  • 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,

sergeinik [125]
Depends, if the biotic factor is a chipmunk or something of that case, its natural habitat is a rock, which is biotic. but...if the animal is something like a deer they don't need abiotic factors. its your chose to chose but I'm leaning more twords false because not ALL biotic factors cant go without an abiotic factor

What was marshall nirenberg and heinrich matthaeis contribution to our current understanding of the genetic code?
Julli [10]
Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Mattaeis contributed to out current understanding of the genetic code by discovering genetic codons. Their experiment deciphered the first of the 64 triplet codons in the genetic code by using nucleic acid homopolymer to translate specific amino acids. Their experiment cracked the first codon of the genetic code and showed that RNA controlled the production of certain types of proteins.<span />
