The journey of the food through the digestive system will actually digest the food. The rest will be given out as feces.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The digestive system actually consists of digestive tract and Digestive glands. The processes that are associated with digestive system is - ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion.

The food that is taken is first smashed and chewed into a rough bolus by mixing with saliva. The salivary amylase slightly digests the starch into dextrin.

Then the food is engulfed through the oesophagus into stomach. Inside stomach, the food is mixed with an enzyme pepsin and HCl. Pepsin digests the proteins into peptones and peptides. The food is converted into a bolus and transported into duodenum.

In duodenum, there are several enzymes from small intestine and pancreas breaks the fats into fatty acids, proteins into peptides and starch into carbohydrates like glucose. They are absorbed and the undigested substances are left over ad feces.

For all questions, assume that you have genes for beak color, tail-feather length, and feather color all linked (located) on the
Effectus [21]

1. If we cross YyLl (heterozygous parent with dominant traits) with yyll (homozygous parent with recessive traits)

P:  YyLl  x  yyll

F1 generation: YyLl: 400 Yyll: 100 yyLl: 100 yyll: 400

Recombinant offspring are those children whose genes contain a non-parental allele combination  (neither allele group is directly inherited from either parent). This happens when genes are located on the same chromosome but are so far apart from one another so that their alleles get crossed over during meiosis. In this case, Yyll and yyLl are the recombinant.

2. Calculation of distance between Y and L.  

The numbers of the two recombinant types is 200 (100 Yyll + 100 yyLl) and 800 parental offspring.

Total number of offspring is 1000.

So: 200/1000*100=20 map units.

There is 20 percent recombinant offspring frequency.
