Assume you are performing a cross between a plant that is heterozygous for the dominant traits red flowers and wrinkled seeds, with a plant that is homozygous for the recessive traits white flowers and smooth seeds. assume the alleles are r for red flowers, r for white flowers, w for wrinkled seeds, and w for smooth seeds. the offspring of this cross show the following phenotypes:
43 red flowers and wrinkled seeds
7 red flowers and smooth seeds
9 white flowers and wrinkled seeds
41 white flowers and smooth seeds

what are the traits of the recombinant offspring in terms of flower color and seed shape? explain how you know that these offspring are recombinant. what alleles would you expect to see in the individual chromosomes of each parent before and after crossing-over takes place? what is the recombination frequency? what is the distance between the genes in map units?

hint: to calculate the recombination frequency, or the percentage of recombinants in the population, use this equation: total number of recombinant offspring / total number offspring = recombinant frequency. then use that number to calculate the distance in map units between the genes. use this equation: distance = recombination frequency x 100.

The phylogenetic tree illustrates the relationship between humans and our closest living relatives. the tree was based on biochemical comparisons, including dna and amino acid sequences. according to the biomolecular data, we could infer that a) the four organisms do not have a common ancestor. b) humans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes. c) chimps are more closely related to gorillas than they are to humans. eliminate d) there is no evidence if any relationship between the four branches on the tree.

Students in biology are studying the macromolecules of life. they used a calorimeter to determine the calories in various types of food. once the lab was completed, the students ate the left over food samples. monica commented that in just 6 or 7 "chews" of the saltine, it was gone; nothing but a sticky paste in her mouth. elaborate on what happened chemically while chewing the saltine. include the macromolecules present.

An ecologist studied the same species of deer during the summer and the winter. she noticed that during the summer, when there was plenty of food, the deer were energetic and playful. however, during winter when food was scarce, the deer moved more slowly and did not run unless they needed to escape a predator. which scientific fact is best supported by her observations?
