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>

What is the third type of variation in Mendel's theory?
Nikitich [7]
The three most important Mendel law is the law of dominance, law of segregation, and law of independent assortment. The law of dominance is when a trait is more recived or more dominate than other trait. For example a flower, if a flower is red most of the flowers will be red, but one will be white. The white flower has a recessive trait. The law of segregation is when a offspring randomly receive one allele of every trait from each parent. The law of independent assortment states that just because you received one allele doesn't mean another dominate allele will be passed also.

What is the role of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) in regulating salt and water concentrations in the blood?
Alisiya [41]
Right when there is not that a lot of water within the body, pituitary organ releases additional vasoconstrictor to resorb more water in the circulatory framework therefore the pee are targeted..but once there is additional water in body, less ADH can be discharged to resorb less water within the blood therefore it leads to a weaken pee.

So the answer you are looking for is B. <span>It prompts the kidneys to reabsorb more water into the bloodstream to dilute the salts.

I hope this helps!</span>
