After consulting a genetic map of Drosophila melanogaster, you find that two genes you are interested in lie 72 map units apart.

If you do a 2-point testcross for these two genes, what percentage of the progeny do you expect to be recombinant?

Answer:

The percentage of recombination frequency will be greater than or equal to 50%.

Explanation:

A distance of 72 map units is a substantial distance so two genes located this much distance apart will segregate almost independently or we can say that they will be considered as unlinked genes that is why the recombination frequency will be greater than or equal to 50%. Recombination frequency in turn gives us an idea of how many progeny are produced with genes which underwent crossing over during meiosis in parental gametes so that they have new combinations of genes which are different than parents leading to variations. In short in this example, 50% or more progeny will be recombinants.

In pea plants, tallness (T) is dominant to shortness (t). What is the predicted genotypic ratio of the offspring if a homozygous
tino4ka555 [31]
First, to answer this question, you need to draw a Punnett square. So you put the homozygous short alleles (tt) on top of the square, and the heterozygous tall alleles (Tt) on the left side of the square (or vice versa, it doesn't really matter).

When you create the Punnett Square, you then perform the cross between the two plants' alleles. I cross t with T and that gives me Tt. Same with the next one, t and T becomes Tt. Then, I cross t with t and that gives me tt. Same with the next one, t and t becomes tt.

So, the answer here would then be c. 50 percent Tt, 50 percent tt. You might say, well, couldn't answer d also work? Answer d could only work if the question was asking for the phenotypic ratio of the offspring. Then you could say 50% tall, 50% short. But the question asks for the genotypic ratio, so it would instead be c. 50 percent Tt, 50 percent tt.

Hope this helps!

What function of the cell does cancer mainly affect?
ikadub [295]
Answer:

A) Cell Division

Explanation:

When someone has cancer their cells grow abnormally and spread very fast ( which is bad because these cells have cancer in them which spread around your body it’s why most people who are in late stages of cancer usually develop it in other places) . Normal body cells grow and divide and know to stop growing. Over time, they also die. Unlike these normal cells, cancer cells just continue to grow and divide out of control and don't die when they're supposed to.

Cancer cells usually group or clump together to form tumors.

Examples of Newton's 2nd Law, If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car, the car will have more acceleration than the truck, because the car has less mass. It is easier to push an empty shopping cart than a full one, because the full shopping cart has more mass than the empty one.
