Assume that two genes are 80 map units apart on chromosome II of Drosophila and that a cross is made between a doubly heterozygo

us female and a homozygous recessive male. What maximum percent recombination would be expected in the offspring of this type of cross

Answer:

The recombination frequency between two genes exhibits a positive correlation with the distance between them, that is, farther they are, and more will be the chance of recombination. Thus, recombination frequency is used to signify distance among the two genes, for example, 1 percent recombination frequency demonstrates distance of 1 map unit.  

Let us consider that the heterozygous female of genotype AaBb can generate four kinds of gametes, that is, AB, Ab, aB and ab. Of these, the two gametes are the outcomes of recombination, or it can be said that 50 percent are recombinants. Thus, it can be concluded that in case of two linked genes, the maximum probable recombination frequency is 50 percent.  

This shows that any genes, which are distant than 50 map units will function as unlinked and will function as if they were on distinct chromosomes, and the frequency of recombinant frequency will be 50 percent.  

In the given question, it is given that the map distance between the two genes is 80 map units, that is, more than 50 map units. The maximum probable recombinant offspring will be 50 percent of the entire offspring.

to is when a stimulus successfully stimulates an action potential in its specific neuron. how your brain interprets the message
Xelga [282]

Information about the body and its surroundings is provided through the senses. Olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), equilibrium (balance and body posture), vision, and hearing are the five distinctive senses that only humans possess. We also have broad senses, sometimes known as somatosensation, that can react to stimuli including pressure, temperature, pain, and vibration. Somatosensation includes the sense of limb position used to monitor kinesthesia (limb movement), proprioception (the position of bones, joints, and muscles), and vestibular sensory, which is an organism's sense of spatial direction and balance. Although the sensory systems connected to these senses vary greatly, they all have the same purpose: to cause the nervous system to produce an electrical signal in response to a stimulus, such as light, sound, or body position.

<h3>What is Action potential ?</h3>

When a neuron transfers information away from the cell body and down an axon, it experiences an action potential. The action potential is also referred to as a "spike" or a "impulse" by neuroscientists. A depolarizing current causes an explosion of electrical activity known as the action potential.

Different ions crossing the neuron membrane result in action potentials. The sodium channels first open in response to a stimulus. Because the inside of the neuron is negative compared to the outside and there are much more sodium ions on the inside, sodium ions rush within the cell.

Depolarization, overshoot, and repolarization are the three phases of an action potential.

Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

The genetic pattern demonstrated here is pleiotropy. Pleiotropy occurs when a gene or allele controls more than a single trait, the gene for red-stripe also controls the size of the reptiles.
