  1. As it turns out, studying banthas is too dangerous for you, and you decide to turn your attention to a much less hostile organism, the Ewoks. You begin another project. You find that you have to count hundreds of ewoks. You are committed to the new project, but you secretly wonder if you shouldn’t have stuck with banthas.

You are studying two genes known to be linked, fur color and height.

  • If two genes are linked, where are they located in relation to one another in the genome?
  • Do two genes showing linked inheritance have to show a related function? Why or why not?
  • After you perform your cross, you get the following result:

725 Brown fur, short ewoks

255      Tan fur, tall ewoks

12        Brown fur, tall ewoks

8          Tan fur, short ewoks

What is the recombination frequency between wing shape and body color? Show your work.

ANSWER:-

a) If two gense are linked, they will be located on same chromosome. Less is distance between two gense more will be linkage inheritance and vice versa.

b) If two gense are linkage does not necessary to show related functions. Because location has nothing to do with its function. Function lies in its coded sequence.

4. Hyperkalemia is a dangerous condition that occurs when your blood has too much potassium. It can be caused by taking medications for hypertension. Based on what you know about potassium’s role in the body, explain specifically why high blood potassium is dangerous (2 pts). What hormone is released due to high blood potassium (1 pts)? How is this condition linked to hypertension medications such as ACE inhibitors (2 pts), angiotensin 2 antagonists (2 pts), and renin inhibitors(2 pts)? 1...

1.Getting sunburned is dangerous as well as painful. Too much exposure to high energy electromagnetic (EM) radiation can lead to cellular DNA damage causing an increased risk for cancer. You know that DNA damage occurs if the energy of the incident, EM radiation, is above a certain threshold. What would you predict is worse based on your knowledge of quantum theory - a weak beam of ultraviolet light, or an intense beam of infrared light? Explain your reasoning. 2. The...

Two players, 1 and 2, take turns choosing numbers; 1 goes first. On his turn, a player may choose any number between 1 and 10, inclusive, and this number is added to a running total. When the running total of both players’ choices reaches 100, the game ends. The player whose choice of number takes the total to exactly 100 is the winner. (i) Who wins the game when we solve it using backwards induction? (ii) Provide a (not necessarily...

A double-slit is illuminated with monochromatic light in the air and it turns out that the first order minima occur at angles ∓35.09 ° relative to the reference line from the double slit to central max. If the double slit is lowered into a transparent liquid and illuminated with the same light, the first order minima occur at the angles ± 19.36 °. Decide the refractive index of the liquid?
