Answer:

Centimorgan

Explanation:

Centimorgan is a unit that measures the recombinant frequency. When we say that recombinant frequency is 1 then it means that there is 1% chance of  separation of marker between two genetic locus when a  cross is carried out in the single generation. This unit was devised as a token of remembrance for geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan who was also a noble prize winner.  

There are one million base pairs in one centimorgan

Compare and contrast photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Many cellular processes rely on an electron donor and/or acceptor.
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Photosynthesis and respiration are reactions that complement each other in the environment. They are in reality the same reactions but occurring in reverse. While in photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen, through the respiration process glucose and oxygen yield carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is broken down by cellular respiration. Cellular respiration converts the glucose that is made by photosynthesis to oxygen. Photosynthesis converts the glucose that is made by cellular respiration to carbon dioxide

What are routes followed by nerve impulses as they pass through the nervous system?
n200080 [17]
Nervous system involves transmission of impulses from the receptors to the effector cells. it involves the detection of the stimuli by the receptor cells (includes the skin,eyes,mouth), then the stimuli is carried by the sensory neurone (joins the receptor cells and the spinal cord) to the central nervous system (the spinal cord), then the impulse is picked by the relay neurone and taken to the brain for processing, where the brain interprates the stimuli and sends a response. then the relay neurone from the brain joins to the motor neurone which connects the brain and the effector cells. The motor neurone carries the message to the effector cells (muscles and the glands), and finally a response is experienced in the specific place of the body by either movement of body muscles or secretions by the glands.
