You have mated a phenotypically wild-type female of the genotype Xy+w+Xyw to a male with the genotype XywY. You counted 2205 tot

al F1 progeny and found 17 flies with gray bodies and white eyes and 12 flies that had yellow body and red eyes. What is the distance between these genes controlling body color and eye color on the X chromosome?

Answer:

1.31 cM

Explanation:

Total offspring = 2205

Since two genes are involved, F1 progeny should have four types of combination. Out of them two are 17 and 12 which definitely means they are in lesser number. Since recombinants are always less than parental progeny in linkage, the given two types are recombinants.

Recombination frequency = (Number of recombinants / Total progeny) * 100

= [ ( 17 + 12 ) / 2205 ] * 100

= ( 29 / 2205 ) * 100

= 1.31 %

Map distance = Recombination frequency

Hence, distance between two genes = 1.31 cM

Suppose there is a protein "A" which binds to a DNA sequence and increases transcription of the gene CBC23. In the presence of m
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

A = Activator

B = Effector

Explanation:

An activator is a protein which typically binds to a short (50–1500 bp) region of DNA which might be located either upstream (mainly) or downstream of a gene so as to cause increased transcription. This particular region of DNA is known as enhancer and activator is also  known as transcription factor. Activator is a trans-acting factor which binds to the cis-acting factor which is enhancer so as to enhance transcriptional expression.

But another protein named as effector may restrict activator from binding to the enhancer leading to a decrease in transcriptional expression by binding to the activator allosterically. Allosteric binding of effector to the activator causes conformational change in activator so it can no longer bind the enhancer.

What is a benefit of using bioenergy over nuclear energy?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

O Bioenergy does not release harmful greenhouse gasses.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy might not releases as much greenhouse gasses as fossil fuels do but it still releases some. Bioenergy produces energy by using 100% natural elements whereas nuclear energy does not.
