Genes A and B are located 10cM from each other on a chromosome. Gene C is located 25cM from gene A and 15cM from gene B. Assuming that I = 0, what is the probability that the trihybrid ABC/abc will produce an ABC gamete?

I get that ABC is a result of a double crossover. A similar question was answered and said that

Probability of SCO - DCO = 0.25 - 0.015 = 0.235

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU GET .25 and .015. Please do not say that it's SCO and DCO actually please explain Did they get that SCO is .25 because that's A to C, and did they say .015 because that's distance from C to B and B to A? Please I am very confused. Thanks.

A) Six different mutations were derived from base pair substitutions at a single codon. In this codon, the mutant alleles had asparagine, glutamic acid, g;lutamine, methionine, arginine, and a stop codon. What was the wild-type codon?

Assume that you are employed as a developmental biologist at NASA and the first returning mars explorer was found to have a small organism from mars onboard. The organism had the usual head-tail axis as well as dorsal-ventral polarity and what appeared to have right-left asymmetry. However upon analysis it was found to be composed of silicon based compounds and had no DNA, RNA or proteins at all. Discuss reasons why this organism would have similar developmental controls to those of earth’s carbon-based life and also discuss the opposing view as to why it would not. YOU MUST PROVIDE AS MICH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT.

1.Summarize the structure and function of both the digestive system and the excretory system. How do each of these two organ systems participate in ensuring that the body has enough energy and nutrient molecules? How does each system participate in osmoregulation? How does system each participate in eliminating waste?

Experiment 2: Transcription and Translation 1. Use a pen or pencil to write a five word sentence using no more than eight different letters in the space below. 2. Now, use the red, blue, green, and yellow beads to form “codons” (three beads) for each letter in your sentence. Then, create codons to represent the “start, “space” and stop” regions within your sentence. Write the sentence using the beads in the space below: 3. How many beads did you use? 4. Assign one Pop-It® bead to represent each codon. You do not need to assign a Pop-It® bead for the start, stop and space regions. These will be your amino acids. 5. Connect the Pop-It® beads to build the chain of amino acids that code for your sentence (leave out the start, stop, and space regions). 6. How many different amino acids did you use? 7. How many total amino acids did you use?

Influential genes and proteins in dairy cattle:

Genetic methods have been used to examine regions of the dairy cattle genome that appear to have been under selection. A positive signature of selection in a given region implies the genes contained therein are potentially important for aspects of milk production such as yield.

Two such genes found to be of importance in dairy cattle are DGAT1 (which encodes the fat biosynthesis enzyme diacylglycerol o-acyltransferase 1) and GHR (which encodes the growth hormone receptor).

44. Why might these two genes be important for milk production?
