Answer:
I = 62.5%
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- the wild-type DND1 gene confers resistance to attain viruses. Strains are susceptible to viruses
- The EDS1 gene confers resistance to powdery mildew, a type of fungal infection
- The genes are linked, eight map units apart on chromosome
- A third gene, IR 1. imparts resistance to certain lepidopteran leafminers and is 10 map units from EDS1 and 18 map units from DNDI
- The observed double crossover rate is 0.3%
According to this information, we can picture the position of each gene in the chromosome
---DND1----------------------EDS1-----------------------------------IR1---
║---------- 8MU---------║------------------10MU-------------║
║------------------------------18MU------------------------------║
The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which one of every 100 meiotic products results in a recombinant product.
1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cM. The maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.
So, if we know the distances between genes, we know their recombination percentages.
- DND1-EDS1 = 8 MU = 8% recombination
- EDSI-IR1 = 10 MU = 10% recombination
To calculate interference, first, we need to know the coefficient of coincidence, CC.
CC= observed double recombinant frequency/expected double recombinant frequency
<em>Note: </em>
- observed double recombinant frequency=total number of observed double recombinant individuals/total number of individuals
- expected double recombinant frequency: recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.
CC= (0.003)/(0.08 x 0.1)
CC=0.003/0.008
CC=0.375
CC = 37.5%
The coefficient of interference, I, is complementary with CC.
I = 1 - CC
I = 1 - 0.375
I = 0.625
I = 62.5%
Explanation:
Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system, and a root system. The shoot system consists stems, leaves, and the reproductive parts of the plant (flowers and fruits). The shoot system generally grows above ground, where it absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.

The plant will still grow, false.

Mutations result from an error in DNA replication, should it be from an alien source (like radiation) or simply a mistake in replication. Migration of organisms to a new population would alter the DNA by adding new genes, but it would not mutate them.
