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.

A longshore current flowing southwards along a coast will primarily transport sediments
babunello [35]

Southwards parallel to the shoreline.

A geological course that is made up of the movement of sediments like silt, clay, shingle and sandd within a coast parallel to the shoreline, which is reliant on oblique approaching wind direction is called longshore drift. Oblique incoming wind restraints water along the coast, and so creates a water current which moves parallel to the coast.

How do stomata help plants maintain homeostasis?
Tresset [83]

Answer:

CO2 enters the stomata during the day when they are open for photosynthesis. In exchange, O2 exits the stomata. While the stomata are open, there is a risk of water loss resulting in wilting and maybe death. The stomata help to conserve water at night while they are closed. Also, their waxy covering “cuticle” helps minimize water loss. On a very hot day, the stomata May close to preserve water but it comes with a cost, because if they close, photosynthesis slows down.
