Mendel carried out his research on garden peas. You should remember that he used seven pairs of traits. Modern geneticists have

mapped the genes for Mendel's pairs of traits. Two of them are on chromosome 1, yet when Mendel carried out a dihybrid cross using these genes, his results led him to the conclusion that they assorted independently. This makes sense if:A. the two genes on chromosome 1 are more than 50 mu apart.B. the two genes on chromosome 1 are very close together.C. the two genes on chromosome 1 are at least 20 mu apart.D. the two genes on chromosome 1 never recombine.

Answer:

A. the two genes on chromosome 1 are more than 50 mu apart.

Explanation:

Two or more genes present on the same chromosomes are the linked genes. Linked genes do not assort independently and do not exhibit crossing over. Therefore, the linkage of genes results in deviations from Mendel's law of independent assortment. However, if the linked genes are present far from each other on the same chromosome, they may exhibit crossing over.

The greater the distance between the linked genes, the higher are the chances of crossing over. Crossing over of linked genes would result in some of the progeny to have the new gene combinations as it occurs during an independent assortment of two genes. Therefore, Mendel observed an independent assortment of two genes present together on chromosome 1 since they were present far apart from each other (more than 50 mu apart).

An area where soil has eroded experiences what?
Natali [406]

An area where soil has eroded experience loss of nutrients. The topmost layer of soil is called the topsoil and is the most fertile. Soil erosion results in the loss of soil fertility and makes the land barren

The main cause of soil erosion is the removal of vegetation, which exposes the topsoil to water and wind. Wind and water are the main agents of soil erosion.

Water erosion can be sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion or riparian erosion.

Which statement describes the relationship between the lizard and the frog on the food web?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: A.) Heterotrophs compete for the same food source.  

A food chain is a linear sequence in which food and energy is being transfered when one organism is fed the another organism in an ecosystem. A food web is a interconnection of two or more food chains. Heterotrophs are  organisms which are dependent upon other organisms for the food requirement. In the given condition, the lizard and frogs are the heterotrophs which are dependent upon insects for their food requirement.

<em>Hence, heterotrophs compete for the same food source is the correct statement to describe the relationship between the lizard and the frog on the food web. </em>

19. Which graph best shows how enzyme activity changes as the temperature is adjusted above and below the enzyme’s optimum tempe
aniked [119]
The graph would be the 4th picture, a bell-shaped graph.

The optimum temperature should have the highest rate of enzyme activity. When the temperature is increased or decreased, the enzyme activity would be decreased. The graph that follows both conditions should have a bell shape graph.
