In a diploid species of plant, the genes for plant height and fruit shape are syntenic and separated by 18 m.u. Allele D produce

s tall plants and is dominant to d for short plant, and allele R produces round fruit and is dominant to r for oval fruit.
a. Identify the gametes for a plant with the genotype DR/dr, label parental and recombinants and give the frequency of each gamete type.
b. Give the same information for a plant with genotype Dr/dR

Answer and Explanation:

Crossing-over between two genes that are very close to each other in the chromosome is not that common. Crossing-over during meiosis occurs random positions all along the chromosome. Then, crossing-over frequency between two genes depends on the distance between them. A short distance between genes is a very little target for crossing-over to occur, which means that only a few of them will happen, compared with the number of events between genes that are more separated between each other.

  • Two genes that are very close will have a few recombination events and are strongly bounded.
  • Two separated genes will have more chances of recombination and are not bound.

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.  

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which the recombination frequency is 1 in 100 meiotic products.

So, en the exposed example:

a.

Identify the gametes for a plant with the genotype DR/dr and label parental and recombinants

Gametes     DR parental type

                   Dr  recombinant type

                   dr  parental type

                  dR recombinant type

Give the frequency of each gamete type.

               18 map units = 18 % of recombination in total

                                    = % Dr + % dR

                                     = 9% + 9%

                100% - 18% = 82% of parental in total =

                                    = % of DR + % dr

                                    = 41% + 41%

The frequency for each gamete is:

DR 41%

dr 41%

Dr 9%

dR 9%

b.

Identify the gametes for a plant with the genotype Dr/dR

Gametes     Dr parental type

                   DR  recombinant type

                   dR  parental type

                   dr recombinant type

Give the frequency of each gamete type.

              18 map units = 18 % of recombination in total  

                                     = % DR + % dr

                                     = 9% + 9%

                100% - 18% = 82% of parental in total =

                                    = % of Dr + % dR

                                    = 41% + 41%

The frequency for each gamete is:

Dr 41%

dR 41%

dr 9%

DR 9%

Why did the otter population increase so quickly at first?​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

it increased so fast because as more and more came to be, their genes evolved to allow them to adapt to their surroundings and prededators which allowed them to live longer, strive in the envirnoment and make even more babies.

what happens to the two small balloons inside as you pull down the big balloon at the bottom of the model?​
xeze [42]

Answer:

The lower pressure balloon will expand. Figure 2 (above left) shows a typical initial configuration: the smaller balloon has the higher pressure. So, when the valve is opened, the smaller balloon pushes air into the larger balloon. It becomes smaller, and the larger balloon becomes larger.

Hope this is helps out
