreed and produce fruitful, practical posterity. As indicated by this definition, one species is recognized from another when, in nature, it isn't feasible for matings between people from every specie to create prolific posterity
Individuals from similar species share both outer and inward qualities that create from their DNA. The closer relationship two living beings share, the more DNA they share for all intents and purpose, much the same as individuals and their families. Individuals' DNA is probably going to be more similar to their father's or mother's DNA than their cousin's or grandparent's DNA. Living beings of similar species have the most significant level of DNA arrangement and, subsequently, share attributes and practices that lead to effective propagation

Read the paragraphs and answer the question that follows.

Artemon [7]

We can infer of the two paragraphs that Geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly, and that the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disaster.

The excerpt is telling us that "the <span>earthquakes caused a lot of damage, as well as dramatic changes to the local ecosystem", which is supporting the conclusion: "geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly."
But is also telling us that "</span>The slip caused several rock formations and structures to develop cracks. However there was no large-scale disaster or disruption.", which is supporting the conclusion: the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disaster."

Why the horses developed an oxygen debt when they exercised.

user100 [1]

Answer:

The horses developed an oxygen debt when they exercise because they suffered from Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH).

Explanation:

A temporary shortage of oxygen in the body tissues during physical exertion such as exercise or a sudden burst of activity is referred to as oxygen shortage.

Horses (compared to humans) are uniquely designed to experience little or none of this.

When the body takes up oxygen, it reacts with glucose to produce energy. This is called Aerobic respiration.

There is also another procedure that the body uses to produce energy. This occurs when glucose is broken down in the cells. After this happens, lactic acid is created but cannot be stored in the body and must be expelled.

This interval when energy is produced without the presence of oxygen is called "oxygen debt".

When a horse is fit, its breathing quickly returns to normal. The longer the time taken for the breathing to return to normal, the less fit the horse is.

One of the factors that can reduce the fitness of a horse is the Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH).

This occurs when blood vessle in the lung ruptures causing blood to bleed into the airways. So blood occupies space where oxygen should have. This reduced the amount of oxygen delivered to the blood stream. Hence the oxygen debt takes longer to be repaid.

Cheers
