In corn, a triple heterozygote was obtained carrying the mutant alleles s (shrunken), w (white aleurone), and y (waxy endosperm)

, all paired with their normal wild-type alleles. This triple heterozygote was testcrossed, and the progeny contained 116 shrunken, white; 4 fully wild type; 2538 shrunken; 601 shrunken, waxy; 626 white; 2708 white, waxy; 2 shrunken, white, waxy; and 113 waxy.
a. Determine if any of these three loci are linked, and, if so, show map distances.

b. Show the allele arrangement on the chromosomes of the triple heterozygote used in the testcross.

Answer a, b with explanation:

the best way to determine whether there is linkage or not we use chi-square analysis. It tells us that it is highly doubtful that the three genes assort independently. To determine linkage by simple check, look at gene-pairs. As this is a test-cross, independent assortment of genes predicts a 1:1:1:1 ratio.

Comparing shrunken and white, the frequencies are:

+ + (113 + 4)/total

s wh (116 + 2)/total

+ wh (2708 + 626)/total

s + (2538 + 601)/total

it indicates that these is no independent assortment between white and shrunken, which indicates a linkage.

Now Comparing shrunken and waxy, the frequencies are:

+ + (626 + 4)/total

s wa (601 + 2)/total

+ wa (2708 + 113)/total

s + (2538 + 116)/total

It indicates that there is no independent assortment between waxy and shrunken, which indicates a linkage.

Comparing white and waxy, the frequencies are:

+ + (2538 + 4)/total

wh wa (2708 + 2)/total

wh + (626 + 116)/total

+ wa (601 + 113)/total

This calculation shows that there is no independent assortment between white and waxy, which indicates a linkage. Because all three genes are linked therefore the strains must be + s +/wh + wa and wh s wa/wh s wa (compare most frequent, parentals, to least frequent, double crossovers, to obtain the gene order). The cross can be written as:  P = + s +/wh + wa * wh s wa/wh s wa

F1 = as in problem

Crossovers between white and shrunken are: 113+116+4+2= 235

Crossovers between shrunken and waxy are: 601+626+4+2=1233

Dividing by the total number of progeny and multiplying by 100 percent yields the following map:

3.5 m.u. 18.4 m.u.

white shrunken waxy

Answer c with explanation:

Interference = 1 – (observed double crossovers/expected double crossovers)

= 1 – 6/(0.035)(0.184)(6,708)

=0.86

Pretend to be a green plant and tell me about ur day(make sure it explains photosynthesis) *using all my points*
monitta

Answer:

Plants are made up of roots, stems, and leaves, and most produce flowers, fruit, and seeds. ... Using carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight, the chlorophyll makes the food that the plant needs. This process is called photosynthesis. During this process, plants release oxygen into the air. During the day, plants soak up sunlight during photosynthesis, the process they use to get energy. But when the sun goes down, plants' opportunity to eat disappears and other physiological processes take over, including energy metabolism and growth. Plants release oxygen during the day in the presence of natural light through the process of photosynthesis. While at night, the plants uptake oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which is called respiration.

Describe the biome in which the species lives and the properties of the biome
diamong [38]

Answer:

A biome is described as an area of the planet, which is classified on the basis of plants and animals living in that area. Soil, amount of light, temperature, and water are some of the important factors that determine what type of life exists in a biome.

The temperature, vegetation, and precipitation are the important characteristics of the biome.

Examples of biomes include tundra, desert etc.
