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

Experts in deer ecology generally agree that population sizes of deer that live in temperate climates are limited by winter snow. The deer congregate in ?yarding? areas under evergreen trees because venturing out to feed in winter is energetically too expensive when snowfall depths accumulate to above 40 cm. Deer often stay yarded until the spring thaw. Snow depth over 40 inches for more than 60 days results in high mortality due to starvation.  This observation best illustrates which of the following principles about factors that limit distribution of organisms?
