Explain how a genetic map (in map units) is related to actual physical distance (in base pairs of DNA).

Biology
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
6 0

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!

Pyramids depicting the number of organisms or biomass may be inverted, upright, or even diamond-shaped.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - as energy lost at every trophic level.

Explanation:

In any ecological ecosystem the energy pyramids always upright unlike other pyramids such as biomass showing the number of organisms, that can be diamond shape, inverted or upright.

The main reason behind this is due to the fact that it is only a pyramid in the ecosystem that always unidirectional in the food chain which is always some energy lost with an increase in the trophic level in the food chain. This loss of energy always gets back to the atmosphere in each step of the food chain.
