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.

Each position of a codon can be occupied by one of four nucleotides. What is the minimum number of nucleotides per codon necessa
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The minimum number of nucleotides per codon necessary to specify all 20 amino acids that are found in proteins is <u>3</u>

Explanation:

There are four nucleic acids in the RNA, adenine uracil, guanine, cytosine. Each of them combines in groups of three to give the different amino acids. In total,  there are 64 different combinations of nucleic acids that codify the 20 amino acids that we need for our vital functions.

The minimum pH is 4 whereas the maximum pH is 14. The optimum pH of enzyme Y is about 9.

The minimum pH is 4 whereas the maximum pH is 14. Within this range, Enzyme Y will work.

As shown in the graph, as the pH increases so does the rate of Enzyme action. The optimum pH of enzyme Y is about 9. The rate of enzyme action increase till a pH of 9, then it begins to decrease.

Anna [14]
The negative impact of youth risk behavior considers the risks to youth health and the protective behaviors of health including smoking, drinking<span>, </span>drug use<span>, diet and physical activity. Depending upon one's social circumstance including the location of upbringing and access to education, the risk to health would increase, this could be affected by economic factors, with negative health impact increasing with the less access to resources. This directly impacts on the physical and mental well-being of an individual, with bad diet and lack of physical activity limiting a person's potential in the socioeconomic sphere and confidence and health.</span>
