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.

Marina CMI [18]
Genetics, blood type gene has two alleles, each allele has genotype A, B or O. The A and B are dominant, and O is recessive. So allele A combined with allele O is type A. Similarly, BO is type B, AA is type A, BB is type B, OO is type O, and AB is typeAB.

If both parents have type A blood, then the alleles could be AA or AO, thus the allele A frequency is 75%, allele O frequency is 25% for both parents. 
So the chance of alleles OO is 25% × 25% = 6.25%, 
alleles AA is 75% × 75% = 56.25%, 
alleles AO is 75% × 25% = 18.75%, 
alleles OA is 25% × 75% = 18.75%.
Since AA, AO and OA are blood type A, and OO is blood type O, thus their child has 6.25% chance to be blood type O and 93.75% chance to be blood type A. 

The +/- is called the rhesus factor, with + being dominant, and - being recessive.
So if both parents are -, the kids are always -, otherwise the kids might be + or -.

Which of the following is the MOST complex?\
artcher [175]

Answer: Hi!

Your answer would be a), eukaryotic cells. We should automatically know that prokaryotic cells are less complex than eukaryotic cells. However, the last two options, Ebola and Virus, are both viruses. Viruses are not considered living and they don't really do anything besides replicate, which they need living cells to do. On the other hand, Eukaryotic cells have organelles, a nucleus, etc. They are definitely classified as living, and complex!

Hope this helps!
