In maize (corn), assume that the genes A and B are linked and 30 map units apart. If a plant of Ab/aB is selfed, what proportion of the progeny would be expected to be of ab/ab genotype?A)2.25% B)15% C)9%D)30%E)4.5%

2.25%.

Explanation:

The recombination progeny occur due to the crossing over of the homologous chromosomes. The linked gene is 30 map units apart and the recombination frequency is 30.

If a plant of Ab/aB is selfed then the progeny obtained is as follows: Ab – parental – 35%, aB – parental – 35%, AB – recombinant – 15%  and ab – recombinant – 15%. The cross between the F2 progeny with aabb is ( 0.15 × 0.15) = 0.0225 or 2.25%.

Thus, the answer is option (A).

a motor homunculus represents a map of brain areas dedicated to motor processing for different anatomical divisions of the body.

homunculus represents the importance of various parts of your body as seen by your brain. as a result, they take up a lot of brain space. although the cortical homunculus is a curiosity, penfield's work in mapping the brain's relationship to the body was invaluable.

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
