Answer:

Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of first isotope = 21 amu

Abundance of first isotope = 62%

Mass of second isotope = 22 amu

Abundance of second isotope = 38%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (62×21)+(38×22) /100

Average atomic mass =  1302 +836 / 100

Average atomic mass = 2138 / 100

Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.

OLga [1]
There are choices for this question namely:

1 Cesarean section
2 Vaginal delivery with forceps extraction
3 Vaginal delivery with vacuum extraction
4 <span>Fetal scalp electrode
</span>
The correct answer is "cesarean section". In cesarean section, we are preventing the vertical transfer of the virus from the mother to the baby by bypassing the vaginal mucosa (which has secretions, potentially with high viral load). Fetal scalp electrode, on the other hand, is not a method of delivery.

Imagine a population of moths. White moths are easier for birds to see and eat. Black moths blend into their surroundings, so th
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is - natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process of adapting according to the environmental change in order to survive and reproduce and increase their number. It is represented by Darwin for the first time. Natural selection leads to evolution.

In this case, White moths adapt according to the environment by increasing the population of black moths in order to blend with the surrounding and as the result, black moths are more likely to produce and survive and passed this trait to the next generation.
