A. Divide the total amount of grass eaten by all sheep in the valley by 20,000.
B. Determine the average daily grass consumption for 20 randomly selected sheep.
C. Choose a random value to use as the daily amount of grass eaten by one sheep.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Determine the average daily grass consumption for 20 randomly selected sheep".

Explanation:

One common approach to study a population with a very large number of individuals is to randomly select a sample and perform the study on it. This approach has the advantage that any individual could be selected, which makes more feasible that the sample is representative of the population. In this case, to know the average amount of grass eaten per day by an actual sheep to make a simulation of 20,000 sheep, it is feasible to determine the average daily grass consumption for 20 randomly selected sheep. The 20 sheep must be studied determining the average amount of grass eaten and the variability among the population.

What is one byproduct of slash-and-burn clearing of the rain forest that is harming the atmosphere?
morpeh [17]

It has been estimated that ‘slash and burn’ agriculture is used by up to 500 million people worldwide. The term describes the practice of cutting and/or burning of natural vegetation for conversion into agricultural fields. Besides the disastrous implications for forest ecosystems, the practice can impact the atmosphere in two main ways if burning is implemented. Firstly by causing air pollution from the smoke, and secondly by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas and a driver of climate change. Living trees also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, and the process of ‘slash and burn’ effectively removes their carbon capturing contributions to ameliorating climate change.

Which of the following statements is true about Tiktaalik?
yawa3891 [41]

Tiktaalik is a transitional fossil which shows how fish evolved into amphibians and reptiles. So the correct option is B.

What is Tiktaalik?

Tiktaalik is a direct ancestor of tetrapods or four-legged animals. It is an extinct fish-like animal and it lived on earth 380-385 million years ago (Devonian period).

The word Tiktaalik is derived from the <em>Inuktitut</em> language which loosely translates to large freshwater fish. This animal had characteristics of both fish and tetrapod and is therefore called the link between these two kinds of animals.

The characters resembling fish are gills and scales and the characters resembling tetrapods are rib bones, movable neck and lungs. There are characters that are a mix of both tetrapods and fish. These are bones and joints in limbs but fish-like fins instead of feet or hands.

1. What is a double helix?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

1. Double helix is the description of the structure of a DNA molecule. A DNA molecule consists of two strands that wind around each other like a twisted ladder. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating groups of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.

2. The DNA double helix. The two sides are the sugar-phosphate backbones, composed of alternating phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugars. The nitrogenous bases face the center of the double helix.

3. A nucleotide is an organic molecule that is the building block of DNA and RNA. ... A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

4. A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.

5. In genetics, the term junk DNA refers to regions of DNA that are non-coding. Some of this noncoding DNA is used to produce noncoding RNA components such as transfer RNA, regulatory RNA and ribosomal RNA

Hopes this helps.
