An endangered species of fish has a population that is decreasing exponentially:A=A0 e^kt The population 10 years ago was 1700.

Today, only 800 of the fish are alive. Once the population drops below 100, the situation will be irreversible. When will this happen, according to the model? (Round to the nearest whole year.)A.29B.30C.32D.31E.None of the above

Answer:

The correct answer is E. none of the above.  The population will drops below 100 when t ≥ 38.

Explanation:

Given A= A0 e^kt. The population 10 years ago is A0, the population today is A(10), and we have to find the value of "k" and then the time when population drops below 100.

So, A(t) = 1700 e^kt ⇒ A(10) = 1700 e^k(10) ⇒ 800 = 1700 e^k(10) ⇒

800/1700 = e^k(10) ⇒ln (800/1700) = k(10) ln e ⇒ -0.754/10 = k ⇒

k = -0.0754.

Now you have all the parameters, so you can find the time at which the population drops below 100.

A(t) = 1700 e^kt ⇒ 100 = 1700 e^(-0.0754)t ⇒100/1700 = e^(-0.0754)t ⇒

ln(100/1700) = (-0.0754)t ln e ⇒ [ln(100/1700)]/(-0.0754) = t ⇒

t = 38.

So, the population will drops below 100 when t ≥ 38.

Genetic engineering has many applications, including uses in the medical, agricultural, and environmental industries. Describe o
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Genetic engineering has multiple applications in different fields. Genetic engineering is the process by which alterations are made at the genetic level so that the final product is superior in quality and yield.

Explanation:

Following are few of it's applications:

<u>Medical field</u>- Genetic engineering is been used to produce insulin artificially, human growth hormones, anti hemophiliac factors, vaccines and other drugs.

<u>Agricultural industry</u>- It has been used to synthesize  improvised crops which give better yield and are pest resistant. E.g Flavr savr, a species of tomato which is more juicy and larger in size than regular tomatoes.

<u>Environment</u>- With the introduction of herbicide resistant corn, farmers reduced the use of tractors which in turn reduced the amount of greenhouse gases. Also, by imparting disease resistance to plants, a lot of plants are prevented from dying. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be maintained.

Mutations in DNA include deletions and insertions. These types of mutations:
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

(A). Result in different amino acids to be read due to frame shifts

Explanation:

Insertion or deletion mutations (or Indel mutations) can be defined as mutations in DNA due to insertion (addition) or deletion of nucleotide bases in DNA.  

These mutations lead to change in reading frames (sequence of codons), which leads to formation of protein having completely different amino acid sequence. Hence, these mutations are also cause frameshift mutations.

This is due due to triplet nature of genetic codes as insertion or deletion of one or more bases (but not three) would change change in codon sequence and mutated sequence can form a non-functional or truncated protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
