Assume there is a certain population of fish in a pond whose growth is described by the logistic equation. It is estimated that

the carrying capacity for the pond is 1500 fish. Absent constraints, the population would grow by 170% per year.
If the starting population is given by p0 = 400, then after one breeding season the population of the pond is given by p1 =.
After two breeding seasons the population of the pond is given by p2 =.

Answer:

The correct answer is  p1 = 898 and p2 = 1020.

Explanation:

This is a logistic growth problem and will utilize the following formula:  

Pn = P_{n-1} + r (1- \frac{P_{n-1} }{k} ) P_{n-1}

Given ;

r = 1.7

k = 1500

Po = 400

then,

Pn = 400 + 1.7 (1- \frac{400 }{1500} ) 400

= 400 + 1.7 (293)

= 400+ 498

P₁= 898

Similarly,

P₂= P_{2-1} + r (1- \frac{P_{2-1} }{k} ) P_{2-1}

= Pn = 400 + 1.7 (1- \frac{898 }{1500} ) 400

= 1020

Thus, the correct answer is  p1 = 898 and p2 = 1020.

Since her stomach was removed, Mrs. Lopez has the most difficulty initiating digestion of: Since her stomach was removed, Mrs. L
Svetllana [295]

Mrs. Lopez has the most difficulty initiating digestion of proteins after her stomach is removed. The correct option is C.

Explanation:

When the stomach is removed due to complications such as in cancers the food eaten directly goes to intestine. Without stomach Mrs Lopez will have difficulty in starting the digestion of protein.

The digestion of protein takes place and starts in the stomach and duodenum of intestine. There are enzymes as pepsin, trypsin and chyomtrypsin secreted  by stomach and pancreas. Pepsin breaks the peptide bonds of protein.

The HCl and the enzymes in stomach initiates the process of digestion of protein. The amino acids formed are ardent in various metabolic processes and repair.

lipids and carbohydrate digestion starts from the mouth only as salivary amylase and lipase initiates the process.

Which of the following statements about wings is true?
svp [43]

Answer:

Option (A), (B), (D) and (E).

Explanation:

Wings are present in class Aves that helps the birds to fly. Wings provides the means of locomotion and also allow the sexual selection in case of birds. The wings are the modified forelimb of birds.

The bats wings are ancestral whereas birds have derived wings. Birds and reptiles (turtle) mostly have ancestor with wings. On the basis of wings we cannot construct a phylogeny tree. Hence, wings are not the ideal characteristics for the construction of a phylogenetic tree.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A), (B), (D) and (E).

What should be done to correct positioning on an anteroposterior (AP) elbow with lateral rotation, when the radial head is sligh
natka813 [3]
<h2>Functions of elbow joint </h2>

Explanation:

  • The elbow joint should be rotated laterally.
  • This is because the elbow is basically a pivoted joint, however, it has the extraordinary capacity to turn the distal arm in pronation and supination
  • These exceptional movements, alongside a wide scope of dynamic exertional powers, incline the elbow and its structures to critical wounds, especially with tedious movements
  • Understanding the life systems and the physical powers of development will help in diagnosis
  • Hence, the right answer is "elbow joint should be rotated laterally on an (AP), when the radial head is slightly superimposed over the proximal ulna on the first effort"

You work in a laboratory that studies the molecular biology of tribbles. [Although tribbles are an alien life form, assume here
Helga [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) to determine amino acid sequence of the protein produced by that gene. We will use cDNA library, we will hybridize given part of DNA sequence ( as this part only contains exon part). Than we will isolate the hybridize part and translate this sequence using generic coding table.

B) for determine presence or absence of introns in gene used isolated cDNA in first question. Now we will add this cDNA to DNA library. Here cDNA due to complementary mature binds with DNA. If cDNA binds completely with gene with out looping part of gene it shows that gene is having only exons .

And if along with hybridization part some looped part present in between-- it shows both exons and intron are present.

C) for determining alternative splicing we will use cDNA library.

d) to determine length of mature mRNA which includes both the UTR and poly A sequence we will go for cDNA cloning and look for particular cDNA complementary to DNA segments. And later we isolate that cDNA and examine its whole length

E) to determine which cells in the tribble body express this particular mRNA . We use fluorescent tagged small DNA part provided. Then we will add this DNA probe to supplied tribes. The cells which are expressing , will have cDNA will bind to probe and florescent can be detected. Cells which are not expressing that gene, here probe will not bind and no fluorescence.  

F) to determine that whose blood strain is this. We will do VBTR profiling . Which VNTR profiling similar to belief stain help to determine which blood stain is this.
