Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.
The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.
So, en the exposed example:
- J and K are autosomal genes
- J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
- 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.
Cross) J K / j k x j k / j k
Gametes) JK Parental jk, jk, jk, jk
jk Parental
Jk Recombinant
jK Recombinant
One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.
1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination
60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination
30% Jk + 30% jK
100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.
40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)
20% JK + 20% jk
Punnet Square) JK jk Jk jK
jk JK/jk jk/jk Jk/jk jK/jk
J K / j k = 20%
j k / j k = 20%
J k / j k = 30%
j K / j k = 30%
Data have shown significant differences in nitrogen retention, blood cortisol concentrations, vital signs, water con- sumption, and urine production. Implications are that total energy balance is altered when an animal is exposed to ectoparasite infestations, thereby resulting in decreased productivity.
Mutations can be categorized based on the kind of effect they have on an organism. Blue eyes in humans are a result of a mutation in the OCA2 gene, which controls the production of pigment melanin in the iris.
This mutation is an example of a neutral mutation. Such mutations have no effect on an organism’s survival.
Iron is a key component of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin the the protein responsible for transporting oxygen uses iron to bond oxygen. Additionally Hemoglobin is a key component of RBC (erythrocytes)... If iron is deficit the body is not able to produce red blood cells and it can result in iron deficient anemia.
