Persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides persist in the environment and accumulate in the foods chain causing harmful effects on the environment including posing a threat to humans health in the long term. Nonpersistent organophosphate pesticides are more toxic than the former but degrade after a short life span. Therefore they cause immediate harm in case one is in contact with them.
The fact that they do not accumulate in the environment, they are more favourable than chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides. Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides will affect several generations due to their accumulation in the environment. However they don't need to be re-applied hence are less expensive

In a diploid species of plant, the genes for plant height and fruit shape are syntenic and separated by 18 m.u. Allele D produce
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

C)Parental: 41% Dr, 41% dR; recombinant: 9% DR, 9% dr.

Explanation:

The notation Dr/dR for genotypes means that one homologous chromosome has the alleles Dr and the other homologous chromosome has the alleles dR.

The heterozygous plant  Dr/dR will produce 4 types of gametes: two identical to the chromosmes the individual has in its somatic cells (called parental), and two gametes which will be a mix of the alleles in the homologous chromosomes (called recombinant).

  • Dr: parental
  • dR: parental
  • DR: recombinant
  • dr: recombinant

To calculate the frequency of each type of gamete, we must use the formula:

Distance (map units) / 100 = frequency of recombination.

18 mu / 100 = 0.18.

The total frequency of recombination between the genes D and R is 0.18, but every time crossing over happens, two recombinant gametes are generated. Therefore, each recombinant gamete will have a frequency of 0.18/2=0.09 = 9%.

The frequency of parental gametes will be:

1 - frequency of recombinant gametes

1 - 0.18 = 0.82

But there are 2 parental gametes, so each of them will have a frequency of 0.82/2=0.41 = 41%.

a surgeon is in operating room assisting on a lung transplant. he is working at the cellular level. true or false ?
Nat2105 [25]
The answer is false.

The group of similar cells working together to perform a specific job is called a tissue. The functional group of multiple tissues is called organ. Functionally related organs form organ systems, which all together form one organism.

So, surgeon is working at the organ level. The lungs are the organs of transpiration. Since they are organs, they consist of multiple tissues, which consist of many cells. But the surgeon does not work on one single cell, he works with the whole organ.
