Let’s say John’s age is x. Jim’s age is y. And Dana’s age is z. Then the equation would be:
1.) x + y + z = 167.
We also know that John (x) is 3 years older that Jim (y), so we can make the equation:
2.) y + 3 = x
We know that Jim (y) is 4 years younger than half of Dana’s age (z), so we can make this equation:
3.) z/2 - 4 = y
Now we can combine these equations so that we only have one variable remaining.
The second and third equation can combine to create:
4.) (z/2 - 4) + 3 = x
Then combine the first, third, and fourth equations to have only z as a variable.
5.) ((z/2 - 4) + 3) + (z/2 - 4) + z = 167
Simplify the fifth equation by isolating the variable:
z = 86
Dana’s age is 86. Now plug this into the remaining equations.
86/2 - 4 = 39
Jim is 39. Plug this number into the second equation.
39 + 3 = 42.
John is 42.

FINAL ANSWER:
John = 42
Jim = 39
Dana = 86

Why is human blood type an example of multiple alleles? codominance?
Yanka [14]
It is because when alleles show a co-dominant relationship , neither allele is dominant and both are expressed in the phenotype of the heterozygote. The human ABO blood groups provide a good example of codominace. The ABO system is due to a gene that codes for molecules on the surface of red blood cells

Question 6 of 10
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is D viruses that enter a lysogenic cycle do not immediately kill a host cell.

Explanation:

Lysogenic  cycle is carried out by lambda phage which integrate its DNA with the genome of bacteria resulting in the formation of prophage.

    The phage DNA replicate along with bacterial DNA and exist in this form for a period of time until the phage DNA recognizes any type of mutation such as exposure to ultraviolet ray which helps the lambda phage to enter the lytic cycle.
