Answer:
Following words will be filled in the blanks in the sequence -
- Red bone marrow
- Progenitor Cell
- Myeloid Progenitor
- Lymphoid Progenitor
- Glycoproteins
Explanation:
Hemopoiesis is the process of formation of blood cells in bone marrow. It occurs in Red bone marrow of bones. All the blood cells and immune cells arise form a type of cell called hemopoitic stem cell. It is a multipotent cell. during hemopoiesis the stem cell differentiates along one of the two pathways - lymphoid progenitor or myeloid progenitor.
Women have two x chromosomes, compared to men who have one x and one y chromosome. Because of the two x chromosomes, one of them can override the other. In men they only have one x and one y, they don't have the extra x chromosome to override the allele.
Answer:
a. Ed/eD
b. RF=0.12
Explanation:
The alleles for genes D/d and E/e are:
- D_: only on neck spikes
- dd: along back spikes
- E_: long spikes
- ee: short spikes
After testcrossing a double heterozygote (DdEe x ddee) there are 4 types of offspring, two of them much more abundant than the other two. The homozygous recessive parent can only produce <em>ed</em> gametes, so the phenotypes of the offspring depend on the gametes that the double heterozygous parent produced.
The offspring was:
- Ed/ed 79
- ed/ed 12
- ED/ed 10
- eD/ed 76
Total: 177
a) This result suggests that the genes are linked. Since recombination is a rare event, the most abundant phenotypes always come from the parental gametes, and the least abundant come from the recombinant gametes.
<u>Therefore, the genotype of the doube heterozygote parent was </u><u><em>Ed/eD</em></u><u>.</u>
b) Recombination frequency (RF) = Recombinants / Total
RF = (12+10)/177
<u>RF = 0.12</u>
The correct answers are A and C.
When an individual is reproducing asexually, it means that there is no fusing of two parent cells and meiosis, but that the offspring is produced out of the cells of one parent. This means that the organism is not '' losing time'' by trying to find a suitable mate, which enables the populations to grow at a rapid rate.
However, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent, which means that there is very little genetic variation in the population which can lead to accumulation of harmful mutations and unresponsiveness to changes in the environment.
