Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.

Marrrta [24]

Answer: Speciation

Speciation is biological process in which new species are formed from the existing species. This occurs when the members of the population gets separated from others by a geographical, behavioral or other barriers. Such separated organism develop traits with the course of evolution, which makes them reproductively isolated with the parent population. The speciation can be of two types:

1. Allopatric speciation: The separated population evolve into separate species due to a geographical isolation.

2. Sympatric speciation: The separated population evolve into separate species without any geographical isolation.

You just read an article on the Endosymbiotic Theory. Based on what you read, what is the importance of the Endosymbiotic Theory
Fantom [35]
The endosymbiotic theory which is also sometimes referred to as symbiogenesis states that all the organelles of the eukaryotic cells are prokaryotic cells that tends to live in a much larger host. This theory is important because it does explains how the eukaryotic cells are able to obtain the needed nourishment that is believed to be replenished by the prokaryotic cells.
