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%

The circulatory and skeletal systems work together in the following way: skeletal system produces cells in the bone marrow while the circulatory system transports cells where they need to go (option A).

<h3>What is skeletal and circulatory system?</h3>

Skeletal system is the system that works as a support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals.

Circulatory system, on the other hand, are parts of an animal body comprising the heart, veins, capillaries and arteries. It circulates blood and lymph through the body.

According to the above description of both systems, the skeletal system produces blood cells in the bone marrow while the circulatory system transports these cells.

 Answer: It enables them to cover more of the visible light spectrum and therefore be able to harvest more light energy.

<span>Pigments can be defined as the molecule that absorb specific wavelength of light or they are substances produced by living organisms that obtain color from selective color absorption.  Thus, the function of pigment in plant is photosynthesis and they use green pigment chlorophyll with other pigments such as yellow and red pigment which are being used to captures much light energy as possible. However, plant gain from having much more than one pigment because it enables them </span>to cover more of the visible light spectrum and therefore be able to harvest more light energy.

NikAS [45]

<span>If it loses that 1 electron (0 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it become an ion that is positively charge because it has more protons than electrons. [Ignore the neutrons] </span>

<span>If it gains an electron (2 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it becomes an ion that is negatively charge because it has more electrons than protons </span>

<span>A molecule - when 2 or more "different" elements combine or when 2 or more of the "same" elements combine </span>

<span>1 proton 1 electron <----- that is considered to be neutral </span>

<span>3 protons, 3 electrons <----- neutral </span>

<span>5 protons 5 electrons <----- neutral </span>

<span>6 protons, 5 electrons <-- positive ion [more protons than electrons] </span>

<span>5 protons, 8 electrons <--- negative ion [more electrons than protons] </span>
