Assume that genes A and B are 50 map units apart on the same chromosome. An animal heterozygous at both loci is crossed with one

that is homozygous recessive at both loci. What percentage of the offspring will show recombinant phenotypes? Without knowing that these genes are on the same chromosome, how would you interpret the results of this cross?

Answer:

Explanation:

The homozygous recessive individual can only produce 1 type of gamete (<em>aabb</em>).

The heterozygous individual can produce 8 types of gametes, of which 2 are parental and the rest are recombinant.

Genetic distance (m.u.) = Frequency of Recombination (%)

If the distance between genes A and B is 50 m.u., 50% of the gametes produced by the heterozygous individual, and therefore the offspring, will have recombinant phenotypes.

Without knowing that the genes are located on the same chromosomes, I'd think they are on different chromosomes, because you would get the same result: 50% recombinant offspring.

Whenever the genes on the same chromosome are separated by at least 50 m.u., or they are in different chromosomes, crossing over between them can happen with no restrictions and they will behave as independent of one another.

Which of the following statements about natural selection is TRUE?
diamong [38]

Answer:

A. Natural selection results in those individuals within a population who are best-adapted surviving and producing more offspring. The traits that promote survival are heritable.

Explanation:

Natural selection works on the genetic variations that are already present in the natural populations. Some organisms of a population are more likely to produce more offspring than the others. This is due to the presence of beneficial genetic traits in these individuals that impart survival and reproductive fitness to them. Natural selection favors those individuals. Over the generations, the frequency of the beneficial genetic trait in the population increases.

What structural component gives arteries the ability to passively adapt to changes in blood pressures that accompany the heartbe
Andrews [41]

Answer: elastic fibers

Explanation:

Elastic fibres are the essential durable component present in mammalian connective tissueand functions to provide proper pulmonary,  cardiovascular and intestinal system structure and function. Their structural function is to provide elastic recoil and resilience for the tissues.

Elastin fibers ahve two main including microfibrils and elastin containing fibrillin play a mechanical and structural role in the arteries, and their important function is to provide the tissues with resilience and elasticity.

Hence, elastic fibers helps arteries to adapt to changes in blood pressures that accompany the heartbeat.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
adelina 88 [10]

by the law of natural selection, daddy charles darwin stated that overpopulation could result in famine and wars, and death would accelerates across nations, so overpopulation is a cause for this because of too many organisms but not enough food, which declined growth rate.
