Answer:

1.708*10^6 tons.

Explanation:

Number of Aluminum cans used by 1 person in 1 year = 365/2=182.5 say it as 183 cans per year.

Total number of people in US= 280,000,000

Total number of cans used by americans.

= 5.12×10^10 cans

Weight of 1 can =1/15 pounds

Weight of all cans used in 1 year

= \frac{5.12*10^10}{15} =3.41*10^9pounds.

we know that

1ton=2000pounds.

\frac{3.41*10^9 pounds}{2000} = 1.708*10^6 tons.

as the trait is dominant and controlled by a single gene,the mutation must have occurred on both diploid copies. true or false?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A dominant trait is a trait that is inherited from parents. It is a trait that is obtained from a particular copy or type of a gene that overshadows or overwhelms the effects of another type or copy of that gene. Dominant traits are controlled by a single gene.

Therefore , as the trait is dominant and controlled by a single gene,the mutation must have occurred on both diploid copies is a false statement.
