Animals are totally dependent on plants and microorganisms for nitrogen fixation and nitrate assimilation because animals: A. do

not have the reducing power (NADPH) to fix nitrogen. B. lack the enzyme aminotransferase. C. lack the enzymes to reduce N2 and NO3- to NH4+. D. lack carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I. E. lack glutamate dehydrogenase.

Answer:

C. lack the enzymes to reduce N2 and NO3- to NH4+

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixation is a process by which atmospheric nitrogen (N2) is converted into ammonia (NH3) so that can be used in metabolic pathways (e.g. biosynthesis of macromolecules). Nitrogen fixation is performed by Archea and bacteria such as Azotobacter (usually in symbiosis with Leguminosa plants).

Nitrogen assimilation is a process in which organic compounds are made from inorganic nitrogen.

Answer:

(b) The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.

(d) The median of A is the same as the median of B.

Explanation:

Given

$A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}$

$10th\ run = 9$

So:

$B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}$

Required

Select all true statements

(a) & (d) Median Comparisons

$A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}$ $B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}$

$n = 9$ $n = 10$

Arrange the data:

$A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,3, 4\}$ $B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}$

$Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}th$ $Median = \frac{10 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{10}{2}th$ $Median = \frac{11}{2}th$

$Median = 5th$ $Median = 5.5}th$ --- average of 5th and 6th

$Median = 2$ $Median = \frac{2+2}{2} = 2$

Option (d) is correct because both have a median of: 2

(b) & (c) Interquartile Range Comparisons

$A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,3, 4\}$ $B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}$

$n = 9$ $n = 10$

First, calculate the lower quartile (Q1)

$Q_1 = \frac{n + 1}{4}th$ [Odd n] $Q_1 = \frac{n}{4}th$ [Even n]

$Q_1 = \frac{9 + 1}{4}th$ $Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th$

$Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th$ $Q_1 = 2.5$

$Q_1 = 2.5th$

This means that:

$Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)$ $Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)$

$Q_1 = 1 + 0.5(1- 1)$ $Q_1 = 1+ 0.5(1 - 1)$

$Q_1 = 1$ $Q_1 = 1$

Next, calculate the upper quartile (Q3)

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n + 1)th$ [Odd n] $Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n)th$ [Even n]

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(9 + 1)th$ $Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th$

$Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th$ $Q_3 = 7.5th$

$Q_3 = 7.5th$

This means that:

$Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)$ $Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)$

$Q_3 = 2 + 0.5(3- 2)$ $Q_3 = 2+ 0.5(4 - 2)$

$Q_3 = 2.5$ $Q_3 = 3$

The interquartile range is $IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

So, we have:

$IQR = 2.5 - 1$ $IQR = 3 - 1$

$IQR = 1.5$ $IQR =2$

(b) is true because B has a greater IQR than A

(e) This is false because some spread measures (which include quartiles and the interquartile range) changed when the 10th data is included.

The upper quartile and the interquartile range of A and B are not equal

How did the development of technology and academic rivalry influence the Human Genome Project?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

<span>The Human Genome Project had a very negative effect due to development in technology and academic rivalry. With knowledge came bitter rivalry and with technology came the tendency to become God. These angles greatly created negative impact about this project. The experts tried to create human clones, tissue engineering etc. The scientists tried to analyze a person and get rid of any future disease that might attack them. Some people feel this is good while others feel that it is like distorting the natural process. </span>
