The following are the recombination frequencies for a set of genes found on the same chromosome: X-W 7% W-Y 10% X-Z 13% W-Z 20%

X-Y 17% What is the correct order for these genes using a linkage map analysis? Between which two genes is crossing over most likely to occur?

Options have not been provided for the question. They are as follows:

What is the correct order for these genes using a linkage map analysis?  

A. Z-X-Y-W

B. X-W-Z-Y

C. W-X-Y-Z

D. Y-W-Z-X

E. Z-X-W-Y

F. Y-X-W-Z

Between which two genes is crossing over most likely to occur?

A. B and D

B.X and Z

C. X and W

D. X and Y

E. W and Z

F. Y and W

G.Y and Z

Answer:

Correct order for these genes using a linkage map analysis: E. Z-X-W-Y

Two genes between which the crossover is most likely to occur: G.Y and Z

Explanation:

According to linkage concept, recombination frequency between two genes = distance between two genes in cM

Here, smallest distance is between X and W ( 7cM ) so they are present next to each other. Distance between X and Y is 17cM and between W and Y is 10cM so W is present between X and Y. Distance between X and Z is 13 cM. Since on one side of X, W and Y are already present Z lies on the other side. So, the final gene order comes out to be, Z-X-W-Y.

According to the gene order, Y and Z genes are farthest from each other. Chances of crossover or recombination increases with increasing distance between genes. So, Y and Z have the highest probability to show crossing over.

Eva8 [605]

The mechanoreceptor that is located deeper in the skin and responds continuously to stimulation and is associated with perceiving stretching of the skin is called Ruffini corpuscle.

Mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure. They are connected with sensory neurons that convert this mechanical pressure into electrical signal. It is of four types-

1. Merkel corpuscles- detect pressure and roughness on skin.

2. Ruffini corpuscles- detect deep tension in skin, skin stretch.

3. Meissner corpuscles- perception of light touch and slip on skin.

4. Pacinian corpuscles or Vater-panician corpuscles- detect rapid vibrations.

When these receptors sense a stimuli they gets excited and generates an impulse that travels through the nerve cells into the brain.

What is the purpose of the lab?
Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

Accordingly, the introductory physics laboratories have the following purposes and goals:

1. To provide an experimental foundation for the theoretical concepts introduced in the lectures. It is important that students have an opportunity to verify some of the ideas for themselves.

2. To familiarize students with experimental apparatus, the scientific method, and methods of data analysis so that they will have some idea of the inductive process by which the ideas were originated. To teach how to make careful experimental observations and how to think about and draw conclusions from such data.

3. To introduce the methods used for estimating and dealing with experimental uncertainties, including simple ideas in probability theory and the distinctions between random (statistical) and systematic "errors." This is essential in understanding what valid conclusions can be deduced from experimental data and that, properly obtained, these conclusions are valid, notwithstanding the uncertainty of the data.
