A geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutat

ion quiver (qu) and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determine if the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings (vg). She crosses a fly homozygous for quiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits and then uses the resulting F1 females in a testcross. She obtains the following flies from this testcross.
vg+ sps+ 230
vg sps 224
vg sps+ 97
vg+ sps 99
total 650
1. Are the genes that cause vestigial wings and the spastic mutation linked?
2. Do a chi-square test of independence to determine whether the genes have assorted independently.
3. List the chi-square value, degree of freedom, P value, and whether you accept or reject the hypothesis of independent assortment.

Answer:

1. First calculate the distance of the map for trace (eg) and spastic mutation (sps); Recombinant frequency:

vg + sps + vg sps + = 99 + 97 = 196

we are going to divide 196 by 650 (total descendants) = 0.3.

in the next step we are going to calculate the recombinant frequency 0.3 * 100 = 30 mu or cM or 30%

this shows that there is an association between vestige (eg) and spastic mutation (sps) since the recombinant frequency is less than 50%.

The squareness test is not valid because the combining frequency is far from 50%.

2. Results:

1. Genes are linked.

3. The test rejected the independent assortment law because it is not true that there is a 1: 1: 1: 1 relationship between descendants

Which factors affect the rate of deposition? Check all that apply. color of the sediment density of the sediment size of the sed
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

density of the sediment

size of the sediment

velocity of the agent of erosion

Explanation:

Deposition can be defined as the process of building up of sediment from chemical processes because the forces which are responsible for transporting Sediment are no longer sufficient enough to overcome the forces of gravity which is why density of the sediment, size of the sediment as well as velocity of the agent of erosion tend to affect

The rate of deposition due to the fact that

Larger and denser particles are heavier and land first before, less dense particles which cause round pieces of sediment settle more quickly than flat pieces .

Hence,density of the sediment,size of the sediment as well as velocity of the agent of erosion will often affect the rate deposition.

2.) From where do lion cubs get their chromosomes? How does this happen to produce the pattern that you see?​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete.

However, lions have 38 chromosomes (19 pairs) and <u>there cubs get their chromosomes from there parents</u>; with each parent donating 19 each. They also have a pair of chromosomes known as sex chromosomes (X and Y). The female always donates the X chromosome and the male donates either a X (which leads to a female cub) or a Y (which leads to a male cub), just like in many mammals.

NOTE: Chromosomes are threadlike structures in the nucleus of a cell that carry/stores genetic materials/genes.

In a PCR reaction, a few seconds at high temperature disrupts the ____ that hold the two strands of DNA together, so every molec
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Hydrogen Bonds

Explanation:

In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the temperature rises to 90 ° C - 95 ° C, to break the hydrogen bonds, which are the types of bonds responsible for pairing the two strands of DNA, this process is known as denaturation of DNA.

The DNA is extremely stable, due to a large number of bonds (hydrogen bonds) that form between the two strands. If the temperature decreases, these bonds will begin to recompose, until the DNA returns to its original state

what function does the limb serve in each animal? how are the limb bones of the four animals similar? based on these similaritie
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The humans use this limb to grab things, body language, and sign language.

The dogs use this limb for all kinds of weight-bearing activities like walking, jumping, running et cetera.

Birds use this to fly and whales use it as flapper.

The limbs of all these four animals are the example of homologous organs that is, they all are similar in structure but adapted to perform different functions during the course of evolution.

For example, in all four organisms, the limb is made up of the same set of bones such as humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.

Homology in structure shows that they must have evolved from a common ancestor and diverge to perform different functions as an adaptation to the contrasting environment.
