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

Biology

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!

How do dominant genes and recessive genes affect taste?
kotegsom [21]

Researchers have identified specific gene variants in the receptors that detect sweetness: TAS1R2 and TAS1R3. There is also high variation in the detection of bitterness. However, the story is more complicated than sweet taste, as we have 25 receptors that detect different bitter molecules

In a humoral or antibody-mediated immune response, specific B cells are stimulated by Helper T cells to help transform into plas
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

An important feature that B-cells must have in order to become plasma cells and synthesize antibodies is increased rough endoplasmic reticulum in order to have the surface area needed for antibody production (option A).

Explanation:

The transformation of B cells into plasma cells to produce antibodies is a well known function of lymphocytes related to the immune response. This leads to a series of structural transformations in order to performs their function.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has the function of contributing to protein synthesis, in conjunction with the ribosomes that are attached to it and the information of the mRNA.

<em>One of the changes experienced by B cells in their transition to plasma cells is the availability of larger RERs, in preparation for antibody synthesis, formed mostly by proteins</em>.
