Think of the shape of a wave. It looks like a squiggly line. We know the highest part of that line is the peak. The wavelength i

s the distance between wave peaks. Waves of the same type can differ in wavelength. For example, the wavelength of light waves determines its color. Amplitude is the measurement of a wave's height. It is measured in two ways. Peak-to-peak amplitude is the distance between the peak (the topmost part of a wave) and the trough (the lowermost part). Semi-amplitude is half the peak-to-peak amplitude. Most of the time when people refer to "amplitude," they are referring to the semi-amplitude: the distance from the middle of the wave to the top, or the middle of the wave to the bottom. The amplitude of a sound wave determines its volume.
Which of the following best explains the relationship between peak-to-peak amplitude and semi-amplitude?
A Semi-amplitude is half the distance of the peak-to-peak amplitude.
B Semi-amplitude is the same distance as the peak-to-peak amplitude.
C Semi-amplitude is double the distance of the peak-to-peak amplitude.
D Semi-amplitude is always greater than the peak-to-peak amplitude.

In prokaryotes new mutations accumulate quickly in populations, while in eukaryotes new mutations accumulate much more slowly.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In Prokaryotes the the rate of new mutations is much more as compared to the eukaryotes. The rate of accumulation of mutation is slow in case of  eukaryote because their generation is long as compared to prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes have short generation time and large population size which enables them to accumulate the mutation quickly.

The machinery is also not that complex when it comes to prokaryotes. Transduction, conjugation and tranposable elements. So, the changes during these processes leads to mutation in the prokaryotes and can be observed quickly due to their small generation.

The classification of some organisms has changed. Which new process is used to reclassify organisms?
Airida [17]

Answer:

C. Organisms are now divided into three kingdoms.

Explanation:

In the early 1860s, a German scientist named Ernst Haeckel suggested using a three kingdom system of classification. Haeckel's three kingdoms were Animalia, Plantae, and Protista.
