<span>Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.</span>
Answer:
7 % progeny will show wild type phenotype
Explanation:
Parent 1: Normal wings and small eyes : DDee
Parent 2 : Downward wings and normal eyes : ddEE
DDee X ddEE = DdEe ( All have normal wings and normal eyes )
When a F1 individual is test crossed:
DdEe X ddee =
De/de = Parental
dE/de = Parental
DE/de = Recombinant
de/de = Recombinant
Recombination frequency between the two genes is 14% hence DE/de and de/de will each have 7% frequency. Since DE/de ( DdEe ) will give wild type phenotype, it means that 7% progeny will have wild type phenotype.
Answer:
Mendel's law of independent assortment
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel is a really important figure in genetics, his work on pea plants provided us with many of the fundamentals of genetics that we still have today!
Mendel proposed 3 laws:
1. The law of dominance - this law states that where there are two different alleles (heterozygous) the organism will always express the dominant trait over the recessive trait
2. The law of segregation - this law states that offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, because allele pairs separate in the process of meiosis, such that each gamete contains 1 allele of each trait. When the zygote is formed, it contains an allele from each parent.
3. The law of independent assortment - this law states that traits are independent from one another at the time of gamete formation. The genes are segregated separately from one another, as the presence of one does not impact the presence of another.
This example shows that all combinations of the height and color allele are possible, and therefore nicely demonstrates the law of independent assortment
Outdoor air pollution is a complex mixture of several pollutants, the common sources of outdoor pollution are emissions caused by combustion processes from motor vehicles, solid fuel burning and industry.
They major classes of outdoor pollutants include;
Carbon monoxide; carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, VOC's, SPM's, photochemical oxidants, ozone and PANs.
