In the the fruit fly Drosophila, there is a dominant gene for normal wings and its recessive allele for vestigial wings. At anot

her gene locus on the same chromosome, there is a dominant gene for red eyes and its recessive allele for purple eyes. A male that was heterozygous at both gene loci was mated with a female that was homozygous for both recessive alleles and the following results were observed among the offspring:
Normal wings and red eyes - 420
Vestigial wings and red eyes - 80
Normal wings and purple eyes - 70
Vestigial wings and purple eyes - 430

According to these data, what is the distance, in centimorgans, between these 2 gene loci? (Enter the number only without the units. For example, 100 cM would be entered as 100)

Answer:

15

Explanation:

According to linkage theory, two genes present on the same chromosome tend to get inherited together. So the gametes produced are not equal in number and parental type offspring are observed more in number than the new recombinant types.

Here, normal wings, red eyes (420) and vestigial wings, purple eyes (430) are most in number hence they are the parental type offspring.

Vestigial wings, red eyes = 80 : recombinant

Normal wings, purple eyes = 70 : recombinant

Distance between two genes in cM = recombination frequency = (total number of recombinants / total progeny)*100

= [(80+70)/(420+80+70+430)]*100

= (150/1000)*100

= 0.15*100 = 15cM

How does human evolution or natural selection related to the susceptibility of disease?
const2013 [10]

due to the pollution and the evolution by men, the cells in our bodies must lose something in order to get something better, in this case, our ability to avoid cancers, diseases. and sicknesses is lost, but we have evolved into even more intelligent species, thus called HOMO SAPIANS

Help please I'm so confused
Sergio [31]

Hi,

Attached is solution diagram. You can see that true breeding means both have same alleles for purple PP and white WW flowers.

They were crossed to produce hybrid plants that all had purple flowers PW because purple was the dominant trait.

However, upon self fertilization of those hybrid plants, both purple and white flower plants were produced in 3:1.

Hope it helps!

Why are volcanoes so important to geologists?
Kaylis [27]
The location and types of volcanoes are related to plate tectonics as well, so in that sense volcanoes also help us to understand about the tectonic history of a region because if there are volcanoes someplace even if they're not currently active we know that that must have been some sort of a plate uwu
