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%

Explanation:

Solids:

Particles stay close together with a pattern

Particles do not flow freely

Definite shape and definite volume

Liquids:

Particles are closer together (compared to gas) with somewhat of a pattern

Particles flow freely

Somewhat strong attractive forces that hold an indefinite shape

Gas:

Particles spread out without a pattern

Particles flow everywhere (they are like kids on a sugar rush)

Weak attractive forces that hold no shape or volume

Indefinite shape and indefinite volume

Not entirely sure what compressibility is so i skipped that one for all of them

Which one of the following statements is true? A. Voluntary hyperventilation results in acidosis. B. Emphysema directly impairs
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Voluntary hyperventilation results in alkalosis, not in acidosis. Alkalosis takes place when the body possesses too many bases. It can take place due to decreased levels of carbon dioxide or due to enhanced level of bicarbonates in the blood, that is, a base.  

Emphysema directly impairs exhalation more than it directly impairs inhalation. Emphysema refers to a lung disorder, which leads to shortness of breath. In the individuals suffering from the condition, the air sacs in the lungs, that is, alveoli get damaged.  

The hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the right at the time of metabolic acidosis. The low partial pressure of oxygen within the lungs results in the constriction of pulmonary arterioles. Thus, all the mentioned statements are false.

Describe how amoebas obtain food?
monitta
Amoeba acquires it food by endocytosis, that is, a small region in the plasma membrane which ultimately forms a intra-cellular membrane-bound vescicle. It engulfs it food using its pseudopodia (temporary protrusion of the surface of the amoeboid cell used for feeding and movement) and forms a vacuole around it. When the food is already trapped inside, it releases a digestive enzyme to digest it. Intake of liquid particles is pinocytosis (cell drinking) while intake of solid particles is phagocytosis (cell eating).
