26-residue peptide composed of alanine and leucine shows a circular dichroism (CD) spectrum characteristic of α-helix at 50°C in 5 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. When the peptide solution is cooled gradually to 25°C, and the CD spectra are recorded at different temperatures, the most likely observation will be that

What is the difference between a linkage map and a physical map?

a) Genetic maps are based on recombination frequencies, but physical maps are based on restriction digestion.

b) Physical DNA map describes the absolute position of genes on a chromosome while genetic map so variable

c) Genetic maps are important to identify the origin of diseases, whether they are inherited or arise due to a random mutation.

In tomatoes, tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d) and smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p), which is covered with fine hairs. A farmer has two tall andsmooth tomato plants, which we will call plant A and plant B. The farmer crosses plants A and B with the same dwarf and pubescent plant and obtains the following numbers of progeny

a. The genotypes of both plant A and plant B are DdPp

b. In plant A, Gene D and Gene P link as cis configuration

c. In plant B, Gene D and Gene P link as cis configuration

d. In plant A, Gene D and Gene P link as trans configuration

e. In plant B, Gene D and Gene P link as trans configuration

plantlike organism on the planet Pandora can have three recessive genetic traits: bluish leaves, due to an allele (a) of gene A; a feathered stem, due to an allele (b) of gene B; and hollow roots due to an allele (c) of gene C. The three genes are linked and recombine. A geneticist performed a testcross with an organism that had been found to be heterozygous for the three recessive traits, and she was able to identify progeny of the following phenotypic distribution (+ = wild type):

 A) Genes are in the order: a-c-b

B) Genes are in the order: a-b-c.

C) Genes are in the order: b-a-c

D) Interference is one

E) Greatest distance between gene a and b
