Answer:

The order of genes is- dp-cl-ap

Explanation:

The genes a be mapped on chromosome on the basis of the recombination frequency as the recombination shows that is the genes are linked or not.  In genetic mapping, 1 per cent recombination frequency is considered as 1 cM or map distance.

In the given question, the three gene distance are provided on the basis of which the gene can be mapped in the following manner:

1. Take the higher value of gene distance that is 42 m.u and plot them on the line,

2. now place second-highest value on the line that is 39 m.u.

3. The gene will be arranged in the order of dp-cl-ap.

4. dp--³---cl-----------³⁹---------------------ap.

Thus, dp-cl-ap is correct.

Explain what is meant by the statement, "Cells are very different, yet very similar."

Explain mutations and how they can cause genetic disease
nadya68 [22]
Answer:

A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals
called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.

Mutation has been the source of many Hollywood movies, but it's really a simple process of a mistake made in a DNA sequence as it's being copied. Some of that's just the background noise that DNA copying is not perfect, and we should be glad of that or evolution couldn't operate. But mutation can also be induced by things like radiation or carcinogens in a way that can increase the risk of cancers or birth defects. But it's pretty simple; it's basically an induced misspelling of the DNA sequence.
That's a mutation.


When a variant alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a health condition. A condition caused by variants in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene variants are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth.
