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!

Describe the process by which coral polyps and algae create a coral reef.
xenn [34]
Coral reefs are built by coral polyps as they secrete layers of calcium carbonate beneath their bodies.  And inside each coral poly lives single-celled algae called zooxanthellae. So basically in simplistic terms, coral polys create coral reefs and algae is in coral polys which also goes into coral reefs when they are made.

The oil immersion objective is necessary to determine the morphology of prokaryotes
VLD [36.1K]
To clearly view the morphology of the prokaryotes, one needs a microscope with higher resolution i.e magnification of ×100. Use of oil for this purpose is important because it  reduces the refraction of light as it travels from air to glass. this process increases the resolution of the microscope making it possible to view morphology of bacteria.

What does it mean to be sustainable?
lord [1]

Answer:

To be sustainable is to be able to maintained at a certain rate. It's to keep things continuous and viable. For example, wind energy is sustainable compared to oil because wind is easier to get than oil. Another example is if a country only has about 10-13 crimes a year for 20 years, crime is sustainable in that country.

Red rose color is produced by either of two genes, R/r and I/i. The dominant alleles of both these genes produce red pigment, an
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

3:1

Explanation:

To find out the phenotypic ratio, we need to do a Punnet Square.

We know that R and I are the dominant alleles that produce red flowers, and r and i are the recessive traits.

<u>  ║R ║ r</u>

<u>I ║RI║Ir</u>

<u>i ║Ri║ir</u>

The genotype ratio would be 3 because the dominant traits are present three times (RI, Ir, and Ri) and 1 for the recessive trait since it only appears once in the Punnet Square (ir). In conclusion, the phenotypic ratio form the roses are 3:1
