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.

Has medical progress stopped human evolution? [duplicate]
Angelina_Jolie [31]
No. Medical progress is allowing us to progress and evolve in different ways. That is the only difference. Having medical progress and good medical care allows us to pursue different types of activites we wouldn't be able to pursue otherwise. This at the same time brings a different type of evolution.

What are the functions of the menisci?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Menisci are the semi-lunar fibrous cartilage of the knee which could be either medial meniscus or radial meniscus. The meniscus in humans is present in the joints of the knee, sternoclavicular joints, wrist and temporomandibular joints.

These menisci play important roles in these joints as they reduce the friction caused by the bones during movement. They also disperse the weight of the body of the humans as they spread the load of the weight of the body to different bones like the femur and tibia.

In the presences of oxygen, the energy rich products of glycolysis in human cells
beks73 [17]
Answer

In the presence of oxygen two energy products are produced, these are:
1. ATP
2. NADH2

One NADH2 produce three ATP. 
Conclusion:
so in the presence of oxygen the energy rich compound which is produced during glycolysis is NADH2.
