A cell biologist carefully measured the quantity of DNA in grasshopper cells growing in cell culture. Cells examined during the

G2 phase of the cell cycle contained 200 units of DNA. What would be the amount of DNA in one of the grasshopper daughter cells

Answer:

100 units

Explanation:

The mother cell contains 200 units of DNA. During cell division, this amount is split between the daughter cells produced and each daughter cell will receive half of the amount of DNA present in the parent cell.

Since mitotic cell division process gives rise to 2 daughter cells, each daughter cell will receive 100 units of DNA.

Two autosomal genes, J and K, are 60 map units apart. You perform the following testcross: J K / j k x j k / j k. At what freque
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  • J K / j k = 20%
  • j k / j k = 20%
  • J k / j k = 30%
  • j K / j k = 30%                

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.

So, en the exposed example:

  • J and K are autosomal genes
  • J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
  • 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross)             J K / j k                    x                  j k / j k

Gametes) JK  Parental                                     jk, jk, jk, jk

                jk   Parental                                  

                Jk   Recombinant                          

                 jK   Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

                              30% Jk  +  30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

                            20% JK   +   20% jk

Punnet Square)           JK       jk      Jk      jK

                          jk     JK/jk   jk/jk   Jk/jk   jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%

Which of the following is true of Mendelian inheritance
Ksivusya [100]
<h2><u>Answer</u> :</h2>

The correct option is A. If a dominant allele is present, the recessive allele won’t be seen.

The dominant allele is the one which appear, and the recessive one isn't shown.

For example - If a person has 2 alleles of eye colour as B ( black ) and b ( brown ), in which black is dominant and the brown one is recessive, then the person will have black eye colour because only dominant allele shows its characteristics.

Which statement describes the current theory about the relationship between the human population and mass extinction? The human
Flauer [41]
<span>The human population is increasing, so the likelihood of a mass extinction is also increasing.

The human population is increasing, and historically, as human population has increased, species have gone extinct. As human population increases, and also destroy more habitats to pay for higher standards of living, the probability of mass extinction increases. </span>
