The energy of incident solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth declines toward the poles from its maximum in equatorial regions. One cause of this phenomenon is greater absorption of solar energy by the earth's atmosphere at high latitudes. Why is this?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Cold air absorbs more solar radiation than warm air
  2. The earth's atmosphere is thicker at higher latitudes
  3. Solar radiation travels a longer path through the earth's atmosphere at higher latitudes
  4. Smoke and other particulates accumulate at higher latitudes, making the atmosphere more absorptive

A three point test cross was carried out in Drosophila melanogaster involving three adjacent incomplete link genes A, B and C. arranged in the same order. The distance between A to B is 5 map units (mu) and that between B to C is 10 map. If pure line Drosophila AAbbCC crosses with aaBBcc to produce F1 offspring were allowed to cross with aabbcc result in following offspring genotype?

A

aabbCc

In the plant Arabidopsis, the loci for pod length (L, long; l, short) and fruit hairs (H, hairy; h, smooth) are linked 16 map units apart on the same chromosome. The following crosses were made:

(i) L H/L H X l h/l h = F1

(ii) L h/L h X l H/l H = F1

If the F1’s from (i) and (ii) are crossed, what proportion of the progeny are expected to l h/l h?
