Hi there!

<u>Linkage</u> is the term applied when two genes fail to assort independently.

<h3> <u>RESULT</u> ?</h3>

☆ The result is that <em>the parental traits will be maintained</em>.

☆ Also, the linked genes sit close together on a chromosome, making them likely to be inherited together (left).

<h3> <u>IMPORTANCE</u></h3>

When the chromosomal location for a disease phenotype has been established, then the genetic <em>linkage </em><em>s</em><em>c</em><em>r</em><em>u</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>helps determine whether the disease phenotype is only caused by mutation</em> in a single gene or mutations in other genes, giving rise to an identical or similar phenotype.

Hope that helps!

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Mendel was a mathematician and a physicist. He was tutored by Christian Doppler known for his work "Doppler effect of wave frequency".

Mendel learned botany under Franz Unger.

Both knowledge of science and math helped him notice some patterns, traits and qualities in the gardens he had.

With that idea, he was able to see the chances or portability of developing such traits and how to prove it.

Which choice best describes the parts of the water cycle? The sun's thermal energy causes water on the earth to evaporate. The w
Travka [436]

Answer:

The sun's thermal energy causes water on the earth to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses and forms precipitation. The precipitation then falls back to the surface of the earth.

Explanation:

<u>The water cycle is an illustration of how water continuously moves or circulates between the atmosphere and the various parts of the earth. </u>

<em>Evaporation of water from the surface of the earth by the thermal energy from the sun causes water to leave the surface of the earth into the atmosphere. When the atmospheric water vapor (humidity) at the upper strata of the atmosphere becomes high, the vapor condenses to form clouds which later forms precipitation that falls back to the surface of the earth.</em>

The ocean's tidal energy does not cause water to cycle on earth.
