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!

The correct option to this question will be 'C' i.e., Gorilla Gorilla.

As the number of Differences of the amino acids representing for the beta-haemoglobin is less than other 5 species from humans, so we can say that Gorilla is closely related on the basis of molecular data given in the question. The beta Haemoglobin Gene is responsible for coding a protein which is called beta-globin. Each cell present in humans contains two genes of beta-globin.

Tetrahydrofolate is important for the activity of which enzyme?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

GAR and AICAR transformylase

Explanation:

Tetrahydrofolate is essential for purine and pyrimidine synthesis, its deficiency can lead to inhibition of nucleic acid such as DNA and RNA and protein synthesis, which are important for the growth and survival of both normal cells and cancer cells. N-10-formyltetrahydrofolate acts as a donor of  carbon atoms to the actively growing bases. It contribution is mediated by the action of the Glycinamide Ribonucleotide (GAR) transformylase and the N-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) transformylase.

Connell's famous barnacle experiment was initiated to learn more about ________.
bulgar [2K]
Connell's famous barnacle experiment was initiated to learn more about competitive exclusion and distribution of branacle species. Barnacle species are distributed in distinct zones on the rocky shores of the Atlantic coast. The Chthamalus in upper intertidal zone; is a smaller species and the semibalanus in low intertidal zone which is a larger species. Chthamalus found in the higher physical stress and higher temperatures because the low tide levels causes them to be exposed to the extreme outside environment for longer periods of time than the semibalanus. Additionally barnacles can only feed while submerged and the higher up shore a barnacle is, the less it can feed and grow. The experiment wanted to understand why they lived this way.
