The Inland Rules specifies that red buoys must be passed on the
starboard side upon going upstream. The red buoys will mark the right side (starboard
side) at inbound direction. It should be placed on the left side (port side) of the channel when going outbound.
Answer:
Darwin's research on Galapagos Island put forward his theory of natural selection.
Explanation:
1. Charles Darwin studied the similarities of the finches between the various islands of Galapagos. His study noted that the finches were similar from island to island making him to wonder about the origin of this species as these perfectly adapted to their environment. His compilation of observation about the finches, the fastest evolving vertebrates, described its behavior and appearances which changed according to the changing environment., thus making them to adapt quickly. These were further converted for his book 'The Origin of Species' that changed the concept of evolution.
2. Grants research on Galapagos Islands were conducted by Peter Raymond Grant and Barbara Rosemary Grant, both evolutionary biologists. Their work focussed on the Darwin's finches through processing of collecting blood samples and tagging them. They were able to indicate that changes within the species is evident within a single lifetime. Their study indicted that changes in populations takes place quickly and need not wait for long time as indicated in Darwin's theory.
3. The Galapagos Island is a ground to more species that have risen due to adaptation. Due to its remote location, it was possible for the scientists to conduct study about natural selection on biodiversity. THere are 18 species that have evolved from Darwin's finches. The diversification observed in the finches were the shape and size of beaks.
The Darwin's finches developed over time with strong crushing and probing beaks adapted to catch insects or crack nuts. Even some have sharp long beaks to drink blood.
Another species observed is the marine Iguana with adapted short blunt stout, and long tail to swim deep into sea.
The flightless cormorant found in this island, were adapted to survive as there was no necessity to fly. Instead their dense bodies, small feet, and powerful legs makes them to be good divers to hunt fish, eels, and small octopus.
The correct answer is E)52
When there is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium like in this case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes. Let's put that A is dominant and a is recessive allele. In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium we have:
p²+2*p*q+q²= 1 p+q=1 p=1-q
f(a) =0.4=q q²=0.4²=0.16=16%
p= 1-0.4=0.6 p²=0.6²=0.36=36%
Percentage of a homozygous genotype in the population is 16%+36%=52%
The nurse should put the patient back and do a check to find the source of the pain. If the problem is serious the nurse should retrieve the doctor and if the problem is minor the nurse should give the patient pain reliving medicine.
Attached is the image of the concerned ECG reading.
In reading the ECG, first you read the heart rate. To read the heart rate, you must count for the number of small boxes in between QRS complexes, specifically R-R intervals. These number of small boxes will then be used to divide 1500. In this example, there are 20 small boxes between R-R intervals. 1500 divided by 20 is 75, so the heart rate of this ECG reading is 75 beats per minute.
<em>Another way, albeit less accurate, is to count the big squares between R-R intervals and instead of dividing it by 1500, you divide it by 300.</em>
