Answer:

2% of the progeny will be double crossovers for the trihybrid test cross

Explanation:  

By knowing the positions of genes, we can estimate the distances in MU between them per region.

  • Genes A and B are 10 map units apart (Region I)
  • Genes B and C are 20 map units apart (Region II)
  • Genes A and C are 30 map units apart

----A-------10MU--------B-------------20MU-------------C---

             Region I                      Region II  

We can estimate the recombination frequencies by dividing each distance by 100.

• recombination frequency of A-B region = 10MU / 100 = 0.10

• recombination frequency of B-C region = 20MU / 100 = 0.20

Now that we know the recombination frequencies in each region, we can calculate the expected double recombinant frequency, EDRF, like this:

EDRF = recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.

EDRF = 0.10 x 0.20 = 0.02        

2% of the progeny will be double crossovers for the trihybrid test cross

Which of the following statements about genes and traits is true?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

-A single gene can influence multiple traits.

-A single trait can be controlled by multiple genes.

Explanation:

1. A single gene influences two or more phenotypic traits known as a pleiotropic gene.  Pleiotropy is common in the genetics of complex disease.

Example: Phenylketonuria

It is an inherited disorder in which the level of phenylalanine is increased in the human body. This is happening because of the defect in a single gene on chromosome 12 that codes for phenylalanine hydroxylase (enzyme). This enzyme affects multiple system e.g.,  nervous and integumentary systems.

2. A polygenic trait is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene. Polygenic traits are also controlled by environmental factors.

Example: Height, Skin color

These traits show continuous distribution because they are also controlled by many different genes. Epigenetics and environmental factors are also involves.

Mandalian (inherited) traits are controlled by different genes.

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide increased from 278 ppm in 1790 to 383 ppm in 2007. What is the approximate perce
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

<em> A. 38%</em>

Explanation:

Percentage increase in carbon dioxide concentration = (Increase in concentration of carbon dioxide/initial concentration)×100

P = (C₂-C₁/C₁)×100...................... Equation 1

Where P = percentage increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide from 1970 to 2007, C₁ = The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide in 1970, C₂ = The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide in 2007.

<em>Given: C₁ = 278 ppm, C₂ = 383 ppm.</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

<em>P = [(383-278)/278]×100</em>

<em> P = (105/278)×100</em>

<em>P = 37.7%</em>

<em>P ≈ 38%</em>

<em>Thus the approximate percentage increase in carbon dioxide concentration from 1790 to 2007 is 38%</em>

<em>The right option is A. 38%</em>
