The genes kn-1 (produces leaves with small "knots") and d3 (causes dwarfed stature) are 40 map units apart on chromosome 1 of corn. the distance between these two loci was determined using a corn line with no known inversions on chromosome 1. a paracentric inversion of 20 map units lies between (but not containing) kn-1 and d3 in popcorn lines. if the distance between the two loci was mapped using a heterozygote with one normal chromosome 1 and one paracentric inversion chromosome 1, what is the apparent distance between the two loci?

b - the respond is innate and varies over time.

good luck!

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
