Elongated and Five are two genes in a housefly that are 24 centimorgans (map units) apart. The E allele of Elongated produces el

ongated wings, and the e allele produces small wings (E is dominant). The F allele of Five produces five stripes on the back of the fly, and the f allele produces four stripes (F is dominant). In a cross of EfeF to efef, what percentage of the offspring should have elongated wings and five stripes?

Answer:

12%

Explanation:

The genes E/e and F/f are 24 cM apart.

  • E_: elongated wings
  • ee: small wings
  • F_: five stripes
  • ff: four stripes

A distance of 24 cM means that the frequency of recombination between the two genes is 24%.

The cross Ef/eF x ef/ef would produce the following offspring:

  • Ef/ef: Parental; elongated wings and four stripes
  • eF/ef: Parental; small wings and five stripes
  • EF/ef: Recombinant; elongated wings and five stripes
  • ef/ef: Recombinant; small wings and four stripes

The total percentage of recombinant gametes is 24%, and there are two possible recombinant gametes, so each of them appears in 12% of the cases.

The individuals with elongated wings and five stripes have the recombinant genotype EF/ef, therefore the percentage of the offspring with this phenotype is 12%.

How do global systems interact to affect ecosystems?
miskamm [114]

is a functional unit that results from interactions of abiotic, biotic, and anthropogenic components and are a combination of interacting, interrelating parts that form a unitary whole.  Ecosystems vary in size.  They can be as small as a puddle, or as large as the earth itself.  Basically, any living and non-living things interacting together can be considered an ecosystem.  Within each ecosystem, there are habitats that vary in size.  A habitat is a place where a population lives.  A population is a group of living organisms of the same kind living in the same place at the same time.  Natural ecosystems are made up of abiotic factors such as air, water, rocks, and energy and biotic factors such as plants, animals, and microorganisms.

A student is developing a model to show how proteins are synthesized in animal cells. Which organelles should the student includ
Montano1993 [528]

He must include A. Ribosomes, B. Endoplasmic reticulum and C. Golgi apparatus organelles in the model.

The ribosomes are organelles that are responsible for protein translation and are composed of rRNA and proteins. The rough endoplasmic recticulum synthesizes the protiens and the Golgi apparatus collects and dispatches protein products received from the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic recticulum are transported into vesicles, which then fuse with the Golgi apparatus and further transported to their destination.
