Two genes on chromosome 7 of corn are identified by the recessive alleles gl (glossy), which determines glossy leaves, and ra (r

amosa), which determines branching of ears. When a plant heterozygous for each of these alleles was crossed with a homozygous recessive plant, the progeny consisted of the following genotypes:
Gl ra 88 gl Ra 103
Gl Ra 6 gl ra 3
a. What is the frequency of recombination between these genes?

Answer:

recombination frequency = 4.5% or 4.5mu

Explanation:

to calculate the frequency of recombination between these genes

we have,

recombination frequency = [ number of recombinnants/total number of offsprings) x 100

total offspring  = 88 + 103 + 6 + 3

total offspring =  200

Gl ra 88............................ parent

gl Ra 103.........................parent

Gl Ra 6..................................... recombinant

gl ra 3................................................ recombinant

recombination frequency = {6+3/88 + 103 + 6 + 3} x 100

recombination frequency = 9/200 x1oo

recombination frequency = 0.045 x 100

recombination frequency = 4.5% or 4.5mu

Commercial printing uses an area of patterned dots called a ________. the dots vary in size depending on the level of color need
I am Lyosha [343]

Correct answer: Halftone

The halftone is a reprographic technique, which uses continuous imaginary tone by the use of dots, which vary in size or in spacing.

Example: The shades of gray in print are produced by breaking the image of the object into tiny dots that appear to blend into a continuous tone when viewed with a naked eye. Such a pattern of tiny dots is called a halftone.

The answer to the given question above would be the second option. Based on the given scenario above, the reason why the new rodent with the nearby rodents and gets viable but infertile offspring is that the <span>new rodents probably derive from fairly recent ancestors that experienced dispersive allopatric speciation.

What are the sequence of steps that includes the image on the retina
jonny [76]

Answer: Light goes into the eye via the cornea, it then pass through the pupil, the lens, the vitreous humor and finally forms an image on the retina.

Explanation:

Light goes into the eye via the cornea. The cornea is a clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye.

From the cornea, the light passes through the pupil. The pupil regulates the amount of light passing through.

From the pupil, , light hits the lens. The lens is the clear structure inside the eye. It focuses light rays onto the retina.

Subsequently, light passes through the vitreous humor. A clear, jelly-like substance that fills the center of the eye. It helps to keep the eye round in shape.

Finally, the light reaches the retina where the image is formed the image is usually inverted. The retina is a light-sensitive nerve layer that is situated at the back of the eye.

The main function of the optic nerve is to carry the signals to the visual cortex of the brain. The visual cortex turns the signals into images.

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about enzymes?
ioda
The answer is B. The higher the concentration of substrate, the FASTER a reaction happens (since there are more opportunities for molecules to collide in a way that favours the reaction), so B is an incorrect statement.

The other three options describe correct features of catalysts and/or enzymes (which are considered “biological catalysts”).
