Small aquatic organisms are usually temperature conformers because they have high ratio of surface are to volume and therefore they can readily lose heat. In other words they have large surface area compared to volume so they tend to lose heat readily when it is cold outside.

Doss [256]

Answer:

The reason why Dr Naskrecki thinks he suspects there are so many more than the 2,829 species they have already identified living in the park is because there are many species that has been identified in the world because humans haven’t gotten to most parts of the earth which makes it a lot undiscoverable.

Another one is that the species multiply rapidly and easily.

A maize plant with genotype Aa Bb produces the following gametes 100 Ab 45 AB 106 aB 50 ab This tells us that the two genes are

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The linkage relation of two genes can be determined on the basis of calculating recombination frequency.

If the recombination frequency value is greater than 50% then the genes are not linked and if the value is less than 50% then the genes are linked.

In the given question, the crossover gametes formed will be Ab = 100

and aB= 106.

Therefore,

$\dfrac{recombinant\ progenies}{ Total\ progeny}\times 100\\\\\dfrac{100 +106}{100+106+45+50}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{206}{301}\times 100\\\\= 68.43\%$

Since the recombinant frequency value is larger than 50% therefore the genes do not show linkage.

Thus, True is the correct answer.
