Why does crossing over occur more often between two distantly linked genes than between two closely linked genes on the same chromosome? why does crossing over occur more often between two distantly linked genes than between two closely linked genes on the same chromosome? crossing over frequency depends on long-range ordered hydrophobic forces. two genes that are far apart are more likely to have a crossover between them than two genes that are close together. crossing over frequency depends on the flexibility of a specific chromosomal region. two genes that are far apart are more likely to have a crossover between them than two genes that are close together. crossing over is somewhat randomly distributed over the length of the chromosome. two loci that are far apart are more likely to have a crossover between them than two loci that are close together.

Choose a mutation from those in model 2 that would be neutral for a cell. explain your reasoning by relating the mutation to the cellular respiration process.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
