Answer:
The genes are linked and 10 mu apart.
Explanation:
A female AaBb rabbit is test crossed with a male rabbit (aabb). The male can only produce<em> ab</em> gametes (all the progeny will have ab on one of the homologous chromosomes).
If the genes assorted independently, the female would produce 4 types of gametes with the same frequency: 1/4 AB, 1/4 Ab, 1/4 aB and 1/4 ab.
However, the observed AB and ab gametes were much more frequent than Ab and aB, which means that the genes are linked and alleles on the same chromosome do not assort independently during meiosis.
Recombination is a rare event, so the most abundant gametes are the parentals. That is how we know that the mother had the AB/ab genotype. The recombinant gametes therefore are Ab and aB.
Distance (mu) = # Recombinants × 100/ Total progeny
Distance = (54 + 46) × 100/ 1000
Distance = 100 × 100/1000
Distance = 10 mu
Hey there!
Your answer is option "D."
Gravity is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass.
Gravity is why we are attracted to Earth, it pulls us to the ground.
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
1. An infinitely dense atom of matter explodes, releasing all matter in the known universe.
2. This matter clumps together forming rocks and dust; that which doesnt compact remains as gas.
3. The rocks and dust are pulled in to each other by their own gravity. These clumps get bigger and bigger, and form planets.
4. Gas and dust clouds, better known as nebulae, (sing. nebula) begin to react, clump together and generate heat. Stars are formed out of these nebulae (unsure of the process).
5. The stars, with their powerful gravitational pulls, drag in planets to form solar systems. This happens on a larger scale as well, as groups of millions of stars are formed into galaxies, huge swirling discs containing millions of stars each.
That's where we are today.
