In order for cells to become whole organisms, they must divide and differentiate. Cells divide all the time. That means that just one cell, a fertilized egg, is able to become the trillions of cells that make up your body, just by dividing. Those trillions of cells are not all the same though.

Just a little while after you started out as a fertilized egg, your cells started performing specific tasks, even started to look different because of that. Differentiation means that one cell performs a different function than another cell, depending on where it is in your body.

Not sure if this will help.

Genes for body color (B black dominant to b yellow) and wing shape (C straight dominant to c curved) are located on the same chr
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Map distance = Genetic distance, GD = 3.9 MU ≅ 4 MU

Explanation:

The more separated two genes are, the more chances of recombination there will be.  The closer they are, the fewer chances of recombination there will be. Two genes that are very close will have a few recombination events and are strongly bounded.    

To analyze the recombination frequency, we have to know that:

  • 1% of recombination = 1 map unit = 1centi Morgan = 1,000,000 base pairs.
  • And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.  

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products one of them results in a recombinant one.  

Knowing that the genes are linked, we can calculate genetic distances between them. First, we need to identify the genotypes of the parental gametes with the ones of the recombinants. We can recognize the parental gametes in the descendants because their phenotypes are the most frequent, while the recombinants are the less frequent. So:

Parentals:

  • black, curved 337
  • yellow, straight 364

Recombinants:

  • Black, straight 17
  • yellow, curved 12

To calculate the recombination frequency we will make use of the next formula: P = Recombinant number / Total of individuals.

P = Recombinant number / Total of individuals.  

P = 17 + 12 / 337 + 364 + 17 + 12

P = 29 / 730

P = 0.039

The genetic distance (GD) will result from multiplying that recombination frequency (P) by 100 and expressing it in map units (MU).

GD = P x 100

GD = 0.039 x 100

GD = 3.9 MU ≅ 4 MU
