Svetllana [295]

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a disease that is characterized by an abnormal blood clotting process. There are many different proteins that are involved in the clotting process and a single mutation or change in one of them could result in serious effects. Hemophilia is characterized by an abnormal version of one of the many proteins involved in the clotting process, the proteins that are commonly affected are the coagulation factor 8 or 9 (VIII or IX). These abnormal proteins are caused by a mutation in the gene (within the DNA) that codifies for the production of each protein. In other words, a mutation in the part of the DNA, (gene F8) will lead to a dysfunctional coagulation factor VIII and a mutation in the gene F9 will lead to a dysfunctional coagulation factor IX. Importantly, these mutations could be inherited and could cause hemophilia. Therefore, an error in the DNA and subsequently, an error in the protein will cause hemophilia. Finally, it is important to mention that there are other types of hemophilia that are not caused by the above-mentioned mutations, such as acquired hemophilia.

A scientist is studying the population of a particular species of beetle in an ecosystem. The beetles currently have an estimate

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer/Explanation:

Given an estimated beetle population of 11,500, of which it is estimated to increase approximately by 5% each year, we can calculate the estimated population for each year as follows:

Year Calculation Est. Population

1st yr (current yr) 11,500

2nd yr 11,500*105% 12,075

3rd yr 12,075*105% 12,679

4th yr 12,679*105% 13,313

5th yr 13,313*105% 13,979

6th yr 13,979*105% 14,678

The above is how the table would like showing the estimated population for each year.

What will be the percentage of potassium-40 remaining after 3.9 billion years?

Papessa [141]

Potassium-40 has a half life of 1.251×billion years. To determine the percentage potassium-40 remaining after 3.9 billion years, divide
3.9 by 1.251, = 3.12.

This is the number of times the original amount of potassium-40 reduces by 50%. The remaining percentage is therefore 100%/(3.12 * 2) = 16.03%.
