What is not a characteristic of the cortical nephrons?

Biology
1 answer:
Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

Answer:

Their nephron loop is closely wrapped with vasa recta.

Explanation:

Cortical nephrons are located in the cortex.

They form 85% of all the nephrons in the kidney. They are located mostly within superficial cortex of kidney. The loop of henle of a cortical nephron is relatively short and hence not closely wrapped with vasa recta. Efferent arteriole delivers blood to a network of peritubular capillaries.

Two autosomal genes, J and K, are 60 map units apart. You perform the following testcross: J K / j k x j k / j k. At what freque
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  • J K / j k = 20%
  • j k / j k = 20%
  • J k / j k = 30%
  • j K / j k = 30%                

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

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

So, en the exposed example:

  • J and K are autosomal genes
  • J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
  • 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross)             J K / j k                    x                  j k / j k

Gametes) JK  Parental                                     jk, jk, jk, jk

                jk   Parental                                  

                Jk   Recombinant                          

                 jK   Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

                              30% Jk  +  30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

                            20% JK   +   20% jk

Punnet Square)           JK       jk      Jk      jK

                          jk     JK/jk   jk/jk   Jk/jk   jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%

Relate the development of plant needles to the occurrence of mutations.
xxMikexx [17]
<h2>Development of Plant Needles</h2>

Explanation:

  • Seed of pitch pine treated with colchicine delivered tetraploid seedlings which had thick and sporadic needles and less fortunate tallness and diameter growth than ordinary seedlings.  
  • In test of colchicine-initiated polyploidy in pines, researcher found that a significant number of the polyploid plants returned to a diploid development in light of the fact that the polyploid cells partitioned at a more slow rate and were overwhelmed by the more quickly developing diploid cells which encompassed them.  
  • The primary needles of both diploid and polyploid plants were more effective at low light intensity than secondary needles, and they had lower compensation points.
