Red fruits (t-) is dominant to tangerine fruits (tt), and smooth leaf (h-) is dominant to hair leaf (hh). suppose the recombination frequency between these genes is 16%. you take a pure-breeding plant with red fruits and smooth leaves and cross it with a pure-breeding plant with tangerine fruits and hairy leaves. you perform a test-cross with the f1 generation and produce 500 offspring. what is the approximate number of offspring for each possible phenotype?

210 Red fruits, smooth leaf

210 Tangerine fruits, hair leaf

40 Red fruits, hair leaf

40 Tangerine fruits, smooth leaf

Explanation:

1) Cross between pure-breeding plant with red fruits and smooth leaves with a pure-breeding plant with tangerine fruits and hairy leaves.

Pure breeding means that the individual is homozygous for all genes.

The genotypes of these plants, considering that the T/t and H/h genes are linked, can be written as:

TH/TH (same as TTHH) and th/th (same as tthh)

This cross will have a homogeneous F1 offspring: TH/th.

2) Test-cross of the F1

A test cross is a cross between any individual and a homozygous recessive individual.

The gametes produced by the parents are:

The frequency of recombination between these genes is 16%, so the total percentage of recombinant gametes produced by the F1 individual is 16%. Because there are 2 possible recombinant gametes, each of them will appear in 8% of the total produced gametes (to add up to the total of 16%).

The other possible gametes are parental, which will appear in 84% of the cases (total 100% minus the recombinant 16%). Because there are 2 possible parental gametes, each of them will appear in 42% of the cases.

The th gamete will be inherited by all of the individuals of the offspring, so the phenotypes of the offspring will be determined by which gamete they inherited from the F1 parent.

The phenotypes of the offspring will be:

the answer is: trichonympha lives in the gut of termites and digests cellulose eaten by the termite.

this is an example of a symbiotic association of a protozoan with its mode of association.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
