Answer:

“Mono” denotes one, “di” denotes two, and “poly” denotes a large number. 

What is the significance of these words in defining the 

three forms of sugars? 

These terms are used because they depict how the 

molecule appears. 

The molecule's base unit is called a "saccharide."

Answer:

a. bottleneck effect.

Explanation:

A bottleneck effect occurs when some adverse environmental conditions such as typhoons and famine reduce the population size considerably. The allele frequencies of the population are changed. As the population grows again, the gene pool has different allele frequencies than the original population. During population growth, some harmful alleles may become more abundant resulting in a rare disease such as achromatopsia. Therefore, the given population represents the bottleneck effect.

Why do calculated recombination frequencies between pairs of loci that are located far apart underestimate the true genetic dist
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B. As the distance between loci increases, some multiple crossovers go undetected such that the relationship between recombination frequency and map distance ceases to be linear.  

Explanation:

When calculating recombination frequencies, and hence, map distances, we might notice that these distances are not completely additive. They might vary. <em>For example, let us say that we have three genes, A, B, and C, in that order. </em>We calculated that the <em>distance between A and B equals 5.9</em> MU and that <em>B and C are 19.5 MU apart.</em> According to this, we might say that the <em>total distance between A and C is 25.4 MU (5.9 + 19.5). </em>However, after a<em> two-point calculation between A and C, the value equals 23.7 MU. </em>

The recombination frequency between these two genes located in the extremes and far apart underestimate the actual genetic distances between them because there might occur other crossing-overs that were not detected. This is <em>when calculating the distance between A and C, we probably will not detect the occurrence of a double recombinant between them, and hence, we might sub-estimate the real distance.</em>

The relationship between the actual map distance (number of crossing overs) and the recombination frequency between two loci, is not lineal. The farther apart are the two genes, the worse is the distance estimation.

The observation that members of a population are uniformly distributed suggests that A. resources are distributed unevenly. B. t
ANEK [815]

The observation that members of a population are uniformly distributed suggests that   the members of the population are competing for access to a resource.

Option B is correct.

What is a resource ?

A resource is any physical material constituting a part of Earth that people need and value. Natural materials become resources when humans value them. The uses and values of resources change from culture to culture and from time to time. Resources are spatially distributed varying in quantity and quality.

Why the resources are important?

Resources are necessary for citizenry because of the following reasons: Resources when used as a raw material satisfy the needs and comforts of human beings. Natural resources are a source of agricultural activities which adds to the economic importance. They also provide employment opportunities.
