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.

Explain by a series of statements or steps how a tree trunk gets wider.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

A tree will get wider by the secondary growth of the cells. This happens when the cell growth of the cambia or lateral meristems causes them to elongate and become primary tissue.

The site below gives a detailed description of secondary growth.

Why does it make metabolic sense for the same hormone signal to stimulate glycogenolysis and inhibit glycolysis in the liver whi

Debora [2.8K]

This is because if the two metabolic processes were to be active at at the same time;

Two molecules of ATPs and Guanosine triphophate (sometimes used for energy transport) will be expended per each cycle, with no compensatory rate of replacements present at the moment in the cell,this affects cell metabolism for energy availability

2 Both Glycolysis and Gluconeogensis are both exergonic processes in cells. The heat energy liberated from these Calorinogenic effects will be higher than what the natural thermodynamic barrier of cells can withstand. Consequently; the heat will raise temperature of the cells affecting metabolic activities of hormones and enzymes which are (proteins) ,and easily denature by high temperatures.

However, in muscles cells,gluconeogeneis is a compensasory process of Glycolysis. This because during active exercise with high metabolic demand in muscles cells, glucose is rapidly metabolise to to pyruvate,(but not at the rate that the Citric acid cycle can metabolise) for Lactic acid production by muscles cells for energy production. Pyruvate must be broken down rapidly so that NAD+ will be available for Glycolysis to continue. Therefore to sustain Glycolysis at this rate continuous supply of glucose is supplied from Gluconeogenesis.

The interaction between two polar molecules would involve ________.

denpristay [2]

The interaction between two polar molecules would involve HYDROGEN BONDS.
Polar molecules are molecules that have both positive and negative charges as a result of the differences in the electronegativity of the atoms that made up the molecule. Polar molecules interact through dipole dipole inter molecular forces and hydrogen bonds.

What is the major sink reservoirs for the nitrogen cycle?

Rudiy27

All of these components are reservoirs of carbon. The cycle is usually discussed as four main reservoirs of carbon interconnected by pathways of exchange. The reservoirs are the atmosphere, terrestrial biosphere (usually includes freshwater systems), oceans, and sediments (includes fossil fuels).
