Genes for body color (B black dominant to b yellow) and wing shape (C straight dominant to c curved) are located on the same chr

omosome in flies. If single mutants for each of these traits are crossed (i.e. a yellow fly crossed to a curved-wing fly), and their progeny is testcrossed, the following phenotypic ratios are observed among their progeny.
Black, straight 17
yellow, curved 12
black, curved 337
yellow, straight 364

Required:

Answer:

Map distance = Genetic distance, GD = 3.9 MU ≅ 4 MU

Explanation:

The more separated two genes are, the more chances of recombination there will be.  The closer they are, the fewer chances of recombination there will be. Two genes that are very close will have a few recombination events and are strongly bounded.    

To analyze the recombination frequency, we have to know that:

  • 1% of recombination = 1 map unit = 1centi Morgan = 1,000,000 base pairs.
  • And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.  

The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products one of them results in a recombinant one.  

Knowing that the genes are linked, we can calculate genetic distances between them. First, we need to identify the genotypes of the parental gametes with the ones of the recombinants. We can recognize the parental gametes in the descendants because their phenotypes are the most frequent, while the recombinants are the less frequent. So:

Parentals:

  • black, curved 337
  • yellow, straight 364

Recombinants:

  • Black, straight 17
  • yellow, curved 12

To calculate the recombination frequency we will make use of the next formula: P = Recombinant number / Total of individuals.

P = Recombinant number / Total of individuals.  

P = 17 + 12 / 337 + 364 + 17 + 12

P = 29 / 730

P = 0.039

The genetic distance (GD) will result from multiplying that recombination frequency (P) by 100 and expressing it in map units (MU).

GD = P x 100

GD = 0.039 x 100

GD = 3.9 MU ≅ 4 MU

The type of sensor the meteorologists should use is Radar sensor.

<h3>Who is a meteorologist?</h3>

A meteorologist is a scientist who studies and works in the field of meteorology with the purpose of understanding or predicting the Earth's atmospheric phenomena.

The tools used by meteorologists in studying atmospheric

phenomena or conditions include:

  • Thermometer for measuring air and sea surface temperature.
  • Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure.
  • Hygrometer for measuring humidity.
  • Anemometer for measuring wind speed.
  • Pyranometer for measuring solar radiation.
  • Rain gauge for measuring rainfall over a set period of time
  • Radar sensor for observing severe storms.

Therefore, the type of sensor the meteorologists should use is Radar sensor.

In conclusion, a meteorologist should use Radar sensors to detect and predict the atmospheric phenomena in stormy weather.

Explain how the Periodic Table of Elements is organized. What are the patterns? Trends?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements using this method. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order is usually according with the increasment (Is this a word?) of the atomic mass.

PLEASE HELP! ASAP! FIFTEEN POINTS!
oee [108]

Answer:

Anatomy supports the theory of evolution because some species share similar physical features that was present in a common ancestor.

An example of shared anatomy is sharks and dolphins. types of analogous structures, such as dolphins and sharks, do not prove species are related, but rather they support the Theory of Evolution by show how species do build up adaptations in order to fit into their environments

Molecular biology because DNA and the genetic code reflect the shared ancestry of life. DNA comparisons can show how related species are.

in recent research is has been shown that the myoglobin and hemoglobin sequences for dozens of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, worms, and molluscs were related.

Structural similarities is when different animals share the same structural similarities. For example the skeletons of turtles, horses, humans, birds, and bats are very similar, despite their t different ways of life and the diversity of their environments.
