Every species exhibits variations based on various genes being activated at various times. An example with humans can be eye color or hair color. What species means is that all members of a species can procreate with healthy, capable of procreating progeny, but anything else is just a variation.
The substances that protect against oxidative stress and the resultant tissue damage at the cellular level is, option B. Antioxidants. Oxidation can cause imbalance in the body. Antioxidants are used to counteract the damage produced by free radicals. Good natural sources of antioxidants include fruits and vegetables.
Answer:
linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci
Explanation:
If two genes are not linked, number of recombinants and parental offspring will be equal. Here it is clearly visible that recombinants are less than parental offspring hence the genes are linked. Given, the offspring are in following numbers:
AaBb = 106 = Parental
aabb = 94 = Parental
Aabb = 48 = Recombinant
aaBb = 52 = Recombinant
Recombination frequency = (Number of recombinants/ Total progeny) * 100 = (100/300) * 100 = 33.33 %
1% recombination frequency= 1 map unit of distance between the two gene loci. So here the distance between the two gene loci is approximately 33 map units.
Hence, these results are consistent with linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci
Option C
This is an example of acquired mutation in which there is genetic transformation due to external factors such a change of temperature, pollution, radiation etc.
