The larger mass a star has the shorter its life span will be because since it is so large, the more nuclear energy it has to create to keep it up and running. So the smaller the star the longer its life span and vise versa. Hope this helped!

The life of a star basically depended on the hydrogen contained with in it. A star burns hydrogen during majority period of its life and convert hydrogen into helium on the main sequence. So the main sequence life time is determined by the mass of the star as mass of hydrogen contained is equivalent to the mass of star and the life time is dependent on the mass of the hydrogen.

Thus, it can be stated that mass of star is directly proportional to its lifetime.

alekssr [168]

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Let’s look at a different gene locus, we’ll call it B. The normal, wild type, the population was 100% BB. There are 150 Pakicetus in the population at present. Assume Charles had another mutation; this one at the B locus, to produce allele b. What is the gene frequency of allele b in the population if the population of Pakicetus reaches 100,000

answer : ≈ 1

Explanation:

<u>Determine the Gene frequency of allele b </u>

Population = 100,000

There are 150 Pakicetus in population i.e. 300 alleles at locus B

hence the frequency of b = 1/300 = 0.33%

Increase in population does not affect frequency of b ( HW equilibrium )

<em>therefore the Gene frequency of allele b </em>

= 0.33% * 0.33% * 100000 = 1.08  

≈ 1
