How can a gene map be used? Why do scientists induce mutations in organisms?

Biology

jarptica [38.1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Genome mapping is used to identify and record the location of genes and the distances between genes on a chromosome. Genome mapping provided a critical starting point for the Human Genome Project. Sequenced DNA fragments can be aligned to the genome map to aid with the assembly of the genome.

By inducing mutations, scientists have been able to increase genetic variation, which breeders depend on to produce crops with desirable traits, such as resistance to diseases and insects. ... Mutations can be induced in a variety of ways, such as by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation or chemical mutagens.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Number of nucleosomes in 2.9 * 10^9bp is equal to 1.47 * 10^7

Explanation:

For wounding one nucleosome, total length of DNA required is equal to 146 bp

The length of  linker DNA in mammals is equal to 50 bp

Thus , the total length of DNA that confides between two nucleosome is equal to the sum of wounding length of DNA and the linker length

= 146 + 50\\= 196bp

Thus, in 196bp length of DNA, the total number of nucleosomes is equal to 1

Thus, number of nucleosomes in 2.9 * 10^9bp is equal to

\frac{2.9* 10^9}{196} \\1.47 * 10^7

Explain the difference between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Explain either an advantage or disadvantage for
ira [324]

In asexual reproduction, reproductive organs aren't used but they're used.

advantage of sexual- A lot of genetic variation. since they have DNA of two parents. they can survive more and adapt more.

disadvantage of asexual- diversity is limited. Since the organism only gets the DNA of one parent, they wouldn't be able to really survive if something happened.They would easily be extinct.

Sorry I can't really cone up with better words but I hope you get the idea. it all comes down to natural selection really if you've learned about it. Hope it helped!!!

What group of potential products must be tested in clinical trials before it can be marketed?
Hunter-Best [27]
<span>Any type of pharmaceutical product or dietary supplement must be tested in clinical trials before they can be marketed in order to assess their safety for the general public's consumption and to confirm their intended purpose. While not a complete fail safe, these tests intend to prove a reasonable sense of safety for the product.</span>
