Answer:
1. Cohesion is the attractive force between water molecules
Explanation:
Answer:
Why are molecules such as valinomycin effective at transporting ions across the membrane?
Valinomycin is effective as transporting ions across the membrane because it is no charged, so it can carry ions.
Why would a drop in temperature to or below the transition temperature limit valinomycin mediated K+ transport across the plasma membrane?
Valinomycin is limited by temperature because its activity is highly sensitive and it depends on a stable and an average temperature.
Explanation:
Valinomycin is effective at transporting ion across the membrane because is an antibiotic that alternates hydroxy and amino acid, ans it helps membranes to be permeable. Valinomycin is a cyclic molecule that helps in ions transportation through membranes. Also, antibiotics have a temperature range of activity, that's why it is sensitive to changes.
The presences of myelin allows an axon to conduct their signals rapidly
Answer:
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks a type of white blood cell called a T-helper cell (also called a CD4 cell). People who have been infected with HIV develop AIDS. People with AIDS often develop diseases caused by organisms that usually do not harm people who are not infected with HIV. Explain why the organisms are more harmful to people with HIV than to people without HIV
Answer:
0.78
Explanation:
Fitness measures the probability of survival and reproduction of a particular phenotype or genotype in a population.
Relative fitness measures how fit one genotype or phenotype is with respect to the most fit genotype or phenotype in a popualtion. It is calculated as = survival rate of that group / maximum survival rate observed in that population
Here,
Total number of yellow birds = 263
Yellows birds that survived = 150
Survival rate of yellow birds = 150/263 = 0.57
Total number of grey birds = 413
Grey birds that survived = 303
Survival rate of grey birds = 303/413 = 0.73
Grey birds have more survival rate than yellow birds so their survival rate is maximum in the population.
Fitness of yellow phenotype relative to grey phenotype = survival rate of yellow birds / survival rate of grey birds
= 0.57 / 0.73
= 0.78
Hence, fitness of the yellow phenotype relative to the grey one is 0.78.
