Two crosses were made in neurospora involving the mating type locus and either the ad or p genes. in both cases, the mating type locus (a or a) was one of the loci whose segregation was scored. one cross was ad a xad+ a (cross a), and the other was p a x p+ a (cross b). from cross a, 10 parental ditype, 9 nonpa-rental ditype, and 1 tetratype asci were seen. from cross b, the results were 24 parental ditype, 3 nonpa-rental ditype, and 27 tetratype asci. a. what are the linkage relationships between the mating type locus and the other two loci? b. although these two crosses were performed in neurospora, you cannot use the data given to calculate centromere-to- gene distances for any of these genes. why not?

Tara sees a commercial for a brand of pills that promise to boost energy and people perform better in work and school. as people in the commercial talk about how much better they feel when taking the pill, tara notices a message on the bottom of the screen that reads, "this pill is not approved by doctors and has not been tested in controlled experiments." what is the best conclusion that tara should make about the commercial? it is making scientific claims based on subjective observations. it is making scientific claims based on opinions instead of pseudoscientific facts. it is making pseudoscientific claims based on objective observations. it is making pseudoscientific claims based on opinions instead of scientific facts.

2. if someone had the list of traits you provided in question 1, do you think he or she would be able to find you in a group of 1000 people? why or why not? if not, what other information encoded in your genes might distinguish you from the others in the group? what are other traits that are encoded for by dna?
