You have learned that having linear DNA has consequences, the major one being that the DNA is shortened every time it replicates

. This does not happen with the circular DNA found in prokaryotes. What, then, is the advantage of having linear DNA?

4 0

Answer:

The sites of replication.

Explanation:

Linear DNA is and advantage for bigger organisms because there can be many places where replication can occur, otherwise, in circular DNA replication can only happen in he ORI place, that is unique. This feature allows to replicate several genes in the same amount of time being more efficient in protein synthesis.

Select two specific components of the cell membrane and explain how each affects the permeability of the cell membrane. Meaning,
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Phospholipid bilayer and carbohydrates.

Explanation:

Phospholipids form a double layer that protects the cell from the outside, in this layer the heads of the phospholipids, which are hydrophilic, are orientated towards the inside and the outside of the cell, and the tails of the two layers, which are hydrophobic, are in contact with each other. This bilayer allows the passage of certain substances due to its polarity, the elements that are too big, are ions, or that are hydrophilic have especial channels made of proteins that allow the passage of these kinds of elements

The other component that can affect the permeability is carbohydrates. These, when they attach to lipids and proteins, form a layer around the cell that allows the passage of certain substances, allows the recognition of the cells that are from the body, and the ones that are foreign so that there can be communication between cells.

A female rabbit heterozygous at two genes (named A and B) is test-crossed with a male rabbit. Their progeny include 442 A/a;B/b,
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The genes are linked and 10 mu apart.

Explanation:

A female AaBb rabbit is test crossed with a male rabbit (aabb). The male can only produce<em> ab</em> gametes (all the progeny will have ab on one of the homologous chromosomes).

If the genes assorted independently, the female would produce 4 types of gametes with the same frequency: 1/4 AB, 1/4 Ab, 1/4 aB and 1/4 ab.

However, the observed AB and ab gametes were much more frequent than Ab and aB, which means that the genes are linked and alleles on the same chromosome do not assort independently during meiosis.

Recombination is a rare event, so the most abundant gametes are the parentals. That is how we know that the mother had the AB/ab genotype. The recombinant gametes therefore are Ab and aB.

Distance (mu) = # Recombinants × 100/ Total progeny

Distance = (54 + 46) × 100/ 1000

Distance =  100 × 100/1000

Distance = 10 mu
