Suppose that the number of newborns (N) in an insect population can be predicted from the number of adult insects (I) according

to the following equation, where r and b are variables related to the rates of population growth: N=rI−bI2. Calculate N if r=1.5, b=0.0015, and I=500. Rounding to the nearest whole number, N equals which of the following?
a) 1880
b) 375
c) 188
d) 749

Answer:

d: 749

Explanation:

From the equation, N = rl - bl2, where N is the number of newborns, l is the number of adult insects, and r and b are variables; with all the components given, N can be calculated by direct substitution.

Since r = 1.5, b = 0.0015, and l = 500, therefore, substitute for r, b, and l to get N such that;

N = 1.5(500) - (0.0015)(500)2

         750 - 1.5

N = 748.5

Rounding to the nearest whole number. N = 749.

<em>The correct answer is d.</em>

The __________ of the heart rests on the diaphragm, and from its __________, the great vessels emerge (hint: not chambers)
Sergeu [11.5K]
The answer is apex and base. To simplify, the apex of the heart rests on the diaphragm and from its base, the great vessels emerge. In addition, blood vessels that are nearer to the pumping heart and must enlarge to endure pressure variations are named elastic arteries and foramen ovale permits blood to pass from the right to the left atrium, therefore avoiding to pass the fetal lungs.

Are the offspring of parents who are both homozygous dominant for normal red blood cells in danger of getting sickle-cell anemia
Ksju [112]

Answer:

If both parents do not have sickle-cell anemia, than the possibility is low.

Explanation:

If both parents have the sickle-cell trait, their offspring has a 25 percent chance of getting sickle cell anemia and a 50 percent risk of them having sickle cell trait. Meanwhile, there is also a 25 percent chance of the child not getting it at all.

If one parent has sickle cell anemia and the other has sickle cell trait, then their offspring with have a 50 percent chance of getting sickle cell anemia and a 50 percent chance of getting a sickle cell trait.

When both parents have sickle cell anemia, their child will definitely have it.
