Two autosomal genes, J and K, are 60 map units apart. You perform the following testcross: J K / j k x j k / j k. At what freque
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  • J K / j k = 20%
  • j k / j k = 20%
  • J k / j k = 30%
  • j K / j k = 30%                

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. 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.

So, en the exposed example:

  • J and K are autosomal genes
  • J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
  • 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross)             J K / j k                    x                  j k / j k

Gametes) JK  Parental                                     jk, jk, jk, jk

                jk   Parental                                  

                Jk   Recombinant                          

                 jK   Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

                              30% Jk  +  30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

                            20% JK   +   20% jk

Punnet Square)           JK       jk      Jk      jK

                          jk     JK/jk   jk/jk   Jk/jk   jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%

Which of the following is not a common teratogen? a. HIV infection b. SSRI antidepressant medications c. Folic acid d. Alcohol
poizon [28]

Option C

Folic acid  is not a common teratogen

<u>Explanation:</u>

Teratogen -  Any factor that can interrupt the growth of a fetus or embryo. Teratogens may generate a birth deformity in the child. Or a teratogen may terminate the pregnancy unmitigated. The aspects of teratogens include radiation, parental infections, drugs.

Alcohol exploitation can produce mental obstacles, distortion, germination obstacles, miscarriage, and behavioral complications in newborns. Women who have not taken the hepatitis B vaccine should be held for immunization if they are at danger of sexually dispatched disease or blood appearance. The vaccine may be administered during pregnancy. SSRI antidepressant medications is also a factor of teratogen to cause deformity to fetus growth.
