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.

Which type of mutation affects the largest number of genes
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Chromosomal Mutation

Explanation:

The development and function of an organism is in large part controlled by genes. Mutations can lead to changes in the structure of an encoded protein or to a decrease or complete loss in its expression. Because a change in the DNA sequence affects all copies of the encoded protein, mutations can be particularly damaging to a cell or organism. In contrast, any alterations in the sequences of RNA or protein molecules that occur during their synthesis are less serious because many copies of each RNA and protein are synthesized.

Geneticists often distinguish between the genotype and phenotype of an organism. Strictly speaking, the entire set of genes carried by an individual is its genotype, whereas the function and physical appearance of an individual is referred to as its phenotype. However, the two terms commonly are used in a more restricted sense: genotype usually denotes whether an individual carries mutations in a single gene (or a small number of genes), and phenotype denotes the physical and functional consequences of that genotype.
