g Indium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 113In with an atomic weight of 112.904 amu, and 115In with an atomic weight of 11

4.904 amu. If the average atomic weight for In is 114.818 amu, calculate the fraction-of-occurrences of 115In isotope. Round off the answer to three significant figures.

Answer:

Fraction-of-occurrences of 115In isotope = 0.957

Explanation:

As we know  weight of 113 In  isotope is equal to the sum of product of fraction-of-occurrences of two constituents isotopes and their atomic weight

^{115}In_w = f_{113}*A_{113} + f_{115}*A_{115} ------(1)

As we know sum of fraction-of-occurrences of two constituents isotopes is equal to one.

f_{113} + f_{115} = 1\\f_{113} = 1- f_{115}---------(2)

Substituting the given values in equation 1, we get

^{115}In_w = f_{113}*A_{113} + f_{115}*A_{115}\\114.818 = (1 - f_{115}) * 112.904 + f_{115} * 114.904\\f_{115} = 0.957

Substituting this value in equation 2 we get -

f_{113} = 1- f_{115}\\f_{113} =  1- 0.957 \\f_{113} = 0.043

Which of the following features differentiates sporozoans from the other phyla of protozoans?
irakobra [83]
The correct answer to this question is this one: "sporozoans lack locomotor organs" 
The feature that differentiates sporozoans from the other phyla of protozoans is that sporozoans lack locomotor organs. Sporozoans are a strictly parasitic protozoan that are usually immobile.

A single strand of DNA helix has the code CGCTAA. Which would be the complementary code on the other strand of the helix?
Yakvenalex [24]

The correct answer is option 4, that is, GCGATT.  

Complementary strand refers to either of the two chains, which forms a double helix of DNA, with corresponding positions on the two chains comprising of a pair of complementary bases. It is a section of one nucleic acid, which is bonded to another by an alignment of base pairs.  

In nature, complementarity refers to the base principle of DNA transcription and replication as it is a characteristic shared between the two RNA or DNA sequences, such that when they are arranged antiparallel to each other, the nucleotide bases at each position in the sequences will be complementary.

One of the traits that we looked at in class was a widow's peak (has peak is dominant, no peak is recessive). For each individua
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation: 1) Individual who is bald but neither parents has a widow's peak: As having a peak is dominant and the individual is bald with parents that doesn't have the trait, the genotype is recessive, in the case ww;

2) Individual has a widow's peak: The individual's genotype can be WW, homozygous for the trait or Ww, heterozygous for the trait, depending on the genotype of the parents;

3) Individual can't roll their tongue: Being able to roll the tongue is a dominant characteristics, so if the individual can't roll their tongue means the genotype is recessive. But, there is little evidence that this trait is dominant or inheritable;

4) Individual has a widow's peak  but their mother does not: In this case, the genotype of the individual is heterozygous (Ww), because the mother is recessive (ww) and the offspring has the trait, so the father must have had it;

5) If an individual does not have a widow's peak (ww), which genotype would be impossible? If this individual crosses over with another individual with the same trait, their children will be all recessive for widow's peak (ww), so there is no possibility of an offspring with the trait;

If the initial individual crosses over with an individual with widow's peak, two possiblities can occur:

  • If the crossover is with an individual homozygous for the trait (WW): all their children will have widow's peak with genotype Ww. So, the possibility of not having the peak is 0;
  • If the crossover is with an individual heterozygous for the trait (Ww), there will be a probability of 25% for the children to have genotype WW, a probability of 50% for the offspring to be heterozygous (Ww) and has the trait and probability of 25% to be recessive (ww) and therefore doesn't have the trait;
