You are studying 5 genes: a, b, c, d, and e. In an attempt to map them, you perform a series of two-point crosses with the resul

ts listed below. Select the appropriate gene order based on the results of your experiment.
a-b = 15 map units;

a-c = 21 map units;

a-d = 1 map unit;

b-c = 6 map units;

b-e = 2 map units;

c-d = 20 map units;

c-e = 8 map units;

d-e = 12 map units.

Answer:

Gene order will be- a,d,e,b,c

Explanation:

Gene mapping refers to the arrangement of genes on the chromosomes. The genes can be mapped on the chromosome by calculation the recombination frequency in the hybrid crosses.

The recombination frequency can be represented on the chromosomes to show the distance between the genes which is measured as centimorgan. 1 percent recombination is considered 1 cM.

In the given question, since the distance between the gene has been provided therefore the genes can be mapped on the chromosome.

This could be done in the following manner-

1. Take the highest value of distance- 21 m. u between a and c.

2. Now take c as a reference point and arrange the other distance measuring distance from the c.

3. On this basis- c-d, c-e and b-c can be plotted.

4. Now, plot other values taking an as a reference point and plot the values b-e, a-b, a-d.

5. the genes will be arranged in the order a,d,e,b,c.

Thus, a,d,e,b,c is the correct answer.

What is salivary gland? tell its functions.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Parotid glands are the largest salivary gland. Each gland is approximately 6 cm long and 3-4 cm wide and can weigh up to 30 grams. They are located within each of our cheeks. In our oral cavity they are responsible for the secretion of about 20% of saliva. This saliva is known as serous i.e. more liquid and fluid. It helps in the first phase of the digestion of food, facilitate mastication "chewing". These glands secrete protein-rich fluid which is a suspension of alpha-amylase enzyme.

What chemical involved in the processes of photosynthesis has the greatest number of atoms per molecule? F carbon dioxide G gluc
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: The correct answer is Glucose.

The chemical formula of the given molecules are-

Carbon dioxide is CO₂, which means that it contains 2 oxygen and 1 carbon atom and therefore 3 atoms per molecule.

Glucose- C₆H₁₂O₆, which means that it contains 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms. Thus, total atoms are 24 per molecule.

Oxygen- O₂, which means that it contains 2 atoms of oxygen.

Water- H₂O, which means that it contains 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom and therefore 3 atoms per molecule.

Thus, glucose has greatest number of atoms per molecule.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

d) 5'-UGUGUGUGUGUGUGUG...-3'

Explanation:

A UG dinucleotide is when UG is repeated.

mRNAs are transcribed and translated as a 5' to 3' molecule. Therefore, the direction should be 5' - 3'.

For the mRNA to be in frame, it must start with UG. The only option that runs 5' - 3' and is in frame for a UG dinucleotide is d.
