Answer and Explanation:

  • A homozygous groucho fly ( gro, bristles clumped above the eyes) is crossed with a homozygous rough fly (ro, eye abnormality).
  • The F1 females are testcrossed, producing these offspring: groucho 518 rough 471 groucho, rough 6 wild-type 5 1000 a) What is the linkage distance between the two genes? B) Plot the genes on a map c) If the genes were unlinked and the F1 females were mated with the F1 males, what would be the offspring in the F2 generation?

1st cross:

Parental) grogro ro+ro+ x  gro+gro+ roro

F1) gro+gro ro+ro

2nd cross:

Parental)  gro+gro ro+ro   x  grogro roro

Gametes) gro+ro+                       gro ro

                gro+ro                         gro ro

                gro ro+                        gro ro

                gro ro                          gro ro

Punnet square)  

                   gro+ro+             gro+ro              gro ro+            gro ro  

gro ro    gro+gro ro+ro   gro+gro roro    grogro ro+ro    grogro roro

gro ro    gro+gro ro+ro   gro+gro roro    grogro ro+ro    grogro roro

gro ro    gro+gro ro+ro   gro+gro roro    grogro ro+ro    grogro roro

gro ro    gro+gro ro+ro   gro+gro roro    grogro ro+ro    grogro roro

F2)

0.518 grogro ro+ro (518 individuals)

0.471 gro+gro roro (471 individuals)

0.006 grogro roro (6 individuals)

0.005 gro+gro ro+ro (5 individuals)

Total number of individuals 1000

<u><em>Note</em></u>: These frequencies were calculated dividing the number of individuals belonging to each genotype by the total number of individuals in the F2.

To know if two genes are linked, we must observe the progeny distribution. <em>If individuals, whos </em><em>genes assort independently,</em><em> are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal </em><em>phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1</em>. <em>If</em> we observe a <em>different distribution</em>, that is that <em>phenotypes appear in different proportions</em>, we can assume that<em> genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent</em>.  

In the exposed example we might verify which are the recombinant gametes produced by the F1 di-hybrid, and we can recognize them by looking at the phenotypes with lower frequencies in the progeny.  

By performing this cross we know that the phenotypes with lower frequencies in the progeny are groucho, rough and wild-type. So the recombinant gametes are <em>gro+ro+</em> and <em>gro ro</em>, while the parental gametes are <em>gro+ro</em> and <em>gro ro+.</em>

So, the genotype, in linked gene format, of the double heterozygote individual in the <u>F1</u> is gro+ro/gro ro+.

To calculate the recombination frequency we will make use of the next formula: P = Recombinant number / Total of individuals. The genetic distance will result from multiplying that frequency by 100 and expressing it in map units (MU). One centiMorgan (cM) equals one map unit (MU).

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which one of every 100 meiotic products results in a recombinant product.

The recombination frequency is:

P = Recombinant number / Total of individuals

P = 6 + 5 / 1000

P = 11 / 1000

P = 0.011

The <u>genetic distance between genes,</u> is 0.011 x 100= 1.1 MU.

<u>Genetic Linkage Map:</u>

Parental Phenotypes)  

-----gro+------ro----              -----gro------ro+----

----- gro ------ro----               ---- gro------ ro ----

Recombinant phenotypes)

-----gro+------ro+----              -----gro------ro----

----- gro ------ ro----                -----gro------ro----

<u>If the genes were unlinked</u> and the F1 females were mated with the F1 males, the offspring in the F2 generation would have been

4/16 = 1/4 gro+gro ro+ro  

4/16 = 1/4 gro+gro roro  

4/16 = 1/4 grogro ro+ro    

4/16 = 1/4 grogro roro

Their phenotypic frequencies would be 1:1:1:1 related.

Answer:

Grass - grasshopper- man - bacteria.

Grass - rabbit- man - maggot.

Grass - cow - man - bacteria.

Explanation:

In these food chains, grass is the producer that provides food to primary consumer or herbivores such as grasshopper, cow and rabbit. These primary consumers are the food of secondary consumer such as human while when human die, it become the food of worms and decomposers such as maggot, bacteria etc. the nutrients releases by decomposers are used by producers for the production of food for themselves.

Which process in eukaryotic cells will proceed normally whether oxygen (o2) is present or absent?
VLD [36.1K]
The correct answer is glycolysis. 

Glycolysis is an anaerobic process of splitting a molecule of glucose (6 carbons) to 2 molecules of pyruvate (3 carbons each). Glycolysis does not require the presence of oxygen and will still produce energy, albeit lower than aerobic metabolism. In the absence of oxygen, fermentation can occur wherein pyruvate is further converted into lactate.

Use the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate your calorie needs. Show your calculations to explain how you arrived at your answe
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The Harris Benedict Equation is a formula that determines the total daily energy expenditure (calories) using BMR with some activity factors.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is defined as the amount of calories one would burn without doing anything for 24 hours. It uses variables of weight, age, height and gender to calculate BMR.

<em>BMR calculation =  447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.098 x height in cm) - (4.330 x age in years)</em>

<em>In</em><em> </em><em>Harris Benedict Equation, </em><u><em>BMR</em></u><em> is </em><u><em>multiplied</em></u><em> by </em><u><em>activity factor </em></u><em>to determine calories need.</em>

The activity factors in Harris Benedict Equation are:

for no exercise =  1.2

exercise for 1 to 3 days/week or light exercise =  1.375

exercise for 3-5 days/week or moderate exercise  = 1.55

exercise for 6-7 days a week or hard exercise = 1.725

exercise for 2 times training = 1.9

<u>So, calculation for my calorie needs is as following:</u>

BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x 50 kg) + (3.098 x 164.592 cm) - (4.330 x 23 in years) = 974.945

Calorie needs = BMR x 1.55

                        = 974.945 x 1.55

                        = 1511.16 calories
