Can you guys check my answer to this? I think its C but I'm not really sure. Could you please help? This is the question: The mi

tochondrial DNA sequence that is shared by two species has a steady mutation rate. Scientists determine the sequences of these two species to be as follows:
 
Species A: CAGGCCATTATG
Species B: CCAGCCTATAGG
 
This DNA sequence has a known mutation rate, which the scientists used to calculate that the species diverged from a common ancestor 80 million years ago. Using this information, how much more time do you predict will pass before these species differ by a total of eight base pairs?
A.) 160 million years
B.) 32 million years
C.) 48 million years
D.) 240 million years

I think the answer is B, B-cause the formula is base pair times mutation, over number of species. They are asking how much time will pass before these species differ by a total of 8 base pairs, with the mutation rate of 80 million. Therefore 8 times 80 million is 640 million. Divide that by the number of species we got, which is two, and ya get 32 million. Ba Baum! Anyways I hope this helps!

Periaqueductal gray neurons send descending axons into various regions of the medulla releasing serotonin.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Periaqueductal gray matter is found in the middle portion of brain.  When this grey matter is stimulated it activates neurons that releases enkephalin. Enkephalin further direct the stimulation to the raphe nuclei  with in the brain stem that releases serotonin. In this process, the ascending and descending axons are released  from  

a) subcortical nuclei

b) spinal trigeminal nuclei  

c) the spinal cord

Hence, the given statement is true

According to the food chain, label the following organisms appropriately. 1. secondary consumer cat 2. primary consumer grass 3.
-Dominant- [34]

The correct sequence is:

1 Producers ( grass ): The producers are the green plants that produce food for the consumers. Green plants are the producers and energy produced is transferred to primary consumers

2 Primary consumer (mouse): The primary consumers include bacteria and herbivores that feed on the green plants for their energy

3 Secondary consumer (cat): The secondary consumers include the cat and other small animals that feed on primary consumers

4 Tertiary consumer (wolf): The are the at the highest level of hierarchy and feed on secondary consumers for their food. Example wolf,eagle

What are the advantages of using digital waves over analog signals?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of digital over analog?

Do you want to learn more about crypto?

“Advantages of Digital Communication. The effect of distortion, noise, and interference is much less in digital signals as they are less affected. Digital circuits are easy to design and cheaper than analog circuits. The hardware implementation in digital circuits, is more flexible than analog.” In general, digital is far easier to handle and has (virtually) unlimited precision (limited only by hardware constraints and compute time).

Analog computation takes place at a significant portion of the speed of light (the time it takes for an electrical signal to traverse a circuit). However, it is almost impossible to correct completely for noise, and precision is limited to three (or at most four significant digits).

Of the total amount of glucose energy consumed by the body each day, about what percentage is used by the brain and nerve cells?
Alexeev081 [22]

Of the total amount of glucose energy consumed by the body each day, about 20% is used by the brain and nerve cells.

The brain constitutes about 2% of the total body but it is one of the main consumers of energy derived from glucose.

The energy provided by glucose is used for the proper functioning of the brain. It generates ATP which is an energy source that is responsible for r neuronal and non-neuronal cellular maintenance and generates neurotransmitters.

Thus glucose-derived energy is critical for the health of the brain. Lack of energy can cause several brain diseases.
