Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form

Using the data from the graph, explain the relationship between the population of snowshoe hares and the population of the lynx.
AnnyKZ [126]

As you already know, lynx are predators of hares and a balance between the populations of these two animals is necessary, so that the populations have a stable growth.

As you can see in the chart above, when the lynx population is very low, the hare population is high. This is because, as there are few lynxes, predation is low and hares are able to maintain their birth rate higher than the mortality rate. However, there are many hares available for lynx to feed on, which allows the lynx's birth rate to also be higher than the mortality rate, which causes the lynx population to grow.

Also according to the graph, you can see that as the lynx population grows, the hare population decreases. This is because the greater number of lynx causes predatorism to increase and hares are hunted by lynx in greater quantities. This causes the mortality rate of hares to be higher than the birth rate, which decreases its population. On the other hand, the abundance of food allows the lynx population to grow to some extent. This is because, as you can see in the graph, when the hares population is very small, the lynx does not have enough food, which causes an increase in the mortality rate, also decreasing the lynx population.

When the lynx population is low, predatorism is lower, which allows hares to reproduce by increasing their population, which will result in an increase in the lynx population.

What type of rock is marble? Describe how a piece of marble is likely to change over several years. (8 points)
Viktor [21]

Marble is a metamorphic rock.

Marble is a metamorphic rock, that forms when limestone (another rock) reaches a certain pressure and heat. It's composed of mostly calcite, and some other minerals like pyrite, quartz, iron oxide, and granite.

Over several years, marble is supposed to wear down from acid rain/weathering.

olganol [36]

Answer:

The genetic code that is a blueprint for our physical traits is called a <u>genotype.</u>

Explanation:

A genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism or group of organisms with reference to a single trait, set of traits, or an entire complex of traits. Whereas, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. For instance, stereotyping someone as racist for supporting Trump.
