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%

Explain how the use of Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms to diagnosis genetic disease differs from its use in forensic i
saw5 [17]
RFLP or Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism exploits the variation of homologous DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) sequences. This technique is frequently used in different types of analysis such as genotyping, paternity tests, forensics, hereditary disease diagnostics, and many others. In diagnosing diseases, PCR is use to find the DNA of pathogens in small amounts to diagnose hundreds of genetic diseases. While in forensic investigations, PCR can give a probably ID from 20 cells.

Which statement best describes DNA’s relationship to a gene and chromosome?
Leto [7]
Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. ... A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.
