Answer:

10%

Explanation:

The distance between the given two loci is 20 mu. This means that the recombination frequency between these two loci is 20% and the heterozygote will form 20% recombinant gametes and rest 80% parental type gametes. Therefore, the heterozygous woman AB/ab will form a total of 20% recombinant gametes. The proportion of each recombinant gamete will be 20/2= 10%.

Gametes formed by the woman= 10% Ab, 10% aB, 40% AB, and 40% ab

Gametes formed by the man= All ab (since the man is homozygous for both loci).

Therefore, proportion of Ab/ab genotype= 10% Ab (female gamete) x ab (male gamete)= 10% Ab/ab

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Well to give a good example of "ecosystem increases its biodiversity​" we must first define

biodiversity

"the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem."

SO an example would be like bringing a frog from china to a pond in amercia,but this frog is new and there arent any frogs from the speicus

The medial cord is medial to the axillary artery and is formed by the ______ division of the inferior trunk; it contains portion
SpyIntel [72]

The medial cord is formed by the anterior division of the inferior trunk.

It contains portions of nerves C8-T1.

             The medial cord is present in our neck and is a part of the brachial plexus. It is formed by the anterior division of the lower trunk. It is called the medial because it is medial to the axillary artery.

              The medial cord leads to the formation of the medial pectoral nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of the arm, and medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm.

               The nerves labeled as C refer to the nerves affecting the motor system in our neck and upper limb. Thus nerves from C8 work for the motor conventions of our upper limb and neck.

              The nerves labeled as T are spread over our chest, shoulders, and hands. Thus, the nerve T1 works in the upper part of our body.

For plants living in a dry areas, explain a possible conflict between the need to obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and t
ahrayia [7]

Plants living in dry areas face conflict.

EXPLANATION:

  • Since they live in dry areas they will undergo more transpiration.

  • If they open stomata during the day there will be excessive loss of water vapor that will result in their death.

  • Therefore plants living in this area open the stomata during the night to obtain Carbon dioxide.

  • This checks the loss of water through transpiration and provides the carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
