A competent bacterial strain with genes a, b, and c is transformed by a donor bacterial fragment. Cotransformation frequencies f

or each gene pair are as follows: a and b 0.04% a and c 0.02% b and c 0.0064% Which conclusion can be definitively made from this data?
a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.
b) Gene order is a, b, then c.
c) Gene a is closer to c than to b.
d) Gene b is closer to c than to a.
e) Cotransformation of b and c is so frequent, they must be one gene

Answer:

a) Genes b and c are farthest apart.

Explanation:

Transformation occurs when a competent bacteria cell takes up genetic material from the environment. Usually a donor cell donates its gene fragment  which is then incorporated into the chromosome or plasmid of recipient bacterial cell.

Cotransformation occurs when two genes are taken up together by the recipient. The closer the genes lie to each other, more are the chances of them being taken up together. Contransformation frequency will be higher if two genes are close to each other. Here, cotransformation frequencies between three genes are given. Amongst them, the lowest frequency is 0.0064% which is present between gene b and c. Hence, gene b and c are the farthest apart.

Hypothesize how the chromosomes of the parents would look compared to the chromosomes of their child?
marysya [2.9K]

During fertilization, the encounter of gametes results in the fusion of their nuclei. The nucleus of the egg cell thus formed is therefore a mixture of the two nuclei.

So the parent will only give half of his chromosomes, so the child will have 50% of his chromosomes that resemble each of his parents.

Another factor that must be mentioned is the genetic recombination between the chromosomes that occurs during meiosis of the reproductive cells. Thus, this will give a heterogeneous chromosome resulting from recombination of the two chromosomes of each of its parents, and the child will have a unique combination chromosome but keeping the alleles of both parents.

A woman with normal BRCA alleles has a child with a man who has one mutated BRCA1 allele. What is the probability that the child
grigory [225]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the woman has normal BRCA alleles while the man carries one copy of the mutated BRCA allele (BRCA1). A diploid organism such as human beings can have two BRCA alleles. A child gets one BRCA allele from the mother and the other from the father.

The child of the couple would get one normal allele from the woman. However, with respect to the BRCA allele, the man would form two types of gametes in equal proportion. The 50% of his gametes would have the mutated BRCA1 allele while the rest 50% would carry the normal BRCA allele. Therefore, the man can transmit either normal or mutated BRCA allele to the child. So, there are 50% chances for the child to get the mutated allele.

The cells in this part of a plant form long, vertical tubes. What is the most
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

D. The tubes allow water and nutrients to be transported throughout

the plant.

Explanation:

option D supports the description of the cells. The long , vertical tubes transport water and nutrients and are most likely xylem and phloem vessels.

option A is wrong since, chloroplasts inside the cell helps in absorbing sunlight.

option C is also wrong, because water loss is controlled by the stomata in the leaves and they are not long tubes.

option B could possibly be right but option D is better suited.
