25. A post-doctoral research student is working with a culture of bacteria that doubles in size every 72 hours. The initial popu

lation count was 750 bacteria. Rounding to five significant digits, write an exponential equation representing this situation. To the nearest whole number, what is the population size after 30 days?

Answer:

P=750 e^{0.00963t}

The population size would be 753,190 after 30 days

Explanation:

Since, the population growth function is,

P = P_0 e^{rt}

According to the question,

if t = 0, P = 750,

\implies 750 = P_0 e^0\implies P_0 = 750

Also, if t = 72, P = 1500,

\implies 1500 = P_0 e^{72r}\implies 1500 = 750 e^{72r}\implies 2 = e^{72r}\implies \ln 2 = 72r\implies r = \frac{\ln 2}{72}\approx 0.00963

Hence, the required function would be,

P=750 e^{0.00963t}

If t = 720 hours  ( 30 days = 720 hours ),

Then, the population after 30 days would be,

P=750 e^{0.00963\times 720}=750 e^{6.912}=753190.30695\approx 753190

Between a Black father bear (genotype BB) and a Brown mother bear (genotype bb), they had several baby bears.Black fur allele (B
Karolina [17]

Answer:

100% or 1

Explanation:

This question involves a gene coding for fur color in bears. According to the question, black fur allele (B) is dominant over the brown fur allele (b). This means that a bear heterozygous for fur color (Bb) will be phenotypically black.

In this question, a black father bear (genotype BB) and a brown mother bear (genotype bb) were crossed, the baby bears will all have a genotype Bb (see punnet square in the attached image). Since all the offsprings of this cross have genotype Bb, this means that 100% will have black fur.
