In sweet peas blue flowers are the result of a dominant factor (R) and red flowers of its recessive allele (r). Long pollen is d

ue to the dominant factor (L) and round pollen to its recessive allele (l). A plant homozygous for blue flowers and round pollen is crossed with one homozygous for red flowers and long pollen. The F1 individuals were crossed to red flowered, round pollen plants (test cross).Diagram this cross as though these genes were independently assorting and give the expected ratios.The actual results were: 23 blue, long; 153 blue, round; 155 red, long; 21 red, roundBased on the observed results are these genes assorting independently?If they are linked compute the cross-over frequency (map distance).

Answer:

a) If the genes are independent, the expected phenotypic ratios are:

1/4 blue, long; 1/4 blue, round; 1/4 red, long; 1/4 red, round

b) The genes are linked and separated by 12.5 map units.

Explanation:

Blue flowers (R) is dominant to red flowers (r)

Long pollen (L) is dominant to round pollen (l).

A plant homozygous for blue flowers and round pollen (Rl/Rl) is crossed with one homozygous for red flowers and long pollen (rL/rL).

The F1 individuals (Rl/rL) were test crossed (rl/rl).

<u>If the genes assort independently, the F1 individuals can produce 4 types of gametes, all with the same proportions:</u>

  • 1/4 RL
  • 1/4 Rl
  • 1/4 rL
  • 1/4 rl

The homozygous recessive individual can only produce <em>rl </em>gametes.

<u>The expected phenotypic ratios would be: </u>

  • 1/4 blue, long
  • 1/4 blue, round
  • 1/4 red, long
  • 1/4 red, round

<u>However, the actual results were: </u>

  • 23 blue, long (RL/rl)
  • 153 blue, round (Rl/rl)
  • 155 red, long (rL/rl)
  • 21 red, round (rl/rl)

Total: 352

As you can see, the individuals that inherited the parental gametes (Rl and rL) are the most abundant, and the other two are the recombinant gametes. The proportions of the four types of gametes are very different, so these two genes are linked.

Map distance = 100 × Number of recombinants/Total

Map distance = 100 × (23 + 21) / 352

Map distance = 12.5 map units.

Being a visual learner have you got any tips on how to study science?
sukhopar [10]
Even being a visual learner the trick is to take notes, even if you never look at the notes ever again its good to write them down, you are more likely to remember something you have written down rather than to just look at it. Science is something that could be easy, you just have to take it at your own pace, don't try to learn science by giving it a quick read or glance at it.

Although antacids containing calcium carbonate can increase calcium intake, what effect would excessive consumption of the carbo
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The blood pH will increase.

Explanation:

Antacids are the chemicals that works against the acids that produced in our stomach. Antacids are generally used to treat the excessive acidity of the stomach.

The intake of excessive carbonate base causes the release of gastric acid secretion in the stomach. Hence, the blood pH increases due to the presence of H + ions in the blood.

Thus, the blood pH will increase.

suggest and explain how the flow of blood in a person with patent ductus arteriosus differs from that of a person with a healthy
iren2701 [21]
Ductus Arteriosus is a blood vessel normally present in fetuses during development. The blood vessel is designed to bypass the pulmonary artery and brings blood to the Descending Aorta, as the fetus cannot breath through the lung (being as they are fluid filled). This is normally not a problem because oxygenated blood comes from the mother's blood supply.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus, is what happens when that vessel does not close. While not as dangerous as other congenital defects. However, because there is still a bypass, blood that normally need to be oxygenated by going through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs, can be diverted and placed into the blood stream without vital oxygen. This condition may eventually lead to CHF (congestive Heart Failure) and Pulmonary Hypertension if not treated.
