There are three modes of heat conduction, these are conduction, convection and radiation. Heat transfer by conduction usually involves the movement of heat through solid substances. For instance, in the scenario given in this question, the warm surface is the solid substance through which heat is passed to the insects' bodies. Thus, conduction requires direct contact.

Heat transfer by convection method usually involves the movement of heat through liquids or gases while radiation can occur in vacuum.

Using what you know about the

Soloha48 [4]

The term mosaic is used in arts for an art piece that is composed of many small pieces of materials like stones or glasses. However, in biology it is used for a structure that is made up of different types of cells.

Now if we have to describe a biological mosaic structure , then there is no perfect option than the structure of a cell membrane of animals' cells. Cell membrane is not made up of two types of cell at all but it is a structure that is composed of a lipid bilayer in which proteins are floating as you can see in picture.

The structure was explained as mosaic by fluid mosaic model. If we take a deep look, the double layer of lipids are made up of phospho lipids, which contain two fatty acid tails and a lipid head. The heads are hydrophilic and are outside while tails are hydrophobic and they are inside. This structure has alot of importance as per the function of cell membrane because it maintains the cell's internal environment and separates it from outer environment. This is because

As cell is surrounded by an environment which contain water in excessive amount, therefore nature has made cell membrane in a way that hydrophobic tails do not face water and stay inside the double membrance while hydrophillic heads face the water region outside the cell as well as inside the cell (cytoplasm that contains alot of water content too).

Hope it helps!

Mendel’s law of independent assortment applies to genes that are on different homologous chromosomes. However, two of the traits

kodGreya [7K]

Answer: When genes found on different chromosomes, said to be not linked.

When genes seen close together on the same chromosomes said to be linked.

Explanation:

(a)

According to Mendel’s law of independent assortment, when genes located more than 50 map units and found on different chromosomes as far apart on the same chromosome so they divide independently and obviously said as not linked.

(b)

It is found that when genes located and seen tightly close together on the same chromosome, known to called as Linked which means that alleles or genes look close together on the same chromosome can be inherited afterwards as a unit frequently than not. For instance, when two genes are linked and become tightly close together by using data from genetic crosses lead to calculate recombination frequency as well.

Similarly, when we finding recombination frequencies for more than one gene pairs, can make linkage maps among them that finally show the relative distance between them.
