Concept explainers
a.
To determine: The frequency of recombinants (RF).
Introduction: A heterozygous is a trait when dissimilar kinds of two alleles combine to form a feature. In this type, dominant and recessive alleles are present in the pair, and the dominant will signify the type of trait the offspring will show.
b.
To determine: The uncorrected map distance, based on RF.
Introduction: A linkage map is a table for a species or investigational population that displays the position of its known genes or genetic markers comparative to each other in terms of recombination frequency, rather than a particular physical distance along each chromosome.
c.
To determine: The corrected map distance, based on tetrad frequencies.
Introduction: Genetic distance is a extent of the genetic deviation between species or between populations within a species, whether the length measures the time from a common ancestor or degree of variation.
d.
To determine: The corrected map distance, based on the mapping function
Introduction: Genetic maps are constructed by recombination frequencies since both odd and even numbers of crossovers can take place between any two gene loci, as the physical distance between two loci rises, the maximum recombination frequency levels off at 50%.

Talk about what atoms are. what they're made of, why chemical bonding is important to DNA?arrow_forwardWhat are the structure and properties of atoms and chemical bonds (especially how they relate to DNA and proteins).arrow_forward
- The Sentinel Cell: Nature’s Answer to Cancer?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forward
- Molecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell.
