Answer:

<h2>Recombination rate or recombination frequency between locus A and locus C is either 2% or 50%. </h2>

Explanation:

As given,

Recombination frequency between locus A and B is 35%, means that the distance between A and B is 35 cM.

Recombination frequency between locus B and C is 33% , means the distance between B and C is 33 cM.

Therefore, if the locus C is present between A and B, then the recombination frequency between A and C would be 2%

A-----C ----------B

A---C= 2%

A----B= 35%

B---C= 33%

So, here the recombination frequency between A and C is 2%, means their distance is 2 cM.

If the locus C is as,   A---35---B--33----C ;   A-----B------C

A-----B= 35%

B------C= 33%

A-----C= 33+35= 68%

As rule, maximum frequency can not exceed 50%, as here the Recombination frequency between A and C = 50%.

If all the macromolecules are made mainly of the elements CHO, how are they different?
Elanso [62]
The four main classes of organic compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) that are essential to the proper functioning of all living things are known as polymers or macromolecules. All of these compounds are built primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios. This gives each compound different properties. Carbohydrates are used by the body for energy and structural support in cell walls of plants and exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans. They are made of smaller subunits called nionosaccharides. Monosaccharides have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Monosaccharides or simple sugars include glucose, galactose, and fructose. Although their chemical formulas are the same, they have different structural formulas. These simple sugars combine to make disaccharides (double sugars like sucrose) and polysaccharides (long chains like cellulose, chitin, and glycogen). Color code the glucose molecule on this worksheet (carbon-black, hydrogenyellow, and oxygen-red). Use your textbook to help draw the structural formulas for fructose and galactose:

Mirror neurons are believed by some scientists to provide a biological basis for:
AlexFokin [52]
<span>A mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another. Thus, the neuron "mirrors" the behavior of the other, as though the observer were itself acting. Such neurons have been directly observed in primate species.</span>
