Answer:

height -------- color --------- mood

           (13.2cM)      (14.5cM)

C=0.421

I = 0.579

Explanation:

We have the number of descendants of each phenotype product of the tri-hybrid cross.

Phenotype Number

  • pink, tall, happy            580
  • blue, dwarf, gloomy     601
  • pink, tall, gloomy         113
  • blue, dwarf, happy      107
  • blue, tall, happy              8
  • pink, dwarf, gloomy        6
  • blue, tall, gloomy          98
  • pink, dwarf, happy      101

Total number of individuals = 1614 = N

Knowing that the genes are linked, we can calculate genetic distances between them. First, we need to know their order in the chromosome, and to do so, we need to compare the phenotypes of the parental with the ones of the double recombinants. We can recognize the parental in the descendants because their phenotypes are the most frequent, while the double recombinants are the less frequent. So:

Parental)

  • Pink, tall, happy            580 individuals
  • Blue, dwarf, gloomy      601 individuals

Simple recombinant)

  • Pink Tall Gloomy           113 individuals
  • Blue, Dwarf, Happy       107 individuals
  • Blue Tall Gloomy             98 individuals
  • Pink Dwarf Happy          101 individuals

Double Recombinant)  

  • Blue Tall Happy                 8 individuals
  • Pink  Dwarf Gloomy           6 individuals  

Comparing them we realize that parental and double recombinant individuals differ in the position of the gene codifying for <u>color</u><u>.</u> They only change in the position of Blue and Pink. This suggests that the position of the color gene is in the middle of the other two genes, height and mood, because in a double recombinant only the central gene changes position in the chromatid.  

So, the alphabetic order of the genes is:

---- height ---- color ----- mood ----

Now we will call Region I to the area between Height and Color, and Region II to the area between Color and Mood.

Once established the order of the genes we can calculate distances between them, and we will do it from the central gene to the genes on each side. First We will calculate the recombination frequencies, and we will do it by region. We will call P1 to the recombination frequency between Height and color genes, and P2 to the recombination frequency between color and mood.

P1 = (R + DR) / N

P2 = (R + DR)/ N

Where: R is the number of recombinants in each region (the ones that have an intermediate phenotypic frequency), DR is the number of double recombinants in each region, and N is the total number of individuals.  So:

Region I

Tall------ Pink--------happy  (Parental) 580 individuals

Dwarf ---Pink------- Happy (Simple Recombinant) 101 individuals

Dwarf--- Pink-------Gloomy (Double Recombinant) 6 individuals

Dwarf----Blue-------Gloomy (Parental) 601 individuals

Tall ------Blue------- Gloomy (Simple Recombinant)  98 individuals

Tall ----- Blue------- Happy   (Double Recombinant) 8 individuals  

Region II

Tall------ Pink--------happy (Parental) 580 individuals

Tall-------Pink------- Gloomy (Simple Recombinant) 113 individuals

Dwarf----Pink------- Gloomy (Double Recombinant) 6 individuals

Dwarf----Blue-------Gloomy (Parental) 601 individuals

Dwarf ----Blue-------Happy (Simple Recombinant) 107 individuals

Tall ----- Blue------- Happy   (Double Recombinant) 8 individuals

In each region, the highlighted traits are the ones that suffered recombination.

  • P1 = (R + DR) / N

P1 = (101+6+98+8)/1614

P1 = 213/1614

P1 = 0.132    

  • P2= = (R + DR) / N

P2 = (113+6+107+8)/1614

P1 = 234/1614

P1 = 0.145

Now, to calculate the recombination frequency between the two extreme genes, height and mood, we can just perform addition or a sum:

  • P1 + P2= Pt

0.132 + 0.145 = Pt

0.277=Pt

The genetic distance will result from multiplying that frequency by 100 and expressing it in map units (MU). One centiMorgan (cM) equals one map unit (MU).  

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one results in a recombinant product.  

Now we must multiply each recombination frequency by 100 to get the genetic distance in map units:

GD1= P1 x 100 = 0.132 x 100 = 13.2 MU = 13.2 cM

GD2= P2 x 100 = 0.145 x 100 = 14.5 MU = 14.5 cM

GD3=Pt x 100 = 0.277 x 100 = 27.7 MU = 27.7 cM

To calculate the coefficient of coincidence, CC, we must use the next formula:

CC= observed double recombinant frequency/expected double recombinant frequency

Note:  

-observed double recombinant frequency=total number of observed double recombinant individuals/total number of individuals

-expected double recombinant frequency: recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.

  • CC= ((6 + 8)/1614)/0.132x0.145

        CC=0.008/0.019

        CC=0.421

The coefficient of interference, I, is complementary with CC.

I = 1 - CC

I = 1 - 0.421

I = 0.579

Describe how ADH affects the kidney tubules to bring about the relationship
kolbaska11 [484]

The Antidiuretic hormone ( ADH ) affects the kidney tubules tp bring about the reabsorption of water in the glomerular filtrate.

Thus, the Antidiuretic hormone ( ADH ) also play a vital role in the kidney in homeostasis

<h3>What is homeostasis?</h3>

Homeostasis can simply be defined as the steady maintenance of the internal environment of an organism. Living organisms usually find a way to balance any low or high concentration of substances in the internal environment

Below are what makes up the internal environment of an organism:

  • Blood
  • Lymph
  • Intercellular fluids

So therefore, cell structures involved releases glucagon to raises the blood glucose levels when the glucose levels in the blood is low

The science that includes the study of tumor cells, macrophages and protein synthesis is called
GalinKa [24]

The science of Cancer Biology focuses on the study of the different mechanisms and fundamental process of cell growth, the transformation of normal to cancer cells, and the metastasis or spread of these cancer cells to other parts of the body.  


As such, it includes the study of how tumor cells develop and grow. It also includes studying how the immune system responds to cancer cells, thus including macrophages and their response to the presence of pathogens and cancer cells.  Underlying all these is the inclusion of a study on protein synthesis as it is the process where biological cells build and create new specific proteins in the body.
