Answer:

  • J K / j k = 20%
  • j k / j k = 20%
  • J k / j k = 30%
  • j K / j k = 30%                

Explanation:

To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cm. 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.

So, en the exposed example:

  • J and K are autosomal genes
  • J and K are separated by 60 M.U.
  • 60 M.U. means that there is 60% of recombination.

Cross)             J K / j k                    x                  j k / j k

Gametes) JK  Parental                                     jk, jk, jk, jk

                jk   Parental                                  

                Jk   Recombinant                          

                 jK   Recombinant

One map unit equals 1% of recombination frequency. This means that every 100 meiotic products, one of them is a recombinant one.

1 M.U. -------------- 1% recombination

60 M.U. ------------ 60% recombination

                              30% Jk  +  30% jK

100 M.U. - 60 M.U. = 40 M.U.

40M.U.--------------40 % Parental (Not recombinant)

                            20% JK   +   20% jk

Punnet Square)           JK       jk      Jk      jK

                          jk     JK/jk   jk/jk   Jk/jk   jK/jk

J K / j k = 20%

j k / j k = 20%

J k / j k = 30%

j K / j k = 30%

How many kinds of gametes will be expected from an individual with the genotype ppccttrr?
ElenaW [278]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>16 kinds of gametes can be expected from an individual with the genotype ppccttrr. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Gametes are the haploid mature germ cells which can be both male and female.</em> They have the ability to unite to opposite sex in the reproduction phase to form a zygote.

<em>The example of gamete is the sperm that is ready to fertilize the egg during reproduction. </em>so there will be 16 types of reproductive cell with single <em>set of unpaired chromosomes with the genotype ppccttrr.</em>

Why did bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Due to the presence of limited number of species.

Explanation:

Bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains because this island has many animals species which interact with each other or depend on one another due to the presence of less animals for feeding purpose. This island is isolated from the rest of the world so it provide a great opportunity to study the entire food chains that are present at that island. There is less number of species so knowing about their feeding choices is easier for the ecologists.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: B. reforestation

Reforestation is the process of growing plants and trees in an area on large scale in order to create land a forest reserve which can allow the growth and abundance of floral and faunal species in future. Reforestation is the biodiversity restoration method that the biologist should use to meet their goals like : recreation of habitats for wildlife in a particular area, help against climate change as plants are the fixers of atmospheric carbon utilize this for photosynthesis and prevents the raising of atmospheric temperature.
