Answer:

The two genes are linked together

Explanation:

<em>The conclusion that can be drawn about the arrangement of the genes on the chromosome in the Aa Bb parent is that the two genes are linked together. That is, they do not assort independently.</em>

When two genes are linked together, the number of recombinant offspring would be more than the number of offspring with parental traits. The frequency of recombination would also not exceed 50%.

<em>Recombination frequency = number of recombinant offspring/total number of offspring x 100%</em>

Number of recombinant offspring = 45 + 45 = 90

Total number of offspring = 45 + 45 + 5 + 5 = 100

Recombination frequency = 90/100 x 100% = 10%

Hence, the two genes Aa and Bb are said to be linked together.

Explain the 6 steps of how Darwin theorized how the finches formed new species:
Scilla [17]
Overproduction
Most species produce more offspring than can survive.

Competition
Since living space and food are limited, organisms must compete for the necessities.

Variation
Differences between individuals in a population.

Adaptations
Any kind of inherited trait that improves an organism's chances of survival.

Natural selection
The environment selects organisms with optimal traits to be the parents of the next generation.

Speciation
Over many generations, favorable adaptations accumulate and may result in a new species.

Which statement about Imipenem is accurate? a. active against methicillin-resistant staphylococci b. has a narrow spectrum of an
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures

Explanation:

Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.

Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.

What is the outer surface of Schwann cell in adjective form
NARA [144]
I am not sure if this question means the adjective form or the adjacent form? However, a Schwann cell is a type of glial cell and its main function is to support neurons. Adjacent to the Schwann cell are nodes of Ranvier which are gaps in the myelinated axons, and are believed to assist in potential generation among other things.
