Four genes (A, B, C, D) are on the same chromosome in the sequence D, A, B, C. The distance between A and B is 4 map units, betw

een A and C is 6 map units, between B and C is 2 map units, and between B and D is 5 map units. The recombinant frequency between genes C and D should be:

Answer:

7%.

Explanation:

The recombinant progeny might occur due to the exchange of genetic material between non sister chromatids known as crossing over during the meiosis.

The chromosome sequence is DABC. A and B distance is 4 map units,  B and C is 2 map units,  B and D is 5 map units. The distance between A and D is 1 map unit that can be calculated by subtracting the distance between BD and AB ( 5-4). The CD map distance can be calculated by adding the distance between AD, AB and BC ( 1 + 4+ 2). The recombination frequency is equal to distance between them is 7%.

Thus, the answer is 7%.

The first strong evidence for colinearity between a gene and its polypeptide product resulted from studies by:
ozzi

Answer:

The correct answer is option c, that is, Charles Yanofsky.

Explanation:

An American geneticist, Charles Yanofsky, worked as a faculty at Stanford University took part in the development of one gene-one enzyme hypothesis, and found attenuation, that is, a riboswitch mechanism.  

In the mechanism, the messenger RNA modifies its shape in response to a small molecule, and therefore, changes its binding capability for the regulatory region of an operon and a gene. His studies suggested that genes and proteins are co-linear. If the section of the intron in the gene gets mutated, then the protein generated by the protein also gets mutated.

Discuss the steps that the animals cells breaks down glucose to produce usable energy
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

As the heart pumps, glucose is carried in the bloodstream to cells all over the animal’s body. Oxygen which enters the animal’s body through its respiratory system (lungs, gills, skin, or exoskeleton) is carried by its transport system (blood for many animals to every animal cell. Once the glucose and oxygen arrive in the cell they can go through a chemical reaction. Glucose reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Cells transform the chemical energy in the glucose molecules into energy for cell functions, motion energy, and heat. Because of cellular respiration, muscle cells have access to the energy necessary to contract or relax in response to a signal from the brain sent through nerve cells, so muscles can contract or relax enabling the animal to move. During cellular respiration, energy is released in the cell to enable the work of the cell to occur. The atoms found in glucose are rearranged into carbon dioxide and water and are no longer needed by the cell so they are considered waste products. Cells have to get rid of unwanted waste products. Carbon dioxide and water move out of cells and into the blood. The blood carries the carbon dioxide and water to different places in different animals (the lungs, gills, skin, kidneys, or exoskeleton) where they are released into the environment. Animal movement we observe at the macroscopic scale is possible because cellular respiration is happening at the atomic-molecular scale.

Following an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a population of fish evolves increased intolerance to oil over a period of several
frosja888 [35]

A

This should be considered a case of natural selection because humans were not selecting for particular desirable traits.

Explanation:

The individuals in the population who held even the slightest advantage in the tolerance of the oil spill had higher chances of surviving and passing their genes to the next generation. Fishes with low tolerance perished even before getting to maturity.  Therefore with each generation, traits for oil tolerance in the population increased by natural selection enabling the population to evolve towards  increased intolerance to oil over a period of several generations.

List several ways in which obelia differs from hydra
allochka39001 [22]

Hydra and Obelia are cnidarians (species of aquatic organisms) that belongs to the Class Hydrozoa.  

Several ways in which Obelia differs from Hydra are;

  1. Hydra is a predative species that lives on substrates such as wood, while Obelia is a colonial species that lives as polyps on  branched frameworks.  
  2. Hydra is found in freshwater habitats, while Obelia is found in marine habitats.
  3. Hydra undergoes the medusa form in its life cycle, while Obelia undergoes the two forms (polyp and medusa) in its life cycle.
  4. Hydra has great regenerative powers while Obelia does not have great regenerative powers.
