When molecules of a solvent pass through a semi-permeable membrane from a low concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution.
Yanka [14]3 years ago
4 0

answer:

Passage of a solvent (such as water) from a lower-concentration solution to a higher-concentration solution

explanation:

Passage of a solvent (such as water) from a lower-concentration solution to a higher-concentration solution, by a semi-permeable layer (that enables the solvent to pass but not what is diffused in it) departing the two extracts. The flow of solvent ends when both solutions become even in concentration. In nature, osmosis is a primary source by means of which nutrients are carried to the cells.

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%.
