Crossing over is often reduced around centromeric regions of chromosomes. If you were trying to construct a genetic map of two linked marker loci in this region, what result might you obtain?
A. The recombination frequencies would be high, and you would deduce that the markers were very far from one another.
B. The recombination frequencies would be low, and you would deduce that the markers were very far from one another.
C. The recombination frequencies would be high, and you would deduce that the markers were very close to one another.
D. The recombination frequencies would be too low to detect, and you would not be able to estimate the distance between genetic markers.
E. The recombination frequencies would be low, and you would deduce that the markers were very close to one another.
Ans: E. The recombination frequencies would be low, and you would deduce that the markers were very close to one another.

Why can an infection in the brain's ventricles usually be detected in spinal fluid obtained from the lower back (lumbar region)?
A. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) originates in the ventricles, but percolates over and around the brain and spinal cord. B. There is a high degree of vascularity that exists, allowing easy transfer of bacteria in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the blood. C. There is a set of lymph nodes specifically in place to drain the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles. They are housed in the lumbar region of the spinal column, adjacent to the spinal cord. D. This is an incorrect statement. Since the central nervous system (CNS) is a protected site due to the blood-brain barrier, there can never BE an infection in the ventricles.
