The function to represent the number of cells present at the end of h hours if there are initially 4 of these cells is n= 4(2)ˣ

Given,

A particular type of cell doubles in number every hour.

So, to determine which function can be used to find the number of cells present at the end of h hours if there are initially 4 of these cells.

The number of cells denoted with n.

Therefore, the number of bacteria after every hour will form a geometric series.

<h3>What is Geometric Progression?</h3>

Geometric Progression or geometric Sum of G.P. is refer to as if each term is a multiple of the next term then this sequence.  

aₙ =arˣ

Where a is the first term which is 4.

And r is the common ratio r = 2.

Therefore,

The number of cells present at the end of h hours if there are initially 4 of these cells is,

n = arˣ

n = 4(2)ˣ

Hence, the function represents the number of cells present at the end of h hours if there are initially 4 of these cells is n = 4(2)ˣ.

Rashid [163]

1. A chromosome contains one long DNA molecule.

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a fundamental and essential macromolecule that is built from the chain of nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases (cytosine [C], guanine [G], adenine [A] or thymine [T]), a sugar called deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. DNA carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms. It is organized (packed) into structures-chromosomes and during cell division, these chromosomes are duplicated in the process of DNA replication. The process of replication provides each cell with its own complete set of chromosomes.

 

2. Each gene in this molecule gives the instructions for making a PROTEIN.

The genetic information in a genome is held within genes. Genes are a sequence of DNA that codes for a molecule that has a function, and usually, it is a protein. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA in a process called transcription. Then, synthesized RNA can be directly functional or be the template for a protein that performs a function. Synthesis of protein from RNA is a process called translation.

 

3. Both chromosomes in a pair of HOMOLOGOUS chromosomes have the same GENE, but the two chromosomes may have different ALLELES.

Homologous chromosomes are a set of one maternal and one paternal chromosome. Those chromosomes pair up with each other inside a cell during meiosis. Homologs have the same genes in the same loci but the alleles may be different, resulting in different phenotypes of the same genes. During the meiosis, the process of crossing over occurs when homologous chromosome pair exchange parts of DNA with one another.

 

4. Chromosomes that are not homologous have different GENE which gives the instructions for making different kinds of proteins.

Non-homologous chromosomes differently from homologous consist of alleles of different types of genes. Non-homologous chromosomes do not pair during meiosis and the shape of the chromosome, the length of the arms and the position of the centromere, is different among those chromosomes.

If the food on the island is small seeds, what finch is best adapted? Explain why
jeka57 [31]

Answer:Adaptation in Darwins Finches. Beak depth, which is correlated with body size and the ability to crack larger seeds, varies according to drought conditions: plants produce fewer, harder seeds in dry years and more, softer seeds in wet years. Only larger birds with deeper depths survive in drought years.
