Genetics: Linkage

Very Easy

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Very Easy of Biology

In an experiment with Drosophila melanogaster, a researcher observed that the gray-bodied fly (gene A) and short wings (gene B) were frequently inherited together, while the black-bodied fly and long wings were also commonly observed together. After crosses and analyses, the researcher concluded that genes A and B demonstrate a pattern of linkage and that the recombination frequency between them is 10%. What is the definition of linkage and how can the recombination frequency between genes A and B be used to determine the genetic distance between them in centimorgan map units (cM)?

During puberty, significant changes occur in the human body due to the activation of the reproductive system. This process is controlled by hormones, which act on the sexual organs and also on other body systems. Explain how the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, both located in the brain, interact to control puberty. In addition, discuss the role of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the development and maintenance of reproductive structures, and how these hormones can be targets for regulation in infertility treatments. Finally, mention and briefly explain a medical condition that may arise due to alterations in the functioning of the reproductive system during puberty.

Plants are eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms that have cells with cellulose cell walls. The basic structure of plants includes roots, stems, and leaves, which perform specialized functions such as water and nutrient absorption, support, and photosynthesis. Differentiate plants from other biological kingdoms, highlighting a unique characteristic of plants that distinguishes them from others. Additionally, mention two main subgroups of the Plant Kingdom and a distinctive characteristic of each.
