Answer:

25% or 1/4

Explanation:

The gene for colour in Heliodors is controlled by two contrasting alleles that codes for Red (R) and Yellow (Y) colours. However, these two alleles exhibit incomplete dominance, which is a phenomenon whereby a combination of both alleles gives rise to a third intermediate phenotype that is a blending of the other two parental phenotypes. In this case, both colours gives rise to a heterozygous Orange coloration (RY) in Heliodors.

However, if two orange Heliodors (RY) are crossed, four possible offsprings will be produced with the genotypes: RR, RY, RY, YY. This shows a phenotypic ratio of 1 red: 2orange: 1yellow. Hence, the probability of having a child with red coloration is 1 out of 4 possible offsprings i.e. 1/4.

Expressing this in percentage, we have 1/4 × 100 = 25%.

Answer:

3.5 percent (3.5%)

Explanation:

In genetics, crossing over or 'recombination' refers to the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I. The map units (m.u.), also known as centimorgans, represent a measure of genetic linkage between genes/loci located on the same chromosome. One map unit (1 m.u.) is equal to a 1 percent chance that two gene/loci (in this case, genes H and K) will be separated during meiosis by recombination. In the example above, it means that among their progeny, 3.5 percent (3.5%) will be recombinant for the two genes (H and K), and 96.5 percent (96.5%) will have the parental combination of these genes.

GABA is a neurotransmitter that inhibits postsynaptic activity

Explanation:

Gamma amino butyric acid, GABA, is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in that, once released to the synapse, it inhibits or check muscular contractions by suspending further activity of the adjacent motor neuron.

Thus, by this mechanism, GABA inhibits postsynaptic activity
