What is the main difference between a taproot and a fibrous root?
anastassius [24]
Fibrous roots grow from the main stem of the plant and does not have a primary root like the taproot. They grow downward and outward, with repeating branches to form a mass of small roots.Dicots and monocots are the two classes of flowering plants. The majority of taproot systems are composed of dicots and conifers.

PLSS HELP how is gene knockout similar to gene sequencing?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Gene knockout is a technique used to determine the function of a gene that has already been sequenced, which is achieved by analyzing the phenotype of the individual carrying the knockout mutation(s). Moreover, gene sequencing is a technique used to determine the sequence of a given gene, which allows to determine how gene variants (polymorphisms) may be associated with the phenotypes of the target trait.  

Explanation:

In genetics, gene knockout is a technique used to trigger mutations in a (already) sequenced gene in order to inactive its function and observe the resulting phenotype for a particular trait. This approach that starts with the inactivation of a given gene and ends with the phenotype is known as reverse-genetics. On the other hand, gene sequencing can be defined as the methodologies/techniques/tools used to determine the nucleotide base pair sequence of a particular gene. The gene knockout technique involves knowing a priori the gene sequence in order to obtain a gene knockout (gene KO). The combination of the information obtained from these techniques can be used to determine how variation (genetic variation) affects the expression of a phenotypic trait.

The rate at which the concentration of a drug in the bloodstream decreases is proportional to the concentration at any time t. I
Westkost [7]

Answer:

C(t) = C_oe^{-kt}

Explanation:

From the given information:

At any given time (t), let c(t) represent the concentration of the drug present in bloodstream.

Deriving the equation:

\dfrac{dC}{dt} decrease proportionally to Concentration C

i.e

\dfrac{dc}{dt} \alpha - C

\dfrac{dc}{dt} = -k C

\dfrac{dc}{c} = -k dt

\int \dfrac{dc}{c} = -k \int dt

㏑(C) = -kt + λ

where,

λ is the integration constant.

Integrating at t = 0, concentration of blood = Co g/mL

C(0) = Co

㏑(C₀) = 0 + λ

λ = ㏑(C₀)

From ㏑(C) = -kt + λ

㏑(C) = -kt + ㏑C₀

㏑(C)  - ㏑C₀ =  -kt

\dfrac{C}{C_o} = e^{-kt}

C(t) = C_oe^{-kt}

∴

The concentration of drug in blood at any time t is:

C(t) = C_oe^{-kt}
