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.

If one strand of the DNA reads:<br> ATCCGCAT<br> What will the complementary strand be?
quester [9]

Answer:

in rna the strand would be   <u>  UAGGCGUA</u>

G goes with C and A goes with U ( unless there is a T within the strand already then its an A that airs up with it )

Explanation:

but if its in DNA the strand will be     <u>TAGGCGTA </u>

G goes with C        T goes with A

Answer:

Because salt is soluble in water, salt applied to such surfaces dissolves. Liquid water has what is known as a high dielectric constant, which allows the ions in the salt (positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine) to separate.

What several ways in which invasive species can be introduced? (intentionally or unintentionally).
mariarad [96]

Answer: Invasive species can harm both the natural resources in an ecosystem as well as threaten human use of these resources. An invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and other means.
