  • One gene on one chromosome is next to another gene that controls a different characteristic. This indicates that genes are <u>strongly linked</u>.  When the genes are very close on the same chromosome, they are said to be linked. This means that the alleles, or the gene versions, put together in a chromosome will be more often inherited as a unit than separately.
  • The first gene contributes to the expression of the second gene. This indicates <u>non-epistatic gene interaction </u>. We say that gene interaction is non-epistatic when two or more genes interact, but no allele prevents the expression of another, but the first gene contributes to the expression of the second gene.

My guess:

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say that the answer to the first one is "strongly linked". Think of a chromosome as a phylogenic chart → 2 species that are beside each other are strongly linked, if compared to 2 species 3 spots apart form each other. So, 2 genes that are close to each other are strongly linked.

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say the answer to the second one is epistasis → which is the interaction between two different genes (different means they're not linked alleles).

Hope it helped,

katovenus [111]

Answer and Explanation: The figure below shows the doses of BPA administered to the female mice over time.

An experiment is used to determine cause and effect among variables. When the research is for the impact of a treatment, researchers randomly separate individuals in two groups:

  • <em><u>Control</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> doesn't receive any treament or a placebo or a treatment whose outcome is already known;
  • <em><u>Treatment</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> receives the treatment;

For the female mice on the image below, in the First Group is not injected any dosage of BPA, so they are the control group, while the <u>others</u> are <u>treatment group</u>.

The variables in a experiment are classified as independents or dependents:

  • <em><u>Independent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the cause;
  • <em><u>Dependent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the effect;

For the BPA research, since it is the effect of BPA over time on the mice's cells it is being investigated, <u>dosage</u> of BPA is the <u>independent</u> variable and <em>time</em> is the <em>dependent</em> variable.
