Answer:

G and K

Explanation:

Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs in meiosis, specifically, Prophase I. It is when chromosomal segment (genes) are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over occurs only to genes that are UNLINKED i.e. genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.

This unlinked genes are said to have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY. Crossing-over allows genes on the same chromosome but far apart from each other, assort independently, which allows alleles to be recombined on the same chromosome. This phenomenon does not occur to genes that are close on the same chromosome as they will be inherited together as a unit.

In this case, G and K are the farthest apart, hence, they will have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY i.e. the likelihood for homologous crossing-over to take place during meiosis.

In a certain population of fruit flies, 640 out of 1000 have red eyes, while the remainder have sepia eyes. The sepia eye trait
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The correct answer is 160.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the total number of fruit flies is 1000, of which red eye flies are 640. Thus, the number of sepia eye flies will be 1000-640 = 360.  

On the basis of the Hardy-Weinberg equation, p+q = 1, in which p is the rate of recurrence of one allele, that is, dominant and q is the rate of recurrence of the other allele, that is, recessive.  

q^2 for the population is 360/1000 = 0.36, q = 0.6.  

Therefore, p = 1-q = 1-0.6 = 0.4.  

The frequency of homozygous dominant allele is denoted by p^2 = 0.16.  

Hence, the number of homozygous dominant for red eye color would be 16% of 1000 which will be equal to 160.
