Answer:

D) Genes for the two traits are located close together on the same chromosome, and crossing over occurred between the two gene loci.

Explanation:

According to the data shown above, we can see that at the crossing of the two flies the genes for the two characteristics are located close to each other on the same chromosome, and the crossing occurred between the two genetic loci.

As you may already know, a chromosome is a molecule formed by the correlation between DNA and proteins that keep the DNA compacted and prevent it from spreading.

Genetic loci, on the other hand, are regions on chromosomes where a specific gene for a specific trait is located.

At what level does gene variability quantify genetic variation?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Answer is whole-gene or whole-genome.

Explanation:

Genetic variation explains that, no matter how related or identical some organisms might be, there is a or some characters that make them different from one another. These difference is referred to as variation.

Furthermore, whole-gene means the coding and non-coding regions of the DNA>

There are some activities or occurrences that cause genetic variation, these are gene flow, mutation and sexual reproduction.

Examples of genetic variation are color of the eyes, modification of leaf and blood type among others.

Landscape in which limestone is eroded to form deep valleys and caverns
irina [24]
The landscape in which limestone is eroded to form deep valleys and cavers are called Karst landscape or karst topography. This kind of development start occuring whenever the acidic water starts breaking down the bedrocks near the cracks. As the bedrock starts breaking down slowly, the cracks start to open up creating bigger holes. with passage of time the holes will become big enough to create an underground drainage system for the surface water to flow and form underneath. If the water is unable to flow out and becomes stagnant, then the Karst will start getting bigger.
