Answer:

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{47}_4}{C^{40}_5}

Explanation:

It is given that out of 40, total 5 specimen are selected.

Thus, the number of ways in which 5 specimens are selected from a given sample of 40 is given by

C^{40}_{5}\\

Number of specimen with certain trait is equal to 3.

Now, total 5 specimen are selected out of which one specimen is selected from the set of specimen that has certain trait (i.e out of 3) while the remaining four specimen will be selected from the rest 40-3=37 specimen.

Thus, the probability of choosing only 1 of the 5 specimens with the trait is equal to

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{37}_4}{C^{40}_5}

Which of the following is the best description of the fluid mosaic model? A stationary triglyceride bilayer with fluid proteins.
joja [24]
Hiya once again,

The fluid mosaic model explains only but observations about the structure of functioning cell membranes. However, a lipid bilayer is used to describe the membranes of animals and plant cells. This isn't a great question to be honest with you, so let's try it like this:

Triglyceride: Ester formed by Glycerol and 3 fatty acid groups. These guys are basically made up of fats and oils. (Ex- High concentrated blood)

Phospholipid: A lipid containing a phosphate (an ester of phosphoric acid) in its molecule.

Bilayer: A film (layer) of molecules (created by lipids) that are arranged with it's hydrophobic (meaning whatever it is does NOT mix well with water... Kinda like pouring sugar into a cold glass of water and waiting for the sugar to melt) inverted at both ends of the film.

Embedded Proteins ('Intrinsic Proteins' if you wanna be fancy): Having one or more segments embedded into the phospholipid bilayer.

Stationary (phase): This is something that is mostly involved with bacterial growth

I really hope this helps! Let me know what you got and which one was right!

Interesting facts about rainforest biome
otez555 [7]

1. Rainforests only cover around 2 percent the total surface area of the Earth, but really about 50 percent of the plants and animals on the earth live in the rainforest.

2. There are two different types of rainforests, and they include both temperate and tropical. The tropical rainforests are the ones that are most commonly found around the world.

3. A fifth of our fresh water is found in tropical rainforests, the Amazon Basin to be exact.

4.  Within four square miles of tropical rainforest, you will find 1500 flowering plant species, 750 types of trees, and many of these plants can be helpful in combating cancer.

5. Rainforests are threatened each and every day, especially by practices such as agriculture, ranching, logging and mining.

Hope this helps!
