Answer: Metric System
Explanation: The metric system is a more logical way of explaining measurements because it uses base ten to go up or down in the scale of measurement. This makes it more efficient and reasonable, on top of being easier to learn.
Answer:
PpDD and PpDd
Explanation:
Pigmented eyes (P) are dominant to non-pigmented (p), and dimpled chins (D) are dominant to Non-dimpled chins (d).
The <u>possible genotypes of a pigment-eyed, dimple-chinned person</u> would be PPDD, PpDd, PPDd, PpDD while a blue-eyed person without a dimpled chin would have the genotype ppdd.
The genotype of a blue-eyed, dimpled chin child would be either of ppDd or ppDD, but in this case, the mother is ppdd and as such, the child cannot have two copies of D allele. Hence, the genotype of the child can only be ppDd.
In order for the child to have blue eyes (pp), it means that the father has to have the non-pigmented allele (p). This also means that the father is heterozygous for eye pigmentation (Pp).
<em>Hence, the genotype of the father is now limited to </em><em>PpDD</em> <em>and </em><em>PpDd</em>.
Answer:
5.6L
Explanation:
Given parameters:
number of moles = 0.25mol
pressure on gas = 1atm
temperature = 273K
Gas constant R = 0.0821Latm/molK
Unknown:
Volume of gas = ?
Solution:
Using the ideal gas equation, we can solve this problem. The equation is a combination of the three gas laws: Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law.
It is mathematically expressed as;
PV = nRT
where P is the pressure
V is the volume
R is the gas constant
T is the temperature
n is the number of moles
All the parameters are in the appropriate units and we simply solve for the volume of the gas;
1 x V = 0.25 x 0.0821 x 273
V = 5.6L
