Answer:
(B) Garden pea has 7 linkage groups, and Neurospora has 7.
Explanation:
<u>Number of linkage group is always equal to type of chromosomes.</u> In garden pea which is a diploid organism, there are 7 linkage groups because the homologous chromosomes of a pair are alike so even though the total number of chromosomes are 14 yet no. of linkage group will be 7.
Here, it may also be noted that <u>there is no separate male or female chromosomes i.e. no allosomic pair</u> in this organism which are usually different for males and lead to the increase in linkage groups. For example in human males out of the 23 pairs, we have 23rd pair which leads to the increase in linkage groups as compared to number of diploid sets of chromosomes. In human males, 22 pairs of chromosomes are alike but the 23rd pair is different which has 1 X chromosome and 1 Y chromosome which leads to a total of 22+1+1 = 24 linkage groups. In contrast to this, human females have only 23 linkage groups because in females 23rd pair of chromosome is XX in which both the X chromosomes are alike so it does not lead to an increase in linkage groups.
Neurospora crassa has 7 haploid chromosomes so the type of chromosomes and total number of chromosomes both are 7. Since type of chromosomes are 7, the linkage groups will also be 7 in this organism.
Answer:
The correct option is <em>B) Some wolves may have had variants in their digestion that allowed them to eat wheat, rice, barley, corn, and potatoes and so were able to survive with humans.</em>
Explanation:
Organism of a population might have genetic variations in them due to many reasons. The species of a population which are better adapted to live in a particular area are able to survive and produce more offsprings. As a result, that particular area increases in that genetic variant.
In the above scenario, some of the wolves had variants in their digestion which made them better adapted to live with the humans as they could eat wheat, rice etc. The wolves which did not have variants in their digestion couldn't survive in the human areas.
Food Chains: Food chain is a model that shows flow of energy and nutrients from one organism to another organism in an ecosystem. ... A food also shows the relation between organisms as who they are related with each other by the food they eat. Plants and animals requires some type of food for survival.
I believe A. Barnacles living on a whale's skin is an example of a particular symbiotic relationship.
