What does it mean that radioactive decay is exponential?

Biology
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
8 0
When a population or group of something is declining, and the amount that decreases is proportional to the size of the population, it's called exponential decay<span>. In </span>exponential decay<span>, the total value decreases but the proportion that leaves remains constant over time. so the radioactivity would be declining proportionally to the size of radioactive area.

hope this can help a bit, message me fi you have questions <3</span>

Variation in dna sequences are useful for building a tree of life because __________.
UNO [17]
DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information of a given organisms. Genetic variation is the changes that occur in the genome of an organisms to help an organism adapt well to the environment, however, they might also be disadvantageous. The variation in DNA sequences are useful in building a tree of life because DNA sequences are similar in closely related organisms and less similar in less closely related organisms.

kirill [66]
The snakehead could unreservedly eat little fish and scavangers, so that would evacuate/diminish the predator for zooplankton and phytoplankton. So zooplankton and phytoplankton populace would increment while little fish and scavanger populace would diminish. Presently if little fish and shellfish populace diminishes, their predators would have bring down sustenance, so vast fish pop. would diminish. On the off chance that vast fish pop. diminishes, their predators will have less nourishment thus the number of inhabitants in well evolved creatures will somewhat drop, however not by much, since they can feast upon zooplankton. 
So at last, just the phytoplankton populace would increment while everything else diminishes.

A mutation occurs in which a base (T) is inserted into the DNA sequence after the G, at the position marked with an asterisk, be
Zarrin [17]

A mutation which occurs when a base is introduced into the DNA sequence before transcription begins will lead to frame-shift of a single base on the DNA sequence resulting in nonfunctional protein from the transcribed mRNA.

Explanation:

This change either through addition or deletion of a single base in the codon sequences of the DNA will modify the amino acid codes and will result in nonfunctional proteins after transcription.

This mutation will just result in change of a single base, i.e., it would be added either to the enhancer region or the silencer region of the sequence before the promoter which initiates transcription.

The mRNA produced due to mutated DNA sequence after the deletion or insertion point will be read as out of frame thus resulting in nonsense protein.
