In order to calculate the distance between two alleles/genes that are found in the same chromosome, we need to know how often crossing-over happened (recombination frequency). We know from the text that white eyes were linked to miniature wings and that wild type eyes were linked to wild type wings, so any phenotype that's contrary to these parent combinations are a result of crossing-over. We know then that 230 flies + 240 flies were a result of such recombination. To calculate the recombination frequency we only need to divide these flies (total of recombinant flies) by the total of flies in the offspring and turn it into percentage.

=0.47
0.47*100%=47%
47 map units is the distance between the genes <span>for eye color and wing length.</span>
Answer:
Through the study of meteorites, their chemical composition of silicates—material made of silicon and oxygen. Others contain metal—nickel and iron. Knowing what the meteorite was composed of lets you know where it came from. Chondrites are composed of hardened lava - this is occurred at the beginning of the solar system (4.5 mya). Carbonaceous chondrites contain carbon and water which formed away from the sun.
Explanation:
Answer: Correct options B, D and E.
Explanation:
In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)
Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.
We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.
So D is also true.
We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,
