Answer:

  • J K / j k = 20%
  • j k / j k = 20%
  • J k / j k = 30%
  • j K / j k = 30%                

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.

So, en the exposed example:

  • J and K are autosomal genes
  • J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
  • 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross)             J K / j k                    x                  j k / j k

Gametes) JK  Parental                                     jk, jk, jk, jk

                jk   Parental                                  

                Jk   Recombinant                          

                 jK   Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

                              30% Jk  +  30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

                            20% JK   +   20% jk

Punnet Square)           JK       jk      Jk      jK

                          jk     JK/jk   jk/jk   Jk/jk   jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Why is it important to learn about stem cells and stem cell research?

Researchers hope stem cell studies can help to: Increase understanding of how diseases occur. By watching stem cells mature into cells in bones, heart muscle, nerves, and other organs and tissue, researchers may better understand how diseases and conditions develop.

How does stem cell research affect society?

Research with embryonic stem cells may lead to new, more effective treatments for serious human ailments and alleviate the suffering of thousands of people. Diseases such as juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's disease, heart failure and spinal cord injuries are examples.
