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%.

Percent error is a statistical tool used for evaluating precision. It is expressed as:

Percent error = | (experimental value - theoretical value) / theoretical value | x 100%

Experimental value represents the calculated value while the theoretical value represents the known value. A percent error value which is approaching zero means that your experimental value is close to the known value. Which can possibly mean that you have precise measurements. Calculations are as follows:

Percent Error = | (2.54 - 2.70) / 2.70 | x 100 =5.93%

Thus, the answer is b. 5.93%.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

According to natural selection theory, organisms need to continuously adapt and evolve within an environment or risk being wiped away from that environment.

Organisms that are not able to adapt to an environment are gradually replaced by those that have the capability to adapt and survive in that environment.

Those that are able to survive go ahead to reproduce and give rise to offspring with inherent ability to survive while those that cannot survive die off.

The correct option is B.

T- tall allele
t- dwarf allele

This cross needs to be between 2 plants with the same genotype, like Tt xTt

In this cross it would result in:
 1/4 of the plants being tall homozygote- TT
2/4 of the plants being tall heterozygote- Tt
1/4 of the plants being dwarfs homozygote- tt
