<span>The answer is (A) 72.25 percent. For an offspring, there are four possible outcomes: RR, rr, Rr, and rR (first and second letters corresponding to maternal and paternal contributions). To calculate the likelihood of each outcome, we multiply the likelihood of the two independent contributions. For the RR outcome, that is 0.85 times 0.85, which equals .7225 or 72.25%.</span>

Assessing biodiversity:
Helen [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Biodiversity refers to the diversity of the biological entities present in an ecosystem. Biodiversity has a wide spectrum which not only includes the number of the diversity of the organism but also the interaction between them.

The biodiversity is assessed to study the changes that are taking place in an ecosystem, to study the causes and how the changes affect the human well being.

The assessment decisions ignore the personal interests and the biasness as the aim of the approach is not fulfil the personal needs but to maintain sustainable management of the ecosystem.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Your body contains tens of thousands of different proteins, each with a specific structure and function. The unique three-dimens
valkas [14]

Answer:

Each protein with a specific structure and function

The unique three dimensional shape of proteins is based on several superimposed levels of structure

Explanation:

Proteins are essential nutrients for human and a vital source of fuel for building body tissues. They are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. These amino acids act as precursor to nucleic acids, hormones, immune, repair of tissues among others.

Proteins contain 20 amino acids which are the building block for proteins. These amino acids can be reformed to create millions of protein in human body in which each protein has specific structure and function.

The three dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid chain is know as the protein structure. The precise shape formed determine the protein function.

A meteorite is determined to be 4.5 billion years old. It now has 78 atoms of lead-206. Assuming no loss of daughter isotopes, h
vovangra [49]
Given the age of the meteorite is 4.5 billion years old with 78 atoms of lead-206 the answer should be B. 156. The half-life of uranium-238 in order to decay into lead-206 is 4.46 billion years, which means that the original number of atoms is 156.

Is there any great similarity between the muscle structure and muscle arrangement in the cat and humans?
STALIN [3.7K]
The similarity in the arrangement and structure exists mostly with the quads because we, just like cats, need to be able to flex and extend them so we need a lot of strength in them.
