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!

What two types of amino acid sequences are needed in a protein to mediate post-translational farnesylation?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Post translation farnesylation may be defined as a type of prenylation in which the isoprenyl group is added to the cysteine residues of the protein. This modification is important for protein and membrane interaction.

Basically two types of amino acid are required for the farsenylation modification. The signal peptide sequence is the short amino acid sequence that targets the ribosome in the endoplasmic reticulum. The sequence is generally lysine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and leucine. The second sequence must be Caax (C is cysteine, a is aliphatic amino acid and X consists of C terminal amino acid.
