<u>Answer:
</u>
When the outer electron shell is full in an element, this creates a Noble gas.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Noble gases are the elements that belong to group 18 in the periodic table. Noble gases are also called as inert gases. The outermost shell of the noble gases are fully filled by electrons. Due to this the noble gases don’t react with any other elements and remain isolated.
There are 6 noble gases in the periodic table. They are helium (He), Argon (Ar), Neon (Ne) Krypton (Kr), Radon (Rn) and Xenon (Xe). Noble gases conduct electricity. They are fluorescent, odorless and colorless. Noble gases are used a maintain stable elements in a constant and safe environment.
Basically six molecules of water (H2O) plus six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the presence of light energy produce one molecule of glucose sugar (C6H12O6) and emit six molecules of oxygen (O2) as a by-product. That sugar molecule drives the living world. Animals eat plants, then breathe in oxygen, which is used to metabolize the sugar, releasing the solar energy stored in glucose and giving off carbon dioxide as a by product
Hi the answer is circumstantial-situational drug use. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The next generation average time to flowering will be 98 days.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.
- Artificial selection is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.
- Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.
- The selection differential, SD, is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,
SD = Xs - X₀
- Heritability in the narrow-sense, h², is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.
h² = R/SD
- The response to selection (R) refers to the metric value gained or lost from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.
R = h²SD
R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),
R = X₀ - X₁
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.
<u>Available data: </u>
- trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers.
- the population mean time to flower is 100 days → X₀
- Chosen parental Plants mean flowering time is 90 days → Xs
- the narrow-sense heritability for flowering time is 0.2 → h²
According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of X₁, which reflects the next generation average time to flowering.
- We know that R = X₁ - X₀, so we need to clear this formula to calculate X₁
X₁ = R + X₀
We already know that X₀ = 100 days,
Now we need to calculate R.
We know that h² = 0.2,
Now we need to calculate SD
Xs = 90 days → Parentals media flowering time
X₀ = 100 → Population media flowering time
SD = Xs - X₀
SD = 90 - 100
SD = - 10 days
Knowing this, we can calculate R
o h² = 0.2
o SD = - 10
R = 0.2 x (-10)
R = - 2
- Finally, once we know the R-value we can calculate the X₁ value
X₁ = R + X₀
X₁ = - 2 + 100
X₁ = 98
