What kind of data could be used to map the relative position of three genes on a chromosome?

The data that could be used to map the relative position of three genes on a chromosome are crossover frequencies in genetic crosses. By comparing the frequency of recombination events between the genes, you can infer their relative distances on the chromosome. Closer genes will have fewer crossovers, while genes further apart will have more crossovers.


What kind of growth involves roots and shoots but not reproductive structers and occurs in most plants?

Vegetative growth involves the development of roots and shoots but not reproductive structures. This type of growth is common in most plants as it focuses on increasing the size and structure of the plant for support, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis rather than reproduction.


What kind of growth occurs when leaves and flowers grow to a set size?

Determinant growth occurs when leaves and flowers grow to a set size. In this type of growth, once a certain size or shape is reached, growth stops even if conditions are favorable. This is in contrast to indeterminate growth, where growth continues throughout the organism's life.


What kind of change is taking place if white mold growing on a strawberry?

The white mold growing on the strawberry indicates a biotic change as it is caused by a living organism (fungus) that is breaking down and decomposing the strawberry. This can impact the shelf life and quality of the strawberry.


What is true of macro-evolution?

It is true that speciation occurs. Since macro-evolution is defined as evolution at and above the species level, this makes the statement that macro-evolution occurs an independently verifiable fact.It is also true that in biology we find nested hierarchies at every level - both at the range of observation from the molecular to the morphological, and at the range of groups from the single species to life-kind in general. This is precisely what we would expect if common descent were true not just within the genus, but for all known life.Furthermore, it is true that we find morphological intermediates in the fossil record: forms that are intermediate morphologically between basal clades in the nested hierarchies of life and clades derived from those basal clades. A basal clade is a group of organisms linked by shared features; a derived clade is a group within that larger group that shares all those features, but is also linked by a distinct set of features present only within that smaller group. An example of this is the basal clade of Apes, and the derived clade of Great Apes, between which exists, for instance the transitional form Pierolapithecus catalaunicus. This, again, is exactly what we would expect to find if macro-evolution were not just true for minor taxa (eg. within a genus), but for all taxa, throughout time.There are many statements about macro-evolution that have been verified through observation. The complete list of possible truths about macro-evolution is too large to detail in a single answer.
