Explanation:

A map unit [or centimorgan (cM)] is a unit for measuring genetic linkage. It is defined as the distance between chromosome positions for which the expected average number of intervening chromosomal crossovers in a single generation is 0.01. <em>Its relation with actual physical distances is inconsistent </em>because the number of base pairs to which it corresponds varies widely across the genome, it also depends on whether the meiosis in which the crossing-over takes place is a part of male or female genes (female genome is 4782 cM long, while the male genome is only 2809 cM long).

I hope you find this information useful. Good luck!

A man is 1.7 m long. A paramecium is 85 µm long. How does the length of the man compare to the length of the paramecium?
NISA [10]

Answer is C. The man is twenty thousand (2 x 10⁴) times larger than the paramecium.

1 meter (m) = 10⁶ micrometers (µm)

Therefore, 1.7 m = 1.7 × 10⁶ µm

Thus, the length of the man compared to the length of the paramecium will be

1.7 × 10⁶ / 85 = 2× 10⁴ .  

Therefore, length of the man is  2× 10⁴ times larger than the length of the paramecium.

How many times and during which phase of meiosis do the chromosome replicate?
Travka [436]

Interphase is divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G 2 (second gap). During all three phases, the cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles. However, chromosomes are replicated only during the S phase. It is the preparatory phase for the cell before cell division.

Describe the trophic structure of energy in an ecosystem
ale4655 [162]
As you go up in an ecosystem the bigger animals have less energy. While the organisms down at the bottom like plants that create their own energy have greater amounts. This is because energy is rated doing everyday things. As energy travels up the food pyramid, it looses more and more energy. This is knower as the 10% rule. In which every time you go up 10% of energy is lost.
