Answer:
mutations can be either beneficial or harmful depending on the environment
Explanation:
Mutations can be defined as genetic changes in the nucleotide sequence of the genome of one organism. Mutations are usually neutral, but they can also be deleterious and/or beneficial depending on the environment. For example, recessive mutations that cause sickle-cell anemia, which is a recessive genetic disease that affects homo-zygous individuals, have shown to be advantageous for heterozygous individuals living in regions where malaria is endemic. Beneficial mutations can be selected by natural selection, thereby increasing their frequency in the population.
Answer:
35%
Explanation:
If two genes are 30 map units apart, 30% of the produced gametes will be recombinant.
A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits (AB/AB) and one homozygous recessive for both traits (ab/ab) is conducted.
The F1 will be heterozygous for both genes: AB/ab.
The F1 progeny is then test-crossed to a homozygous recessive individual:
<h3>AB/ab X ab/ab</h3>
<u>The possible offspring will be:</u>
- Parental (70%): AB/ab and ab/ab
- Recombinant (30%): Ab/ab and aB/ab
Since 30% of all the gametes produced by the F1 individual will be recombinant, 70% will be parental. As there are two types of parental gametes, each of them will have a frequency of 35%.
<u>The offspring that will have a dominant phenotype for both traits has the genotype AB/ab with a proportion of 35%.</u>
Answer:
The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements using this method. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order is usually according with the increasment (Is this a word?) of the atomic mass.
Explanation:
Have a good day :)
Simple. Air has mass. And if air has mass it also has weight. You can feel air when the wind blows. Or do an experiment. Weigh an empty container. Then pump it to a vacuum. Weigh it again. The difference is the weight of the air inside.
