The image shows a gene (gray rectangle) for glucose metabolism from Species x and Species Z. The light bands on the genes indicate where the DNA com........ tical. What is the best interpretation for these genes? Species Z A) The mutation rate for these genes is high and relatedness cannot be determined. B) These are orthologous genes, descended from an ancestor shared by Species x and Z. C) These genes carry out different functions within Species x and Z. D) These are analogous genes derived by convergent evolution of Species x and Z. IT Species X M Species Z

The following chart shows the crossover frequencies for some genes on an autosome of organism Z. Construct a chromosome map. For a series of experiments, a linkage group composed of genes W, X, Y, and Z was found to show the following gene combinations. (All recombinations are expressed per 100 fertilized eggs). Construct a gene map. For a series of breeding experiments, a linkage group composed of genes A, B, C, and D was found to show the following gene combinations. (All recombinations are expressed per 100 fertilized eggs). Construct a chromosome map.

This image shows DNA (gray) interacting with a computergenerated model of a TAL protein (multicolored), one of a family of proteins found only in a species of the bacterium Xanthomonas. The bacterium uses proteins like this one to find specific gene sequences in cells of the organisms it infects, such as tomatoes, rice, and citrus fruits. Given what you know about DNA structure and considering the image above, discuss how the TAL protein's structure suggests that it functions.
