Answer:

  • Double Crossing-over prob = 0.3%
  • Simple Crossing-Over prob A-B = 9.7%
  • Simple Crossing-Over prob B-C = 2.7%
  • Total Crossing-Over prob = 12.7%

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:  

  • order of the genes on a plant chromosome is A, B, C
  • A and B are located 10 cM apart
  • B and C are located 3 cM apart

The genetic distance = recombination frequency x 100 expressed in map units (MU). One centiMorgan (cM) equals one map unit (MU).

We can use the provided map with the distances between genes to predict the occurrence of any kind of recombinant gamete.  

We know that there is a probability of a simple crossing over to occur between genes A and B, or between genes B and C. And we also know that there is a probability of double crossing-over occurrence.

We can get the probability of the double-crossing over by multiplying the recombination frequencies between A-B and B-C. So,

DCO prob = recombination frequency A-B x recombination frequency B-C

                 = 0.1  x  0.03 = 0.003 = 0.3%

DCO prob = 0.3%

According to this, we would expect to find

  • 0.15% AbC
  • 0.15% aBc

Now we need to know what are the probabilities of getting a simple crossing-over, SCO. We already have the genetic distances between genes. 10 cM equals 0.1 of recombination frequency, and 3cM equals 0.03 of recombination frequency. However, we can not estimate the probabilities of simple crossing over using only this information, because this data is including the probabilities of the double crossing-over occurrence. So we need to substrate this percentage.    

SCO prob A-B = 0.1 - 0.003 = 0.097 = 9.7%

SCO prob A-B = 9.7%

we would expect to find

  • 4.85% Abc
  • 4.85% aBC

SCO prob B-C = 0.03 - 0.003 = 0.027 = 2.7%

SCO prob B-C = 2.7%

we would expect to find

  • 1.35% ABc
  • 1.35% abC

The total Crossing-over probability, TCO, is then the sum of all the crossing over probabilities,

TCO= SCO A-B + SCO B-C + DCO

TCO prob = 9.7% + 2.7% + 0.3%

TCO = 12.7%

Which statement describes functions of anti bodies
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Antibodies have three main functions: 1) Antibodies are secreted into the blood and mucosa, where they bind to and inactivate foreign substances such as pathogens and toxins (neutralization). 2) Antibodies activate the complement system to destroy bacterial cells by lysis (punching holes in the cell wall).

Why does acid rain adamage mountain lebrty
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.

Explanation:

You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.
