Answers

Answer:

B. Black-eyed Susans and daisies used to be part of the same species. A random mutation in a subset of a population caused one group to release their pollen three weeks before the other, causing interbreeding to cease.

Explanation:

Temporal isolation, where temporal relates to time. So temporal isolation is the process where two populations will reproduce at different times/different seasons and therefore cause a split in species. In this case, we see the flowers release pollen at different times and caused a split into two distinct species.

Answer:

horizon C

Explanation:

The horizon C has the highest ratio of parent rock as compared to organic matter. This horizon starts after horizon B and present above the bed rock. This horizon consists of weathered and partially decomposed rocks. It is the actual layer of soil of that place whereas the other horizon A and B comes with the passage of time when the wind bring the soil particles and these particles deposits on this layer of the soil making horizon A and B.

The skin cells of an organism are analyzed and cells identified in G1 and have an average of 12 picograms of DNA. In the same organism a cell from gonadal tissues is identified and that single cell contains 6 picograms of DNA. Given this information, which of the following is true about the single gonadal tissue cell with 6pg of DNA?
1. The cell is at the beginning of Prophase I.
2. The cell has already completed meiosis.
3. The cell is not dividing (is in interphase).
4. The cell contains unduplicated chromosomes.

Answers

Answer:

El Rasho Macuin

Explanation:

The statement which is true about the single gonadal tissue cell with 6 picograms of DNA is that the cell has already completed meiosis. So, the correct option is B.

What do you mean by DNA?

It is a complex molecule that contains all the information necessary to build and maintain an organism. It stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. It is considered the genetic material in most organisms.

The skin cells in the G1 phase have an average of 12 picograms of DNA. As the amount of DNA in the G1 phase is 2C, hence 2C = 12 pg of DNA.

Now in the same organism, a cell from gonadal tissue is identified and that single cell contains 6 pg of DNA, which means, the amount of DNA is 6 pg that is C. Therefore, after the completion of meiosis, the cell contains half the amount of DNA as compared to the parent cell in G1.

So, Amount of DNA = C = 6 pg.

Therefore, the statement which is true about the single gonadal tissue cell with 6 picograms of DNA is that the cell has already completed meiosis.

The opening and closing of the heart valves is caused by Multiple Choice action potentials within the cusps of the valves. pressure changes of alternating contraction and relaxation during the cardiac cycle. contraction and relaxation of papillary muscles that pull on heart strings. contraction of the smooth muscle in the walls of the great vessels leaving the heart.

Answers

Answer:

pressure changes of alternating contraction and relaxation during the cardiac cycle.

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Generally, the cardiac cycle occurs in two (2) stages;

I. Diastole : in this stage, the ventricles is relaxed and would be filled with blood.

II. Systole: at this stage, the muscles contracts and thus, allow blood to be pushed through the atria.

Hence, the opening and closing of the heart valves is caused by pressure changes of alternating contraction and relaxation during the cardiac cycle.

In Drosophila, the genes for eye color, wing shape, and wing length are located on chromosome II. Purple eyes (pr), arc bent wings (a), and vestigial wings (vg) are the mutant forms of the wild type traits red eyes, straight wings, and long wings, respectively. You've discovered some data in your genetics laboratory which indicates that the distance between vg and pr is 12.5 m.u., the distance between a and pr is 44.7 m.u., and the distance between a and vg is 32.2 m.u. what is the chance of a double crossover between these three genes

Answers

Answer:

The expected double recombinant frequency = 0.0402 = 4.02%

Explanation:

Available data:

genes for eye color, wing shape, and wing length are located on the same chromosomePurple eyes (pr) is the mutant form of the wild type traits red eyes (pr+)Arc bent wings (a) is the mutant form of the straight wings (a+)Vestigial wings (vg) are the mutant forms of the long wings (vg+)the distance between vg and pr is 12.5 m.uthe distance between a and pr is 44.7 m.uthe distance between a and vg is 32.2 m.u

→ Two genes that are very close will have a few recombination events and are strongly bounded.

→ The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.

1) First, we need to know their order in the chromosome, and to do so, we need to compare the distances between them.

The most distant pair is a-pr

----a---------------------------------------------pr---

    ║-------------------44,7 MU-------------║

From  gene a to vg there are 32.2 MU

----a-----------------------------vg--------------pr---

    ║-------------------44,7 MU-------------║

    ║----------32.2 MU------║

Finally, de distance from vg to pr is 12.5 MU

----a-----------------------------vg--------------pr---

    ║-------------------44,7 MU---------------║

    ║----------32.2 MU------║--12.5 MU--║

We can name region I to the distance between a-vg, and region II to the distance between vg-pr.

2) To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cM. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

1 MU -----------1% of recombination

32.2 MU -----X =  32.2 % of recombination

12.5 MU-------X =  12.5 % of recombination

3) The expected double recombinant frequency = recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.

The expected d. recombinant frequency = 32.2%  x  12.5% = 0.322 x 0.125

The expected double recombinant frequency = 0.0402 = 4.02%

Problem 1
In dust bunnies, short ears are dominant to long ears. If a heterozygous female mates
with a long ear male, what are the chances their offspring will have short ears?

Answers

Answer:

50% or 1/2

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for ear length in dust bunnies. The allele for short ears (S) are dominant to the allele for long ears (s). This means an heterozygous individual (Ss) will possess short ears.

According to this question, If a heterozygous female (Ss) mates with a long ear male (ss), the parents will produce gametes as follows:

Ss - S and s

ss - s and s

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

Ss, Ss, ss, ss

- Ss (1/2 or 50%) offsprings will have short ears.

- ss (1/2 or 50%) offsprings will have long ears.
