Explanation:Raymond Dasmann was the first person who used the term Biological diversity in 1968. He was a wildlife scientist and conservationist. But this term gain attraction in the scientific community in the 1980s.

So during 1980s the scientific community and activists were concerned about the extinction of biodiversity so this topic gain attraction as a research subject among the scientific community.

The issue of biodiversity was first published in 1987 in journal Conservation Biology which soon popularized the concept of biodiversity and became the main journal for publication of scientific research on biodiversity.

A maize plant with genotype Aa Bb produces the following gametes 100 Ab 45 AB 106 aB 50 ab This tells us that the two genes are

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The linkage relation of two genes can be determined on the basis of calculating recombination frequency.

If the recombination frequency value is greater than 50% then the genes are not linked and if the value is less than 50% then the genes are linked.

In the given question, the crossover gametes formed will be Ab = 100

and aB= 106.

Therefore,

$\dfrac{recombinant\ progenies}{ Total\ progeny}\times 100\\\\\dfrac{100 +106}{100+106+45+50}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{206}{301}\times 100\\\\= 68.43\%$

Since the recombinant frequency value is larger than 50% therefore the genes do not show linkage.

Thus, True is the correct answer.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

b, d, f, a, e, c

Explanation:

Ca+ binds to troponin -> Troponin removes tropomyosin from G actin -> Myosin binds to actin -> Myosin generates a power stroke -> the sarcomere shortens -> ATP recharges the myosin head
