#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

  1. They bind to other proteins or to the TATA box.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

We can construct a genetic map by considering the recombination frequencies for each pair of genes. The recombination frequency between a and b is 50%, a and c is 50%, and b and c is 20%. What will be the correct prediction about this statements;
a)  Recombination frequency between genes a and b and gene a and c is expected with independent assortment
b) The genes a and b and gene a and c may either be on different chromosomes or be very far apart on the same chromosome;  so we will place them in different linkage groups
c) The gene b and c are linked
d) The gene b and c are unlinked

Following are certain statements are related to the effect of red and far-red light;
a) under a dense canopy much of the red light is absorbed by plant pigments, resulting in transmittance of mostly far-red light
b) Pr (red) has highest photon flux at 680 nm while Pfr (far-red) has highest photon flux at 730nm
c) Pfr far-red light–absorbing form, which is considered to be the physiologically active form of phytochrome
d) R:FR ratio is strongly affected by the presence of a canopy because chlorophyll absorbs far-red but not red light
