Useful mutations become established much more quickly in a population of microorganisms, such as the cluster of E-coli bacteria

shown here, than they do in humans. The MOST LIKELY reason for this is that microorganisms
A) are smaller than humans.
B) reproduce asexually and at a fast rate.
C) are transparent, so their mutations are observed more often.
D) are exposed to environmental mutagens more often than humans.

Imagine you do a test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves (a dominant trait) and a white-flowered p
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
  • serrated leaves → dominant trait
  • smooth edges → recessive trait
  • purple color → dominant trait
  • white color → recessive trait
  • F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.

There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.

To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent

Before classifying insects into different orders, review the larger classifications for insects:
sukhopar [10]

For an organism to be classified in the animal kingdom it is necessary for that organism to be eukaryotic and multicellular. In addition, he must not be able to produce his own food (he must be heterotrophic), and must eat by eating food taken from the environment.

To be classified in the dilo arthropoda, the organism must have an external skeleton, a segmented body and articulated legs.

To be classified in the insect class, the organism must have a separate body in the head, chest and abdomen, have two antennae, two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs.

Discuss how a coal seam might be used as a key bed.
Sever21 [200]
Coal seams are far deep underground to be considered for opencast minings. These coal seams require underground mining. Since it is too deep underground, it can be used for mapping and correlation of sedimentary rocks or as a key bed.
