In a plant, leaf color and leaf shape are controlled by two linked genes Leaves of the wild-type plant are red. A recessive muta

tion in this gene causes white leaves. Wild-type leaves are pointed, and a recessive mutation in this gene causes them to be smooth. The following crosses were performed
Cross 1: pure breeding white, smooth X pure breeding red, pointed gives: all red, pointed
Cross 2: red, pointed F1 X pure breeding white, smooth (test cross gives: 40 white, smooth 36 red, pointed 10 white, pointed 14 red, smooth hape?
What is the recombination frequency between the gene for color and for shape?

Solution :

Red is dominant over the white leaves and pointed is dominant over smooth.

Red = R ,    white = r

Pointed = P ,   smooth = p

Red, pointed x white,smooth ------ Parents

RRPP                 rrpp

RP                      rp  ----------------- Gametes

         RrPp    -------- $F_1$

  (red, pointed)

When this $F_1$ is test crossed,

RrPp  x  rrpp     ----  $F_1$ test cross

Gametes   → rp

RP ---------- RrPp - red, pointed - 36 parental type

Rp ---------- Rprp - red, smooth - 14 re- combination

rP ----------- rrPp - white pointed - 10 re- combination

rp ----------- rrpp - white, smooth - 40 - parental type

                                    Total =   100

As this ratio is deviating from 1:1:1:1, it indicated the two genes are linked.

Linkage strength = percentage of crossing over = map distance between the genes.

Percentage crossing = recombination frequency = percentage of recombination.

Recombination frequency $=\frac{\text{total no. of recombination}}{\text{total no. of progeny}}\times 100$

                                         $=\frac{14+10}{100} \times 100$

                                         = 24 %

                                        = 24 map units

How the plate tectonics play a role in the creation of plutons?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The majority of granitic magmas are formed by melting near the base of the continents. The magmas slowly rise through the crust like great balloons. They solidify near the surface to form gigantic bodies of igneous rock called plutons, which are exposed later when uplift and erosion remove the overlying rock.

Which of the following is an inherited behavior?
Marina CMI [18]
Many of these options can be inherited based on the context. The only one i can see that is absolutely inherited is saying "please" and "thank you", because those are not built into a person. They are taught to a child so they can show respect when given something. The porcuipine using its quills when scared is the only instictive trait.

The model shows the process of binary fission.
slava [35]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.</em>

Explanation:

Genetic continuity can be described as a fact that the daughter cells have the same amount and same type of genome as the parent cell. It includes the transfer of parental traits to children.

Binary fission can be described as a process of division which bacteria divides. Two daughter cells are produced as a result of binary fission. Each daughter cell is identical to the parent cell and hence maintains genetic continuity.
