The Celsius temperature scale is also something called the centigrade scale. Why is this?

There are three temperature scales in use today, Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin.

Fahrenheit temperature scale is a scale based on 32 for the freezing point of water and 212 for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 parts. The 18th-century German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit originally took as the zero of his scale the temperature of an equal ice-salt mixture and selected the values of 30 and 90 for the freezing point of water and normal body temperature, respectively; these later were revised to 32 and 96, but the final scale required an adjustment to 98.6 for the latter value.

Until the 1970s the Fahrenheit temperature scale was in general common use in English-speaking countries; the Celsius, or centigrade, scale was employed in most other countries and for scientific purposes worldwide. Since that time, however, most English-speaking countries have officially adopted the Celsius scale. The conversion formula for a temperature that is expressed on the Celsius (C) scale to its Fahrenheit (F) representation is: F = 9/5C + 32.


Hope this helps.

Una mujer lleva en uno de sus cromosomas X un gen letal recesivo (l), y en el otro alelo dominante normal (L). ¿Cuál es la propo
nlexa [21]

Question in English:

A female carries a recessive lethal gene (l) on one of her X chromosomes, and a normal dominant allele (L) on the other. What is the sex ratio to be expected in this woman's dependency if she marries a normal man?

Answer:

2/3 females

1/3 males

Explanation:

Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).

The genotype of the female is XLXl. The genotype of the male is XLY, since he is normal.

The possible genotypes are:

<u>                            XL                  Xl</u>

<u>XL</u>                     <em>XLXL             XLXl</em>

<u>Y</u>                       <em>XLY               </em><em>XlY</em>

<em />

All female offspring will be normal as they will always have one normal copy of the X chromosome from their father.

50% of the male offspring will be normal, but 50% will inherit the lethal gene from their mother.

Because the allele is lethal, that means XlY males will not be born.

That means 2/3 of the children will be females, and 1/3 will be males.

Determine how tRNA is used when cells build proteins ...?
alexdok [17]
<span>tRNA carries a single amino acid to the ribosome. 
It fits the codon on the mRNA in the ribosome with it's anti-codon. 

The ribosome has peptidyl-transferase activity which catalyses the peptide bond between 2 amino acids on 2 tRNAs in the ribosome. 

One tRNA is released and then picks up another amino acid depending on its anti-codon.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Population crashes cannot happen to humans?True False?<br><br>​
Galina-37 [17]
I think false because no one knows what will happen in the future and anything is possible, although the population does increase it can still decrease by high amounts aswell, anything bad could happen any time. People may not even have money to survive but it really depends on what happens and what could happen in the future, no one really knows what will happen so this statement would be false.

Anyway have a nice day :)
