Why aren't lipids considered polymers?
OverLord2011 [107]
A polymer is made up of monomers. A monomer is a unit that occurs in repetitive chains. Lipids do not occur in repetitive chains, so they are not classified as monomers. Since they're not monomers, they can't make up polymers, either.

If someone with auburn hair has children with someone with red hair (but whose mother had black hair ) what are the genotype and
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The phenotype is - 75 % red and 25 %brown.

The genotype is hRhR - 25%

hBkhR - 50%

hBrhBk - 25%.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The cross given here is a simple dominant - recessive relationship between the three types of alleles of hair colour. The genes of this characteristics are present in autosomes, so will be segregated equally among all the sexes of the offsprings.

Now the genotype of auburn and red with black mother is given. So during gametogenesis, the gametes from the parents will be

Father - hBr and hR

Mother - hBk and hR

So, the probable combinations are hBrhBk, hBrhR and hBkhR.

The frequency of the combinations are 25%, 25% and 50% respectively.

The phenotypic ratio will be red : brown as 3:1.

if the following graph represents the decay of strontium-90 in an igneous rock, what event occurred at 0 years on the horizontal
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

At 0 years, an event took place which is known as metamorphosis of igneous rock i.e., formation of igneous rocks from melted magma.

Strontium-90 is a radioactive element which undergoes beta decay to form yttrium-90. It has a half life of approximately 28 years and decay energy of 0.546 MeV. This radioactivity is used by geologist to estimate the age of the rock, fossils, meteorites etc. Other radioactive elements used by the geologists are carbon-40, potassium-40 etc.

Radiometric clock is set when the rock was formed in the past i.e., the moment when an ingenious rock was solidified from molten magma.
