Corn rust is a pathogen caused by fungus that can attack corn plants and cause wide spread damage to this staple crop. Much of t

he midwest farmlands are used to grow corn. What method will best mitigate the impact of corn rust on this important crop?
A)Corn should only be grown in rainy season so its not needed to integrate land
B)Corn should be grown in cold season
C) Cloning
D) Genetic variation so at least some plants would be resistent to corn rust

Answer:

D. Genetically distinct varieties of corn should be grown so that genetic variation will ensure at least some of the corn plants will be resistant to the corn rust.

Explanation:

Genetic diversity can be rare for selectively bred vegetable varieties, but it is the best method to use to ensure resistance to drought, pests, disease, and cold winters. Without genetic variation, one adverse condition could wipe out whole crop yields for a season.

For all questions, assume that you have genes for beak color, tail-feather length, and feather color all linked (located) on the
Effectus [21]

1. If we cross YyLl (heterozygous parent with dominant traits) with yyll (homozygous parent with recessive traits)

P:  YyLl  x  yyll

F1 generation: YyLl: 400 Yyll: 100 yyLl: 100 yyll: 400

Recombinant offspring are those children whose genes contain a non-parental allele combination  (neither allele group is directly inherited from either parent). This happens when genes are located on the same chromosome but are so far apart from one another so that their alleles get crossed over during meiosis. In this case, Yyll and yyLl are the recombinant.

2. Calculation of distance between Y and L.  

The numbers of the two recombinant types is 200 (100 Yyll + 100 yyLl) and 800 parental offspring.

Total number of offspring is 1000.

So: 200/1000*100=20 map units.

There is 20 percent recombinant offspring frequency.
