If Darwin knew of Mendel’s work, how might it have influenced his theory of evolution? Do you think this would have affected how

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Darwin proposed his theory of evolution on the premise of natural selection. According to him, organisms which possess favourable characteristics which enable them to survive in their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.

According to Mendel, the unit of inheritance passed on from parents to offspring are genes. Hence Darwin's factors are Mendel's genes.

If Darwin knew of Mendel's work. It might have influenced his presentation of the idea of passing on favourable characteristics from parents to offspring in the light of genetics.

This would have made Darwin's work to have more empirical backing hence making it more widely accepted.

Answer:

Mechanical isolation

Explanation:

mechanical isolation is a form of prezygotic reproductive barrier, whereby similar species organisms become isolated and unable to successfully interbreed with each other to form zygote, as a result of incompatibility of their reproductive organ or structure, which prevents them from copulating. As a result of this, both species become separated as there is no gene flow between both.

The two species of juniper can be said to be kept separate by <em>mechanical isolation</em>, due to the differences and incompatibility of their reproductive structure.

If brine shrimp eggs were transported on shorebirds feet from a hyper saline lake into a less salty one
blagie [28]
<span> If the Brine Shrimp eggs were transported from a hyper saline lake from a less salty like, they would most likely go into their dormant state and become cyst-like since they are adapted to the salinity levels of their previous environment. In turn, they would not be able to hatch, and then later on, reproduce, in order to expand their population and continue their species. </span>

Can someone explain eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells like you’re talking to a 5 year old?
Fed [463]

Eukaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. The nucleus is where DNA, your genetic material, is usually stored. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. The DNA just floats around the cell instead of staying in one designated area.

Assume that two genes are 80 map units apart on chromosome II of Drosophila and that a cross is made between a doubly heterozygo
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The recombination frequency between two genes exhibits a positive correlation with the distance between them, that is, farther they are, and more will be the chance of recombination. Thus, recombination frequency is used to signify distance among the two genes, for example, 1 percent recombination frequency demonstrates distance of 1 map unit.  

Let us consider that the heterozygous female of genotype AaBb can generate four kinds of gametes, that is, AB, Ab, aB and ab. Of these, the two gametes are the outcomes of recombination, or it can be said that 50 percent are recombinants. Thus, it can be concluded that in case of two linked genes, the maximum probable recombination frequency is 50 percent.  

This shows that any genes, which are distant than 50 map units will function as unlinked and will function as if they were on distinct chromosomes, and the frequency of recombinant frequency will be 50 percent.  

In the given question, it is given that the map distance between the two genes is 80 map units, that is, more than 50 map units. The maximum probable recombinant offspring will be 50 percent of the entire offspring.
