Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rockand mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass.[1]

The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastalsettings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz. The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example, aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. For example, it is the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.

Sand is a non-renewable resource over human timescales, and sand suitable for making concrete is in high demand.[2] Desert sand, although plentiful, is not suitable for concrete, and 50 billion tons of beach sand and fossil sand is needed each year for construction.

Assume that a cross is made between AaBb and aabb plants and that the offspring occur in the following numbers: 106 AaBb, 48 Aab
Elenna [48]

Answer:

linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci

Explanation:

If two genes are not linked, number of recombinants and parental offspring will be equal. Here it is clearly visible that recombinants are less than parental offspring hence the genes are linked. Given, the offspring are in following numbers:

AaBb = 106 = Parental

aabb = 94 = Parental

Aabb = 48 = Recombinant

aaBb = 52 = Recombinant

Recombination frequency = (Number of recombinants/ Total progeny) * 100 = (100/300) * 100 = 33.33 %

1% recombination frequency= 1 map unit of distance between the two gene loci. So here the distance between the two gene loci is approximately 33 map units.

Hence, these results are consistent with linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci
